Leslie Devitt Missing Persons

CANNONVALE man Michael Leslie Devitt is one of many people in the spotlight this week, National Missing Persons Week.

Police are still trying to find Mr Devitt, who was reported missing by his family in February 2010.

During National Missing Persons Week, Mackay police are working with Queensland police to promote awareness about this year’s theme, ‘when someone goes missing, more than one person is lost’.

Acting Sergeant Angela Warcon, of Mackay’s crime prevention unit, said a missing person affected the family and community.

In the area.

Unsolved Murders....

A REWARD of $250,000 remains for information which could solve the murder of Dorothy Mavis Britton at Airlie Beach.

It was the 16th anniversary of Mrs Britton's brutal death yesterday and police reminded everyone that this unsolved crime has a major reward.

"In addition to $250,000, an appropriate indemnity from prosecution will be recommended for any accomplice, not being the person who actually committed the crime, who first gives information," police said.

Mrs Britton, aged 48, died as a result of a single shotgun wound to the head and a murder weapon has never been located.

She was last seen alive about midday on March 6, 1996."In addition to $250,000, an appropriate indemnity from prosecution will be recommended for any accomplice, not being the person who actually committed the crime, who first gives information," police said.

Mrs Britton, aged 48, died as a result of a single shotgun wound to the head and a murder weapon has never been located.

She was last seen alive about midday on March 6, 1996.

When relatives could not contact her the next day, a daughter-in-law went to the home in Timberlands Rd, Jubilee Pocket.

Darkness had fallen and she found no light on.

She found the wooden front door open.

However, the sliding screen door was closed but not locked.

The Britton's dog was standing on the veranda near the front door.

On entering the premises she found the body and phoned Whitsunday police and a nearby friend of the family.

Investigators believed that robbery was not a motive as Mrs Britton's handbag containing cash was undisturbed and the dwelling did not give the appearance of having been ransacked.

Mrs Britton was on a bed in the main bedroom and there did not appear to be signs of a struggle.

Subsequent investigations revealed that Mrs Britton had attended folk art in Pleasant Dr at Cannonvale between 9.15am and 12.30pm the previous day and had not been seen after that.

Neighbours reported that they could not recall hearing the Britton's dog barking.

Police were unable to locate a shotgun, which was missing from the property. It was long barrelled with a single trigger that had to be cocked before firing.

There was a lever on the top used to break open the shotgun.

It was considered that clothing work by the person responsible for the shooting may have become bloodstained while committing the offence, requiring them to wash themselves, or wash or dispose of their clothing.

Credit Card Fraud exposed.

NSW Police Force

Detectives from the Fraud and Cybercrime Squad and officers from the Australian Federal Police (AFP) have arrested a man wanted in relation to nearly 100 fraud-related offences.

Last year, detectives from the Fraud and Cybercrime Squad formed Strike Force Kaye to investigate fraud offences after numerous electronic devices were found during a search warrant at a property in The Rocks on 10 May 2013.

Inquiries led to police uncovering an alleged fraud syndicate involved in hacking, identity crime and other fraud offences, as well as the use of a Costa Rica-based currency transfer and payment-processing company to launder money. That company was shut down by an overseas government last year.

Numerous people have been arrested and charged and remain before the court in Sydney after being charged by Strike Force Kaye detectives.

Early yesterday (Tuesday 25 February 2014), Strike Force Kaye detectives and officers from the AFP executed a search warrant at a property in Brisbane, where they arrested a 23-year-old man.

The man, who was arrested and charged by NSW Police for a number of fraud-related offences last February (2013), failed to show up at a number of scheduled court appearances, resulting in police issuing 14 warrants for his arrest. The warrants relate to 96 fraud-related offences, which allegedly amounted to more than $1.8 million.

Included in the list of 96 offences are charges relating to:

- The unauthorised transfer of funds from multiple bank accounts;

- The forging of identification documents, including drivers licenses;

- The sale of non-existent goods via an online marketplace; and,

- Numerous cases of credit card fraud.

Following the man’s arrest, officers from the AFP executed a search warrant at one of his relative’s homes in Melbourne. During the search, police located and seized a large amount of cash and numerous electronic devices.

