THERE is a new lead in the unsolved double murder of an Adelaide street kid and a Melbourne runaway.

Known to be regular Hitch-hikers, Fiona Burns, 15, and John Lee, 14, were fatally stabbed before their bodies were dumped near the South Australia/Victoria border in 1990.

Following her murder there were reports Ms Lee was "petrified" she was about to fall victim to satanists because she had taken part in an occult ritual shortly before her death.

Those reports were denied by Ms Burns' family.

Victorian Police investigators last week received a tip-off regarding a vehicle believed to have been used by the killer or killers behind the double homicide.

Today, police are appealing for that person to again make contact to provide further details.

Despite an exhaustive investigation during the past 20 years, the murderer has never been found and the case remains unsolved.

Homicide Squad Detective Inspector John Potter said it was pertinent to the investigation that the person who called police phone again.

"This person had information on the vehicle used by the person or persons responsible for the double homicide," he said.

"We are now pleading for that person to call us back with further details in an effort to solve this two-decade-old case.

"We also are urging anyone else with information to come forward to help bring closure to the Burns and Lee families.

"These families have suffered for 20 years, not knowing what happened to their loved one.

"We know someone in the community has information, someone can help solve this crime, and we ask them to contact police."

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au
