Police also seized an unusual shaped barrel, used to carry gherkins, from the family home. Both denied any involvement but no charges were ever laid. Allard, who had refused police protection, was with Richmond heroin baron Dennis Allen at the time of the killing.
Allen was the prime suspect but was never charged. He was also involved in a bitter family feud with alleged mafia heavyweight Frank Madafferi. They are trying to destroy my reputation, my family.
As an Armaguard van approached, having already been stalked by a crew member, it was stopped and a bandit used a skeleton key to bust open the back doors. The guard riding in the back had a gun held to his head and another two guards weredragged from the front seats to the back, where all three had their hands tied and bags put over their heads. Several scenarios have been put forward — drownings, abductions, lost in the bush and even that they staged their own drownings.
Bennett was shot three times. The hitman fled along a perfect, pre-planned escape route. Only hours later, after shop keepers used a duplicate key, her body was found in a horrific, bloodied state.
Serial murderer and rapist Peter Dupas has been identified as a suspect. Her body was found a year later in a creek with three gunshot wounds to the head. The crime terrified Victoria and police received more than 10, public tip-offs, searched 30, homes and interviewed 27, people over the case. He spared his six-year-old daughter from electrocution but used a hammer to hit her over the head and fracture her skull.
He did the same to her siblings. He then wrapped their dead bodies in blankets and tarpaulin, before putting them in his car and pushing it over a cliff face in Port Campbell. While scrubbing blood from the home floor he learnt the car had surfaced. Crawford then disappeared. If still alive, he would be in his 80s. He named a member of the Haddara clan, who denied having any involvement.
Haddara told police his family used to be friends with the Chaouks. But when his son Mohammed Haddara was murdered, the relationship soured as he suspected the Chaouks were behind the slaying. They did not realise it was their other son John, who footage showed carrying a sword thought to be used in the murder.
A fitness group found Mr Dick. Despite efforts to save him, he died after having had his throat slashed. After being sexually assaulted, she was forced to crouch down while a black plastic bag was put over her head and her feet bound with cord. She was then dumped in Kororoit Creek, Altona, where she bled to death while partially submerged.
Her killer had beaten her around the head. Before her grisly death, she had visited her best friend at the Box Hill hospital. Her husband had found her car just moments before her body was discovered with blood on the front seat. Police have been unable to establish a motive or come up with suspects. Her death came after several stalker-like incidents including rock-throwing and vandalism attacks, at her home and during her drive to work.
January 21, An arsonist chose a dry day with hot conditions, intent on causing extensive damage and heartache. The Dandenong Ranges became a raging orange fireball killing three people, destroying 42 homes and damaging 45 more. One theory was that Italiano — a member of a famous Melbourne mafia family — ordered his death, fearing Furlan would help police unravel the corrupt raffles he was operating. Friends have told police Furlan thought he was being followed days before his death and, late at night, threatening phone calls were made.
There were some items taken from the house — a video recorder and some appliances — but police have always believed the scene was made to look like a burglary. January 16, He was a suave gangster, but the man known as the Black Prince of Lygon Street was wearing only his underwear inside the laundry of his Templestowe home when he was shot in the head several times. Police dug for murder clues on a block of land where he was last seen alive. You may recognise the names or faces of people whose death has been classified as a cold case — and police are now hoping you may be able to help solve their murders.
History has repeatedly shown that murder is often not a secret that someone keeps to themselves — and that there are people in the community with the right information to solve these cases.
There will be people who have information about each of these investigations and we urge those people to come forward and tell us what they know.
It might be that enough time has passed or perhaps circumstances and relationships have changed; it is never too late to speak up and tell police what you know. It could be that your piece of information is the missing piece of the investigative puzzle and the one that makes all the difference. Go to our cold case stories. Anyone with information about the cold cases on our Cold case stories page is asked to contact Crime Stoppers Victoria on or submit a confidential report on the Crime Stoppers Victoria website.
Each case includes background on the investigation and a photograph of the victim, as well as a personal appeal from the investigator to the public for information about the murder. Each of these victims was loved by someone — they were fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, friends and colleagues who are still deeply missed.
There is also a link at the bottom of the case directly to Crime Stoppers, so if you have information about the matter it can be reported directly, easily and confidentially. Take a look at our list of cold case stories to see if you recognise a name or face, and let us know if you have any information that might help us solve a case.
