This monument is in memory of
Lucille Butterworth.
20-year-old Miss Butterworth disappeared in 1969 at a bus stop in Claremont.
The remains of Miss Butterworth have never been found but in 2015 Coroner Simon Cooper found that she had been picked up and killed by Geoffrey Charles Hunt. Despite the coronial finding, the state's Director of Public Prosecutions declined to press charges due to a lack of admissible evidence.
This monument has been erected between Granton and New Norfolk where in 2015 police conducted a two-week dig for clues into the 1969 disappearance.
The Stone for the Monument was removed from the West Hobart Quarry now closed. At the quarry in 1922 Miss Butterworth's grandfather Tasman Butterworth was killed by a falling rock. It was fitting to use a piece of rock from the quarry for this Monument.
