A person of interest has been identified in the 1993 murder of Crispin Dye in Darlinghurst. The man had a substantial criminal history, including assault.
DNA linked to two crime scenes has led to a person of interest being identified in the 1993 cold case murder of former AC/DC manager Crispin Dye, and a hair on his shirt has yielded a second lead.

The person of interest had a substantial criminal history, the inquiry heard, and he had been arrested in late 1993 and early 1994 for his involvement in two fights, including an assault on a German tourist near Kings Cross. The man died by suicide in 2002.
The inquiry sent multiple hairs found on Dye’s denim shirt, T-shirt and a piece of paper for forensic testing earlier this year. One hair from his shirt provided a partial DNA profile that had been labelled unknown male B, the inquiry heard. The inquiry previously heard that the state’s Forensic & Analytical Science Service found two pieces of paper in Dye’s shirt pocket when they were asked to conduct testing this year. This included a Post-it style note bearing a handwritten name and phone number.
Counsel assisting said the inquiry had “conducted several private hearings in relation to the death of Mr Dye. That evidence will be the subject of a confidential part of the report of the inquiry in due course”.
