The sister of 30-year-old Mohammed Ayman Abouhait pleaded today for anyone with information about her brother's presumed death to come forward.
"If something has happened to my brother, let us know so we can finally come to terms with it and grieve properly," Inas Karem said.
"Don't leave us wondering. Please, if you know anything about Mohammed's disappearance and suspected murder, I appeal to you to come forward and speak with police."
Mr Abouhait was reported missing to police on July 30 last year after his girlfriend and family members were unable to contact him.
He was last seen five days earlier, leaving a house in Basilisk Place at Whalan in Sydney's west.
There were also reports that Mr Abouhait was seen on the same day with a man of Asian appearance in Boronia Road at nearby North St Marys.
Ms Karem said she found that someone had ransacked her brother's home in Lakemba, in Sydney's south-west, when she first went looking for him.
"My brother was a loving and caring family member, but when we held my mother's funeral last August, Mohammed didn't attend," she said.
Police divers located a number of firearms during a search of the Nepean River and found items including mobile phone parts during a search near the Great Western Highway at Minchinbury, in Sydney's west.
Detective Inspector John Betell said he hoped the $100,000 reward would convince someone to come forward.
"Our investigation has been ongoing since July last year, but we are desperate to get fresh information from members of the public," he said.
Mr Abouhait is described as of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern appearance, with an olive complexion, about 180 to 185 centimetres tall and with a medium build.
He has brown eyes and dark hair with a trimmed beard, and was last seen wearing a grey and black hooded zipped jacket with an Asics logo.
