Dulcie (Darcy) Isabelle BIRT

Photos above - Ms Birt may have left her residence at 76 Old Ipswich Road in a 1998 Green Mitsubishi Triton Utility four wheel drive. It is thought she was wearing the clothing she is pictured in in the photo above left.

The vehicle was generally in poor condition with the right hand side rear tail light not working.

Investigators are also interested in speaking with anyone who has located the aluminium drop side tray belonging to the green Mitsubishi Triton Utility.

Police believe it is likely this aluminium drop side tray came off the vehicle around the time that Ms Birt went missing. The location of this tray may well be relevant to the investigation.

Fears grow for missing woman

Chris Garry | 26th October 2009 - QT

AN IPSWICH woman who was once bashed by a police officer has been missing for five days and police are increasingly concerned for her welfare.

Dulcie Isabelle Birt, 31, was last seen by a friend at 10.30pm on Wednesday at her Old Ipswich Road residence.

The Riverview mother of three was reported missing by relatives after she failed to turn up for an appointment.

In April 2004, Constable Justin Anthony Burkett brutally bashed Ms Birt at the Loganholme Police Station, after the station's watchhouse surveillance camera was turned off.

HE later pleaded guilty to assault and lying in testimony and was sentenced to three years' jail.

Burkett's attack on Birt occurred shortly after she was taken into custody for suspected shoplifting.

A 10-second video recording showed Ms Birt being flung into a watchhouse cell, followed by Burkett who grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her back against the cell wall.

The video was turned off as Burkett walked towards the woman with his fist clenched.

Burkett then punched Ms Birt in the head and body - seven or eight times.

Detective Senior Sergeant Mick Trezise could not say yesterday whether foul play was suspected in the disappearance of Ms Birt, who is a former drug addict.

But he said there were serious concerns for Ms Birt's safety, as it was out of character for her to leave the area for long periods of time.

“Anytime a person is declared missing, it is treated as suspicious,” Snr Sgt Trezise said.

Anyone with information on Ms Birt's whereabouts should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Ms Birt is Caucasian, about 175cm tall with a medium build.

Police step up search for missing woman

28th October 2009 - QT

POLICE have escalated their search for Riverview woman Dulcie Birt following reports of screaming at her house the night she went missing.

Ms Birt, 31, has been missing since Wednesday when a friend saw her about 10.30pm at her Old Ipswich Road home.

State Emergency Service (SES) volunteers and police on horses and motorbikes yesterday scoured bushland near her home.

A neighbour told police yesterday they heard “a giant scream” coming from Ms Birt's house on Wednesday night.

Ipswich CIB Detective Senior Sergeant Mick Trezise said the search area was eight square kilometres bounded by Old Ipswich Road, Child Street and Bailey Street.

“Because she's been missing for so long, we've been expanding our avenues of investigation,” Snr Sgt Trezise said.

“We think there was an argument at the house on Wednesday night.

“We're trying to track down family and friends. It's a thorough and complex investigation.”

Search co-ordinator Sergeant Lindsay Kuhrt was inundated with people offering information at his command post yesterday.

One woman stopped to report seeing a strange looking man with a German shepherd while she was walking her dog on nearby Gibbs Street.

A man said he found a length of rope in the area where police were searching and he retrieved and brought it back to show them.

Another man told of a suspect vehicle on Bailey Street.

Sgt Kuhrt said Ms Birt's twin brother Dennis spoke to him and asked him repeatedly to “stop the media hounding him”.

As he left he called over his shoulder to SES Ipswich area Arie van den Ende: “Good luck with your search. I hope you find her.”

The SES crews were sent to search heavily wooded areas too thick for horses or motorbikes.

Ms Birt is described as being Caucasian with a fair complexion, about 175cm tall with a medium build. She has brown hair and brown eyes and a love heart tattoo on the left side of her back.

The search for Ms Birt is scheduled to continue today.

Bushland hunt for missing mum

Chris Garry | 27th October 2009

POLICE have launched a large scale search for a missing Riverview mother, whose disappearance is now regarded as suspicious.

Ipswich SES members will join local police in using motorbikes, horses and foot patrols to scour a large area of bushland in Riverview where they believe Dulcie Isabelle Birt, may be found.

Police hold grave fears for the welfare of the 31-year-old and homicide detectives have now joined the investigation.

Ms Birt, who lives opposite the bushland being searched, has been missing since Wednesday.

But Ipswich CIB Detective Senior Sergent Mick Trezise said police had yet to identify any suspects who could be responsible for her disappearance.

“WE hold serious concerns for Ms Birt but the investigation is in its early stages and we're still interviewing her friends and associates,” Snr Sgt Trezise said.

Ms Birt's mobile phone and purse were left at home when she disappeared.

“She's been very reliable over the past few months,” Snr Sgt Trezise said.

