Homicide.

Quite often when I go looking on the internet for something, not much comes up in a search. Recently someone asked me about a child who was abducted in 1969, whether that child was still missing. I tried to research her but almost nothing came up in a search, and I spent several hours researching in real books (remember those? Made of paper?) to find the information.

The child that inspired that search was found after a year of being missing. What saddens me is that she's been forgotten by all except her family, who I am sure would never forget. Sometimes the families don't want them to be publicly remembered, and I completely understand and respect that but one of the things I want to do in 2008 is honour the fallen - have a page to remember the lives cruelly taken by murder. Sometimes the murders were solved, sometimes they have not been yet. I will NOT be publishing the names of the killers, as their names do not deserve to be spoken. These pages are to remember the victims and honour their lives. If you're looking for gory detail and discussions about serial killers and what they did, you have come to the wrong place.

If you are the family member of someone in this section and you would prefer that I remove them, I will of course respect your wishes and remove them immediately, please e mail me - nicole@australianmissingpersonsregister.com    or phone 0438 900 861.

This section also provides an opportunity for unsolved murders to remain in the public memory and perhaps bring forward new information. A newspaper today will wrap up tomorrow's fish and chips, but this website will remain, for people to check it at their leisure.

If you know anything about any unsolved murder, please contact your local police station or ring Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000 immediately.
