THREE decades after Sydney nurse Mary Louise Wallace went missing, a 61-year-old man has been charged with her murder and refused bail.
Ms Wallace, 33, went missing from Sydney's north shore in the early hours of September 24, 1983.
On the night she disappeared Ms Wallace had dinner and drinks with nursing colleagues at the Alpine Inn, in Crows Nest.
A 2010 inquest into her death heard she was last seen getting into a car with a man.
Ms Wallace was never seen again, and her body was never found.
Following three decades of investigations, including a 2010 coronial inquest and excavations at Lane Cove National Park, Robert Adams was arrested on Friday at his Gladesville home and refused bail at Parramatta Local Court.
Detective Chief Inspector John Lehmann said the man was known to police and had been the subject of intensive investigation.
"The evidence against him is quite comprehensive, which we'll be putting before the court," Det Chief Insp Lehmann told reporters.
He said police would put physical, forensic and DNA evidence before the court as well as witness statements he labelled "very important to our brief of evidence".
Homicide Squad Detective Superintendent Michael Willing said on Friday that police would continue searching for Ms Wallace's body.
Det Chief Insp Lehmann said Ms Wallace's friends and family were glad to hear an arrest had been made.
"They're very pleased with the result. They know it's just the start of a long court process," he said.
He called the arrest a "credit to the investigators who have put in tireless hours and an enormous amount of effort and dedication to this particular case".
