Melcom Cross vanished in Woolloomooloo

I am sure there will be evidence of how a person who catches a taxi from Cheltenham to Woolloomooloo will allegedly murder a taxi driver for money?  Then go to Adelaide with the credit card to prove the person is still alive.  It all happened for a reason the alleged drug network.

Melcom Arthur CROSS R94185
I note your site looking for people from HMAS LEEUWIN 1964. Amongst those people is Melcom Arthur CROSS (you spelt his first name wrong, its an unusual spelling).

Melcom CROSS mysteriously disappeared 30 years ago during his shift as a cabbie in Sydney, see articles attached. I have recently been handed the (re opened) Missing matter to try and locate him. Strike Force GROVENOR relates. His family would like to locate him or at least get some kind of closure on the matter.

Whilst completing a name search on Google I saw your site. Are you able to tell me if you have received any information on him (no piece of information is too small). I am also seeking to find out who his mates may have been, and if they had any contact after he left the Navy.


Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.
