Woman fears daughter dead
PA Auckland An Auckland mother holds little hope that her daughter, aged 22, is still alive now that Melbourne detectives are treating her disappearance as a drug syndicate slaying.
Julie Dianne Thielman and her boyfriend. Gregory Paul Ollard, aged 28, are thought to have been killed after arguing with drug-ring bosses in a Melbourne hotel room in November, 1977. Their disappearance was first disclosed by the “Auckland Star” three months ago while statements by Mr I Ollard’s sister, Mrs Char-1
maine Hawira, of Mangere, were being investigated. Mrs Hawira is now under police protection after being flown to Melbourne to provide homicide detectives there with information.
The Melbourne police have decided to treat the disappearances as cases of possible homicide. They are working on the theory that the couple, both formerly of Auckland, were killed by the same syndicate responsible for the deaths of Douglas and Isabel Wilson during Easter. The Wilsons’ bullet-riddled bodies were found on May 18, near Melbourne.
