Annette Mason was just 15 years old when she was bludgeoned to death in her family's Queensland home in November 1989.
She suffered massive head injuries after she was bashed across the face, possibly with a piece of wood.
But despite police investigations and a coronial inquiry, no one has ever been charged with her murder.
On Monday (19/11/2018), 29 years after Annette's body was found in the front bedroom of her Toowoomba house, the inquest into her death will be reopened.
Coroner Terry Ryan will examine when, where and how she died.
He'll also try to determine if anyone should be charged with Annette's murder or manslaughter.
Twenty-five witnesses gave evidence during the initial inquest but the coroner of the time found there was insufficient evidence to establish the identity of Annette's killer.
It was closed subject to "reopening at any stage should further evidence become available".
Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath instructed the coroner to reopen the inquest in 2016.
The inquest is expected to run for three weeks.