The man appeared before court in Brisbane yesterday, and will be extradited to Sydney later today (Wednesday 26 February 2014).

The AFP are expected to lay additional charges in relation to the man’s recent activities at a later date.

The Commander of the NSW Police Force’s Fraud and Cybercrime Squad, Detective Superintendent Arthur Katsogiannis, commended Strike Force Kaye detectives for their remarkable efforts.

“To date, 18 people have been arrested and collectively charged with more than 236 fraud-related offences,” Detective Superintendent Katsogiannis said.

“Strike Force Kaye detectives have done an excellent job. They have been absolutely relentless in their pursuit of people who we believe have fraudulently obtained millions of dollars worth of ill-gotten gains.”

Detective Superintendent Katsogiannis added that while fraud is often a silent crime, its impact on victims can be devastating.

“Unlike armed robberies or bag-snatches which typically occur while the victim is present, fraud victims are often completely unaware that they are being robbed,” Detective Superintendent Katsogiannis said.

“Yet the impact on the victim can be equally as devastating. Some victims of fraud lose their entire life savings; their whole life’s work lost as a result of a scam undertaken by a greedy criminal.

“If you suspect you may have been the victim of fraud, or you know of anyone who is committing fraudulent acts, please contact Crime Stoppers immediately.”

AFP Manager Cyber Crime Operations, Commander Glen McEwen, praised the joint work of the two agencies.

“This is an example of effective cross-jurisdictional cooperation in combating cybercrime activities,” Commander Glen McEwen said.

Police are urging anyone with information about fraud or cybercrime to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://www.police.nsw.g

Four people charged after Darlinghurst, Surry Hills raids

Wednesday, 26 February 2014 06:55:36 AM

Four people have been arrested and charged with numerous drug offences after search warrants were executed at Darlinghurst and Surry Hills.

Officers attached to the Surry Hills Proactive Team have been investigating the alleged supply of prohibited drugs within the Surry Hills Local Area Command.

Following an exhaustive investigation, police yesterday (Tuesday 25 February 2014), executed four search warrants on houses in Darlinghurst and Surry Hills.

As a result of ongoing inquiries, police have arrested and charged three men – aged 23, 28 and 34 – and a 31-year-old woman.

They were charged with a total of 20 offences, including;

• Ongoing supply prohibited drug;
• Agree to supply prohibited drug;
• Supply prohibited drug; and
• Possess prohibited drug.

During the past few months, police have seized more than 380 ecstasy tablets, almost one litre of liquid GHB, cocaine and other prohibited drugs, with an estimated potential street value of more than $16,000.

All four were refused bail to appear before Central Local Court today (Wednesday 26 February 2014).

Surry Hills Local Area Command Crime Manager, Detective Inspector Craig Middleton, said the arrests were the result of a lot of hard work and dedication.

“A lot of time and preparation goes into these types of operations. This should be a warning to anyone who profits from the sale of prohibited drugs as we will target you.

“We believe we have dismantled an important drug syndicate, which is a great result particularly as we endeavour to provide a safe environment for everyone involved in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras this weekend,” Detective Inspector Middleton said.

Polio vaccine had SV40 allegedly cancer causing

Cancer, Simian Virus 40 (SV40), and Polio Vaccine Fact Sheet

• SV40 is a virus found in some species of monkey.
• SV40 was discovered in 1960. Soon afterward, the virus was found in polio vaccine.
• More than 98 million Americans received one or more doses of polio vaccine from 1955 to 1963 when a proportion of vaccine was contaminated with SV40; it has been estimated that 10–30 million Americans could have received an SV40 contaminated dose of vaccine.
• SV40 virus has been found in certain types of cancer in humans, but it has not been determined that SV40 causes these cancers.
• The majority of scientific evidence suggests that SV40-contaminated vaccine did not cause cancer; however, some research results are conflicting and more studies are needed.
•   Polio vaccines being used today do not contain SV40. All of the current evidence indicates that polio vaccines have been free of SV40 since 1963.

JFK conclusion more than one shooter

The Zapruder film shows us when the last two shots hit the JFK limousine and the forensic facts tell us from whence they came. Witness statements support the timing of the last two shots seen on the Zapruder film.