“It's very out of character for her to leave unannounced and she has missed a number of appointments which were important to her.”

Ms Birt's 16-year-old son reported her missing. She has two other children.

“Everyone who knows Dulcie is very concerned about her welfare. We've had a number of calls from friends who are worried for her,” Snr Sgt Trezise said.

Ms Birt made national headlines in 2004 when Constable Justin Anthony Burkett brutally bashed her at the Loganholme Police Station.

The former officer was sentenced to three years' jail, suspended after nine months, for assault and lying in testimony.

Burkett attacked Ms Birt after he threw her in a watchhouse cell for alleged shoplifting.

He then struck her in the head and body.

When Ms Birt collapsed to the ground another police officer yelled for Burkett to stop.

Burkett would later send an email to two other officers asking them to give false testimony in his case, after a videotape of the incident was found in his work desk.

The search for Ms Birt began late yesterday afternoon but will dramatically expand today.

Police search and rescue co-ordinator for Ipswich, Lindsay Kuhrt, said the search would begin at 7am this morning.

“We've had a number of recent phone calls providing information on Ms Birt's disappearance and that information has led us to search the bushland area near her house,” Sgt Kuhrt said.

“Its difficult to say how long the search may last as there is a lot of area to cover.”

Ms Birt is described as Caucasian with a fair complexion, 175cm tall with a medium build.

Anyone with information which could assist police with their investigations should contact Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800 333 000.

Divers search water for body

Andrew Korner | 30th October 2009

Damian Dunlop/ Ipswich Queensland Times

POLICE divers scoured the depths of a disused mine yesterday as the search for missing woman Dulcie Birt entered its second week.

Known as Greenlakes, the water-filled open-cut mine not far from Ms Birt's Old Ipswich Road home is estimated to be more than 50m deep.

Detectives arrived in the area about 10am, with a team of four police divers entering the water about noon after a lengthy preparation.

Detective Senior Sergeant Mick Trezise said there were no certainties about how successful the search would be.

“A lot of it will depend on how deep our divers can go,” Sen Sgt Trezise said.

“There are a lot of steps, drop-offs and ridges - the old road underneath goes around like a cork-screw.”

The investigation into Ms Birt's disappearance took a twist late yesterday when police released a photo of a car they believe is important to their search.

Grave concerns have been held for Ms Birt, 31, since she was last seen at her home about 10.30pm on October 21.

Sen Sgt Trezise said a police site set up outside her home on Wednesday night produced some new information.

Police stepped up the search this week after neighbours reported hearing screams coming from her house on the night she went missing.

Dulcie Birt's twin brother Dennis wants to reunite his family so they can try to work out what happened to her.

Mr Birt said his family hadn't seen each other for a long time and his last contact with Dulcie was almost two weeks before she went missing.

“The last time I saw her I got a text. That was on October 11,” Mr Birt said yesterday

“She just said she wanted to see me. The last time I saw her I was at Ipswich.”

He said he hadn't seen his youngest sister Iona, now 22, since she was eight.

“I want to get all the family together to work out ideas for what happened,” he said.

“I want to hold a family meeting and work as a team.”

“I'm sick of people getting the wrong idea about her.”

“No way would she leave without telling anyone. She would only go out for an hour, no more than that. I used to live with her.”

Anyone with information that could assist police should contact Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800 333 000.

Officer pleads guilty to perjury

The Courier-Mail

July 30, 2007 03:43pm

ONE of three Brisbane police officers charged with lying to conceal an attack on a woman in a watchhouse cell faces 14 years in jail after today pleading guilty to perjury.

Constable Justin Anthony Burkett, 34, pleaded guilty to attacking an alleged shoplifter and later lying in testimony during a magistrate's court hearing and a Crime and Misconduct Commission hearing over the incident in April 2004.

Fellow officer Constable Nicole Helen Castley, 29, who lives with Burkett at Mt Cotton, had charges against her dropped by prosecutors.

While colleague Senior Constable Craig Stuart Ablitt, 50, of Munruben, pleaded not guilty for allegedly turning off a video camera as Burkett assaulted alleged shoplifter Dulcie Elizabeth Birt.

Yesterday was expected to be the first day of a five day committal hearing, until prosecutor Mark Whitbread revealed no witnesses would be required after discussions with lawyers for each of the three accused offenders.

Constable Burkett was the next of the trio called by Mr Gribbin if he wished to enter a plea to Barrister Steve Zillman, for Constable Burkett, said his client was prepared to four counts of perjury, two of perverting the course of justice and one of assault causing bodily harm.

``Guilty, your honour,'' Constable Burkett replied in a loud, clear voice.

Under existing Queensland laws perjury carries a maximum penalty of 14 years' jail.

