police and licensing authorities, and they made it extremely difficult to open
a strip club, bar or nightclub without going through him first. The rare club licences granted to others
required a consideration paid to my father.”

3 rooms were converted in to Abe Saffron’s office. Now, there is a link to the Lodge and numbers

mid seventies was known as The King of the Cross, fed right into his ego.
Page 133 Just a story about Juanita Nielsen.
Juanita Nielsen went missing on the morning of 4 July 1975,
when she was last seen visiting the Carousel Club for an appointment to sell
advertising space in her weekly community newspaper NOW. Anderson was very smart and sent his son that
morning to the airport, where he had booked a ticket to Queensland. The son used his dad’s name to board the
flight and again to check into a Brisbane hotel. For all appearances, Anderson had set up a
perfect alibi, because as there was no confirmation of who was travelling in
those days, a cursory police check verified his story. Meanwhile, according to the word on the
street, Eddy Trigg and Anderson’s adopted stepson Shane took Juanita by force
to a motel in North Sydney near the Harbour.
Anderson, Theeman and a police friend of Jim’s were waiting at the
motel, where Frank offered Juanita a substantial amount of money to back off in
her attacks about his redevelopment.
Naturally, Juanita was extremely angry about being kidnapped and started
to scream at the top of her voice. Jim
overreacted and hit her very hard, casuing her to smash her head on a glass
coffee table, which instantly killed her.
Theeman and the policeman quickly ran from the room, leaving Anderson
alone to take care of the corpse. Shane
and Eddy had already been told that they could leave as their job was only to
deliver Juanita to the motel and keep her quiet, which they did until the
others arrived. They were eventually
charged and found guilty solely of conspiracy for their involvement in the crime
of kidnapping Nielsen. Alone, Anderson
came up with the only solution he could think of at the time- he told me he
secretly bundled Juanita Nielsen’s body into the trunk of his car and drove to
a deserted place, cut her into pieces and put the body parts into sealed
plastic bags with weights in each. Later
that evening, he went out in a small boat and disposed of her remains in Sydney
Harbur.
Anderson clearly wanted me to know what he had done because
he knew I would tell my father and it would serve as a warning of what he was
capable of. Later, he boasted to my
father directly of his dastardly deed and said that if my dad ever interfered
in his business he might end up like Juanita.
My father finally confirmed the story as told to him by
Anderson when we talked at length in the hospital before he died. He even confessed that for the first time it
had made him a little scared of Andersn’s threats. Considering also Jim’s boasts that he took
care of “the problem”, I am satisfied that this describes the unfortunate fate
of Juanita Nielsen.
Page 135, Everyone around him, including police, knew Dad
had nothing to do with murder, and the underbelly of Kings Cross knew what kind
of person Anderson was. No one in the
Cross respected him, but they were afraid of him. Yet many in the media, and hence the public
thought and still think that Anderson only did what he had been told to do by
my father. There was never any evidence
pointing to my father and investigations never went further.
When I told The Sun Herald in 2007 that I would reveal the
truth of Nielsen’s murder in my book, I received a death threat via the paper,
allegedly from Anderson’s son, David in New Zealand, telling me to keep my
mouth shut.
The Sun Herald, The NSW Police cold case squad called me and
eventually, after the appointment of a new Police Commissioner, I was visited
and interviewed by two detectives in Los Angeles. I related the whole story, although I have no
confidence that anything further will be done.
Ghost Train,
In June 1979, the Ghost Train caught fire at Sydney’s Luna
Park, killing six teenagers and one adult.
The police report stated that highly flammable turpentine-based paint,
then common, was used extensively in the Ghost Train ride, both on the painting
of the sets and on portions of the cars carrying the passengers. Today, non-flammable paint would be used. Additionally, disaster planning was not as
sophisticated and carefully monitored as it is now, and when sparks from the
railing on the ride accidentlly ignited a fire, the whole Ghost Train was
quickly set ablaze. Regrettably, exits
were not clearly and properly marked and the victims faced certain peril. Police and fire department investigations
concluded that the fire was a tragic accident and that there was no possible
motive for anyone to have caused such a vicious act.
Police officer Warren Molloy went from Luna Park to
Inspector licensing squad.

The Carousel Cabaret, where Juanita Nielsen was last seen,
along with notes of a converstaiton between Saffron and the investigating
police, mentioned in the police running sheet.
The conversation occurred on 27 March 1978 a few years after Nielsen’s
disappearance. Saffron was interviewd by
the lead investigators, Detective Sergeants Arkins and Marone.
The note read:
Saffron stated that he had not met Juanita Nielsen and was
questioned as to his knowledge of any
papers she might have had connecting him to the Victoria Street development or
any other papers. He replied , No, I’m
not connected with Victoria Street. He
denied that he was being blackmailed by Nielsen and although he was friends with Frank Theeman the developer, he
had no business dealings with him.
Saffron was interviewed as a result of suggestions put forward by Lloyd
Marshall and Laretta Crawford.
Page 236
(Marshall and Crawford were two key players in the
inquiry). In 1969, Theeman had bought
two terraces in Victoria Street, Potts Point, and at the time had given his
address as c/- A Saffron.
In a closing question, Flemming took a nice jab at Saffrn,
asking him if ‘his dealings with Jimmy Anderson indicated that he was just ‘a
naïve businessman’. For one brief
moment, the cool and calm slipped.
Saffron snapped, ‘No, it certainly does
not.”
Abe Saffron left the court, effectively out of contention
in the Nielsen inquiry.
In her summing up to the inquest soon 9 November 1983,
Flemming didn’t mince words in putting forward her view of Anderson.
Mr Anderson’s attitude to the police was venomous. He held this court and you as a jury in
contempt and he showed himself to be a stranger to the truth. In his evidence, he was selective, he was
slippery and he was spiteful. You
cannot, in my submission, accept his evidence unless corroborated by some other
evidence.