There were bullet fragments found in the front seat area of the limousine and were fired from Lee H. Oswald's rifle. There was damage to the front windshield. One damaged area was a large dent in the chrome strip above the windshield on the inside. The bullet fragment that caused this damage would have made a significant sound upon impact and would have physically moved the front windshield window frame for an instant.

The first of the last two shots occurred as JFK was seen slumped to his left. This shot occurred in Z313. JFK is seen violently thrown back and to his left in subsequent Zapruder frames and witnesses tell us that JFK had a large hole in the back of his head. The last shot occurs at Z322 where it can be seen that a reflection flare in the vicinity of SSA Kellerman's head exhibits itself for just this one frame. So direct bullet impact shows up in just one frame for each shot. Since the reflection flare indicates that this is when the chrome was damaged then logic tells us that the shot was from Oswald's rifle. So we have two shots less than a second apart and from two different directions. Therefore there was a conspiracy in the murder of JFK.

Special Agent George W. Hickey, Jr. of the United States Secret Service riding in the car behind the President said in his report dated 11-22-63 "....I heard a loud report which sounded like a firecracker. ......I stood up and looked to my right and rear........Perhaps 2 or 3 seconds elapsed ......and then looked at the President. He was slumped forward and to his left, and was straightening up to an almost erect sitting position as I turned and looked. At the moment he was almost sitting erect I heard two reports which I thought were shots and that appeared to me completely different in sound than the first report and were in such rapid succession that there seemed to be practically no time element between them........."

My theory is and it is supported by evidence independent of Mr. Hickey that the shot sounds were 'pop..pop..POW...(pause)...POW.POW.' The 'pop..pop..POW' in my opinion was interpreted as sounding like a firecracker by Mr. Hickey. Many other ear witnesses reported that the first shot sounded like a firecracker or a motorcycle backfiring. Whatever the sounds witnesses actually heard for this firecracker sound it was later thought to be the first shot of three.

Mr. Hickey continued to say "....The first shot of the second two seemed as if it missed because the hair on the right side of his head flew forward and there didn't seem to be any impact against his head. The last shot seemed to hit his head and cause a noise at the point of impact which made him fall forward and to his left again. Possibly four or five seconds elapsed from the time of the first report and the last."

If one views the Zapruder film and studies the movements of the President during the head shot it becomes apparent that Mr. Hickey was viewing the reactions of the head shot in his descriptions of "...was straightening up..." and "..hair on the right side of his head flew forward.."

So the last shot occurred as the President was "..noise at the point of impact which made him fall forward and to his left again." We know that the head shot was at Zapruder film frame Z313 and we know JFK is falling forward and to his left again at Z330. This is essentially one second in time because Zapruder's camera has been measured to operate at 18.3 frames per second. The bullets hit their targets a fraction of a second ahead of the sounds that reached Hickey's ears and his mind's recognition of those sounds. Those two shots had to be less than a second apart.

Conclusions: The actual shooting sequence evidence does not support just a single shooter firing Oswald's rifle. It was determined by tests that a shooter using Oswald's rifle should take at least 2.3 seconds between shots.

Other agents in the motorcade reported similar sounds and sequence which support Hickey's account.

Special Agent William R. Greer, driver of the Presidential limousine said in his W.C. testimony "..The last two seemed to be just simultaneously, one behind the other...."

Special Agent Roy H. Kellerman operating the radio in the Presidential limousine said in his W. C. testimony ".."We are hit; get us to the hospital immediately". Now, in the seconds that I talked just now, a flurry of shells come into the car. ..."

Special Agent Winston G. Lawson in the car ahead of the Presidential limousine said in his W. C. testimony "...then I heard two more sharp reports, the second two were closer together than the first. "

Special Agent In Charge Emory P. Roberts riding in the car behind the Presidential limousine said in his report November 29, 1963 "12:30 p.m. First of three shots fired, at which time I saw the President lean towards Mrs. Kennedy. I do not know if it was the next shot or third shot that hit the President in the head, ...."

Conclusions: The actual shooting sequence evidence does not support just a single shooter firing Oswald's rifle. It was determined by tests that a shooter using Oswald's rifle should take at least 2.3 seconds between shots.