In reading out the charges, Mr Gribbin revealed Constable Burkett allegedly assaulted Ms Birt at Loganholme on April 5, 2004, and that the attack was recorded on videotape.

Constable Burkett also gave false evidence at Ms Birt's subsequent summary trail in the Beenleigh Magistrate's Court on December 3, 2004, that she kicked him in the shin, that he never assaulted her or tape recorded the attack.

He also sent emails to two fellow police officers, including Constable Ablitt, asking them to falsify their evidence at the hearing.

Despite his guilty plea, Burkett was granted bail and remanded for sentence in the Beenleigh District Court on a date to be fixed.

Barrister Paul Brown, for Constable Ablitt, was said his client consented to having the matter committed for trial in the Beenleigh District Court

When asked by magistrate Basil Gribbin if he wanted to enter a plea to charges of attempting to pervert the course of justice and perjury, Constable Ablitt replied: ``Not guilty.''

When Mr Gribbin asked what was to be done with Constable Castley's charges, Mr Whitbread rose and said the Crown was offering no evidence and that the charges should be dismissed.

Constable Castley had been charged with two counts of perjury for allegedly giving false testimony during Ms Birt's court case and then to CMC hearings in 2005.

Constable Castley wept as both she and Burkett were escorted from the courthouse by family and friends and bundled into a waiting car. Ablitt showed little emotion as he left separate to his colleagues

No jail for unlicensed driving

Article from:

April 09, 2008 11:41am

A FORMER drug addict responsible for having a police officer jailed last year has avoided imprisonment despite being convicted of an offence while on a suspended jail term.

Dulcie Isobelle Birt, 29, pleaded guilty in the Ipswich Magistrate's Court to on count of unlicensed driving on March 5.

Prosecutor Matt Donnelly said Birt, a mother-of three, was on a suspended jail term for numerous property charges when police arrested her for her sixth unlicensed driving offence in four years.

In August last year The Courier-Mail revealed Birt was the woman who endured a brutal attack inflicted by a police officer at the Loganholme Police Station on April 5, 2004.

Former police constable Anthony Burkett, 35, was last year sentenced to three years jail after giving false testimony about a brutal beating he inflicted on Birt who he had earlier arrested for an alleged shoplifting offence.

Burkett pleaded guilty in the Beenleigh District Court to attacking Birt and later committing perjury by lying during while testifying at a magistrate's court and a Crime and Misconduct Commission hearing over the incident in April 2004.

Burkett's girlfriend, Constable Nicole Helen Castley, 30, was originally also charged with perjury, but prosecutors later dropped the charges without explanation.

Another colleague, Senior Constable Craig Stuart Ablitt, 50, of Munruben, is still awaiting trial for his alleged role of turning off a video camera as Burkett assaulted Birt.

Burkett even sent emails to Castley and Ablitt asking them to falsify their evidence at Birt's summary trial.

Senior Constable Donnelly yesterday said Birt was currently on a suspended jail sentence imposed in April last year for property offences such as stealing and possessing tainted property.

Solicitor Justin Thomas, for Birt, said his client was a reformed drug addict and had only driven on the day to collect her daily dose of Methadone from a local pharmacy.

She said his client, who has never held a driver's license, was illiterate and had found it difficult to complete the written component of the learner driver's permit test.

Magistrate Matthew McLaughlin said he was satisfied the matter could be dealt with by imposing a $400 fine.

Police officer jailed

11 Dec 08 @ 01:03pm by Koren Helbig - Albert and Logan News

A SENIOR Loganholme policeman has been jailed for helping to conceal the beating of a young mother in a holding cell.
Craig Stuart Ablitt was sentenced to 15 months’ jail, suspended after five months, in the Southern Districts Court at Beenleigh on November 28.
Ablitt turned off a video recording which documented another officer assaulting Dulcie Isobelle Birt, 25, in a cell at Loganholme Police Station in April, 2004.
The court heard that Ablitt, then a senior constable and in charge of the station, told fellow officer Justin Anthony Burkett to hide the tape in his top drawer after the incident.
The video, tabled as evidence in the court, showed Burkett throwing Birt against a cell wall before moving toward her with his right fist raised – at which point, Ablitt stopped the recording.
A rookie female constable, who was on her first day of the job, heard Birt’s screams and later exposed her colleagues’ corruption.
Burkett was sentenced to three years’ jail last August, suspended after nine months, after admitting to the beating.
On November 28, Ablitt, a father of two, pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact in the assault.
In sentencing, Judge Ian Dearden said Ablitt had breached his duty of care to other officers, the public, and a prisoner.
He rejected the defence argument that the incident was a momentary lapse in Ablitt’s judgment after years of good service.
As the judge read his verdict, Ablitt remained impassive. However, his wife and daughter broke down in the courtroom.
Logan District Superintendent Alistair Dawson said police must remain vigilant to impropriety.
