Two years after popular Boorowa man Barry Lowe was slain in his Marsden Street house, no one has been arrested for the brutal killing.
The unsolved crime - which came 18 years after Mr Lowe's wife Dianne died in a car crash - is eating away at Mr Lowe's family and causing unease in the small town, but police say they are doing everything they can to solve the murder.
"We are following up every lead, and that is all I can tell you," said the Homicide Squad detective in charge of the investigation, Inspector Angelo Memmolo.
"Someone must know something.
"We are appealing for anyone with information to come forward."
Inspector Memmolo said it did not matter how insignificant the information may seem.
"Boorowa is a very small town, as you know, and something people may have thought would not have helped at the time in retrospect may be important."
Mr Lowe, 66, was found dead on the kitchen floor of his house on November 7, 2012, with head and upper body wounds.
Police are still not prepared to disclose a cause of death or possible weapon, but have revealed Mr Lowe met a violent end.
"The injuries were serious enough so the person who inflicted them would have known they could cause death," Inspector Memmolo said.
What police have divulged is the popular grazier was last seen alive coming home from the supermarket about 4.30pm on November 5.
Mr Lowe's body was found about 8am on November 7 by his son-in-law.
His worried family went looking for Mr Lowe when he did not show up for work on the family farm, about 40 kilometres from Boorowa, on consecutive days.
After the grisly discovery, police canvassed virtually the whole town of 1000 people and established Strike Force Menchin to investigate the homicide.
Mr Lowe's family said in a statement released to The Daily Advertiser they felt police were working hard to solve the murder.
"Our family is still struggling to come to terms with the loss of our beloved father and grandfather," the statement said.
"We are still searching for answers.
"We cannot find closure.
"He was our rock after losing our mother in a car accident in 1994.
"He was also a wonderful grandfather."
Anyone with any information that might assist the investigation is asked to telephone their local police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
