Toronto police are offering a $50,000 reward for information in the cold case of an eight-year-old girl who disappeared 40 years ago.

Police announced the reward outside the same apartment building where Nicole Morin went missing on July 30, 1985.

Police say she was last seen around 11 a.m. after leaving her apartment in Etobicoke to meet a friend for a swim, but she never arrived.

Det. Sgt. Steve Smith says police have conducted "one of the most extensive searches" in Toronto police history, but have not located Morin, who would now be 48 years old.

Investigators have released an updated age-progressed image of Morin, showing what she may look like as an adult, and are offering the monetary reward for information that leads to her location.

Smith says the case has "never been forgotten" and urges anyone with information to come forward.
