23.01.2022 new DNA program sparks hope for the family of Joanne Ratcliffe, who mysteriously disappeared from Adelaide Oval with Kirste Gordon 47 years ago On the 47th anni...versary of the abduction of girls Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon from Adelaide Oval, a new DNA-matching program may hold the answer for their long-suffering families. Dixie Sulda, The Advertiser August 24, 2020 8:00pm THE ADVERTISER Every time Suzie Ratcliffe receives new information into the disappearance of her sister Joanne that leads to another dead end, it breaks her all over again. But on the 47th anniversary of the mysterious disappearance of Joanne Ratcliffe, 11, and Kirste Gordon, 4, abducted from a football match at Adelaide Oval in 1973 identifying her sisters remains seems closer than ever before for Ms Ratcliffe. Of course whenever someone comes forward with new information, it strikes at our heart, we try not to build up our hopes too much because if its a dead end it breaks us all over again, Ms Ratcliffe told The Advertiser. The Australian Federal Police this month launched a national DNA program for unidentified, missing persons to allow advanced DNA profiling and matching of unidentified human remains from missing persons for the first time. Project lead, associate professor Jodie Ward, said up to 500 sets of remains would be examined with modern forensic techniques to fill gaps in Australias national missing persons databases. In the event there are no DNA matches, the new technology will be used to predict the ancestry, eye and hair colour or distant relatives of the unknown individual to assist with linking them to a missing person. The AFPs National Missing Persons Coordination Centre will work with police and families of missing people to collect reference DNA samples to assist with filling gaps. My goal is to identify some of these deceased people and provide answers to families with missing loved ones, and we have the science to do that, Dr Ward said. The legacy of this program is that we have... more streamlined forensic approaches for missing persons investigations going forward. Multiple properties in South Australias Mid North have been searched for Joanne and Kirstes remains, but after 47 years, Ms Ratcliffe has not buried her sister. A sketch of a suspect has been drawn and a $1 million reward is offered for anyone who provides information that leads to a conviction. Her brother, David Ratcliffe, sadly passed away in April from a heart attack at age 59 leaving Ms Ratcliffe as the only remaining immediate family member in need of answers. He and Joanne were thick as thieves and I know over the years it had tortured him, he blamed himself a lot for not being there and not being able to protect the girls on the day they were taken. She said the prospect of identifying Joannes remains would bring her brother, mother, and father peace from the grave. The unidentified human remains of about 500 people have been found in Australia, with the new program aiming to give closure to families after years of searching. This new technology and this new program, thats a huge light for families, knowing it could possibly lead to them finally being reunited with their loved ones. We just want to bring Joanne and Kirste home so we can bury them with the love and respect they deserve. In 2015 Ms Ratcliffe formed the Leave a Light On Foundation to raise awareness for long-term missing persons and connect a community experiencing loss. The organisation was named after Ms Ratcliffes mother left the light on of their Campbelltown property for years following Joannes disappearance in case she returned home. Ms Ratcliffe remains in contact with Kirstes family through a victim support officer, and has communicated with more than 150 families of missing persons to alert them of the new DNA program. Her daughter, Tamara, 14, was given her middle name after Joanne. (Tamara) looks very much like her Aunty Joanne, and who has the same sort of fiery temper, but also the same caring and loving nature. Every year Ms Ratcliffe and Tamara go to Woolshed Falls near Beechworth in Victoria to throw flowers down the falls on Joannes anniversary on August 25. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the pair will this year burn a candle in her honour. See more

17.01.2022 It is about time legislation is changed so all states and territories in Australia change sentence laws regarding Serial Predators whether they are Rapist or Pedophiles Rapist to life imprisonment. We dont want to wait until they progress to murder. The death sentence will never happen so let them rot in prison.

14.01.2022 <3 Belated remembrance <3 Today we remember Eloise Worledge Imagine kissing your children good night before climbing in to bed, only to awaken the following... morning with the horrific realisation your daughter is missing from her bed... Sadly, this is not the scene from a television programme or a scenario from a novel - this was the horrible reality for the Worledge family on the morning of Monday, 12th January 1976. 44 years ago, the shocking disappearance of Eloise Worledge from her family home changed the lives of the Worledge family forever. At just 8 years of age, Eloise disappeared from the familys Beaumaris home in Victoria, and to date has not been found. On the morning of the 12th January 1976, Eloises brother raised the alarm of her disappearance, when he found she was not in her room at 7:30am. He later informed police he had heard "robbers" kidnap his sister, but had kept quiet as he was scared they would take him too. Although there were no signs of a forced entry or a struggle, a small hole in the window flyscreen caused some concern for a short period of time, until it was ruled out as being too small. Police believe Eloise may have been lured from her bed by someone she was familar with and left via the front door, which had been left unlocked. At one point in time, Eloises father was treated as a suspect but a police review of the case found, "At the conclusion of investigations into Lindsay Worledge, no evidence in regards to his involvement has been uncovered." Or an alternative scenario that was not discounted was Eloise may have been abducted by a prowler who was known to be in the area at that time. Despite a $10,000 reward being posted in 1976 and an extensive search, the largest of its kind in Victorian history, no trace of Eloise has ever been found. Eloise is dearly loved and missed by her family. They have been denied the opportunity to watch Eloise grow up and face all of lifes experiences. Sadly, her father passed away several years ago not knowing what happened to his little girl. If you have any information which may assist police to bring Eloise home to her family, please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

12.01.2022 For the Family who never gave up for justice and moved forward to help prevent this from ever happening again to another child..

