or 13 long years the family of Paul Strangio have searched for answers after he was shot to death at his Glenmore Park home. So far, they have come up painfully short. Now, the NSW Police Force has announced a $500,000 reward for information regarding his murder – as they desperately try to give the family closure. Paul Strangio’s brother, Julian Strangio, said
