Who killed Juanita Nielsen?

Answer 1

Juanita Nielsen's body was never discovered but an inquest determined that she had been murdered. The case was never solved.

Her remains will never be found. Her body was destroyed within minutes of her murder at The Lido Motel, Roslyn Street, Kings Cross.

Juanita, a 38 year old campaigning journalist, was murdered by three men, one of them a former NSW police officer. I named all three in a cover story for Newsweek Bulletin on the 20th anniversary of the killing but, like all of our claims, the expose was ignored. See http://wwwjuanitanielsencom.blogspot.com/2008/11/juanita-nielsen-murder.HTML

The killing was political: Juanita was about to publish a major expose on organised crime and corruption within the Sydney Establishment. It remains unresolved because it was covered up by the Serious Crimes Squad of the NSW Police.

I know these facts because I undertook a journalistic investigation into the killing, following the trail of corruption that brought about Juanita's death, and was forced to leave Sydney when my own life was in danger.

By then I and another British born reporter had traced witnesses ignored by the investigating detectives and through them had established beyond doubt the facts of the killing. As if to confirm our claims, we were beaten up, abducted, arrested on spurious charges and subjected to death threats by mobsters and constant surveillance by their accomplices in the NSW Police.

More than thirty years later the story continues to provoke wide spread public interest but the conspiracy of silence is extant.

The Sydney media, orchestrated by the police department's PR machine, totally ignored our allegations from the outset and continue to do so, as recently as last year.

This centres upon a book which is claimed to be the true story of the Nielsen murder but which is merely an extension of the official version of events, the cover-up of the conspiracy my colleague and I could prove beyond doubt.

I wrote a critique of the book, pointing out the errors and omissions and relating the true facts and offered it to various Sydney newspaper editors. Not one bothered to reply. The story was not used.

I can only deduce that the political implications are too great, the truth too dangerous for public consumption.

Such is life in the place they call the Lucky Country, arguably the most corrupt society in the western world.
