Naden is suspected of being involved in the disappearance of his cousin Lateesha Nolan in early 2005, and the murder of Kristy Scholes about six months later.
Police suspect him of breaking into a number of isolated properties across the Barrington Tops looking for non-perishable food, camping gear, torches and guns.
The reward for Naden’s arrest is effectively the first bounty granted by the State government since 1900.
NSW Police Force Commissioner Andrew Scipione and Acting Deputy Commissioner David Hudson will brief the media on the search for Mr Naden in the Nowendoc area, east of Tamworth, soon.