09.01.2022 It is now 54 years since the three Beaumont children disappeared without a trace. It was on Australia Day, Wednesday 26 January 1966, when Jane (aged 9), Arnna ...(aged 7) and Grant (aged 4) left their home at Harding Street, Somerton Park to go the beach at Glenelg. Confirmed sightings of the three children were at Colley Reserve, Glenelg and Wenzels Cake shop in Mosley Street, Glenelg. They have not been seen or heard of since despite extensive and ongoing investigations into their disappearance. Police suspect the children have been abducted and murdered. A reward of up to $1m is on offer to anyone who provides information that leads to the conviction in the case and/or the recovery of the victims remains.

05.01.2022 A look into criminal profiling and views on Corrections and the legal system with predatory offenders

05.01.2022 8 year old Eloise Worledge disappeared from her home in the Melbourne suburb of Beaumaris on January 12, 1976. Worledges brother raised the alarm about her dis...appearance when he noticed she was not in her room at 7.30am. He later told police he heard "robbers" who kidnapped his sister, but was too scared to say anything at the time because he thought they would take him too. There was no sign of a struggle. Investigations revealed no signs of forced entry or a struggle. Police believed Worledge was lured from her bed by someone she was familiar with and simply left the house via the front door, which had been left unlocked. Another possibility not discounted was Worledge may have been abducted by a prowler known to be in the area at the time. A speeding car down Worledges street at 2am was reported by a neighbour. Bark from a tree outside her window was found on her bedroom floor. A small hole had been cut in the flyscreen in her window, but forensic tests revealed it had been cut from the inside. Police believed it was too small to have been used by the abductor. Because scientific evidence found it unlikely that Eloise was taken through her open bedroom window, both parents were initially treated as suspects. Despite the biggest missing-persons search in Victorias history and despite a $10,000 reward posted in 1976 that remains unclaimed, no trace of her has ever been found. Homicide cold-case detectives began reinvestigating the case in 2001. See more

03.01.2022 Belated remembrance Today we remember Cheryl Grimmer 50 years, half a century, 5 decades, 18,250 days no matter how you look at it, it is quite a long ...time to pass under any circumstance. But for the family of Cheryl Grimmer, 50 years have been the most excruciating length of time no family should ever have to endure. Monday 12th January 1970, a hot summers day, which dawned bright and clear was a perfect day for a trip to the beach. For the Grimmer family, that perfect day soon turned into a living nightmare, one which they have had to endure for the last 50 years. Can you help put an end to that nightmare? If you have ANY information, please contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000... On January 12th 1970, 3 year old Cheryl Grimmer was at Fairy Meadow Beach Wollongong NSW with her mother and 3 older brothers. The Grimmer family had spent some time at the beach, before heading to the beach toilet block to change out of their wet clothes. Cheryls mother waited patiently on the nearby sand just metres away, whilst the three boys and Cheryl went into the block to get changed. Cheryls older brother Ricki left her alone briefly to ask his mum for help to get Cheryl out of the toilet block, but when they returned, just a few minutes later, Cheryl was gone. A massive search of the area was conducted, but proved unsuccessful in locating Cheryl. Alleged sightings of Cheryl were reported to police but thorough investigations of these sightings were inconclusive. Despite extensive investigations by police over the years and appeals through media, Cheryl remains missing. Several theories had evolved over the years, but never led anywhere. In March 2017, a 63 year old man was formally charged with the abduction and murder of Cheryl. He was arrested in Melbourne by detectives who acted on fresh information they had received. It is alleged this man, who had been a long running person of interest, had made admissions to the murder when interviewed by police 18 months after Cheryl disappeared, but officers ultimately dismissed the mans confession due to apparent inconsistencies with what police already knew about the case. This person, who cannot be named as he was aged 17 at the time of his confession, stated that his intention was to rape her. In a pre-trial hearing, the confession was ruled inadmissible by the NSW Supreme Court because the accused had no adult support present during the 1971 police interview. At the time this was not a legal requirement and current legislation does not necessitate that adult support had to be present for the interview to be admissible. Nonetheless, the confession was ruled inadmissible at the judges discretion, despite the fact that the details within it have been corroborated by NSW police. A petition is currently circulating calling for this mans confession to be heard before a jury, for justice for a beautiful little girl, forever aged 3 years old (link in comments below) Sadly, both of Cheryls parents are now deceased, but her brothers still hold on to hope they will have some answers, so they can finally bury their sister with the love, dignity and respect she deserves Each and every day, Cheryls brothers live with this heartache - if you can help the Grimmer family, with ANY information you may have, if you were at the beach that day and may have seen something, please contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 There is a one million dollar reward currently on offer Some one may have SEEN something... Some one may have HEARD something... Someone may KNOW something.... Is that someone YOU? PLEASE, pick up the phone today and call Crime Stoppers....
