The man accused of murdering German backpacker Simone Strobel on the New South Wales North Coast in 2005 has had his charges dropped.
Tobias Moran – Strobel’s former boyfriend – was arrested and charged with her murder as well as perverting the course of justice last year.
Moran has always denied any involvement in Strobel’s death.

Strobel had been on a night out with Moran and friends when she was last seen at Lismore Tourist Caravan Park on February 11, 2005.
Her body was found six days later, concealed under palm fronds at a sports ground, less than 100 metres from the caravan park.
