case of a man accused of a murder that occurred 26 years ago remained unresolved yesterday after a jury could not reach a unanimous verdict ! Despite 21 hours deliberations over the past four days, the three men and nine women of the jury failed to agree on the guilt or otherwise of Frank Abbott, who had pleaded not guilty to the murder of 17-year-old Helen Mary Harrison in 1968. The three-week trial of Abbott, 53, who is the caretaker of a property near Taree, is believed to be the first to be held so long after the murder it concerned. Miss Harrison, who was a sales assistant at Miller's general store at Pitt Town, near Windsor, disappeared on March 16, 1968, while riding home on her bicycle. Her body was found in a shallow grave in bushland near East Kurrajong, north of Richmond. The Crown alleged during the trial that Abbott had admitted to three people that he had murdered the girl but that they had not told anyone until years later because Abbott had threatened them.


Thank you Slouth.

The case must have dragged on as one article is 1991 and the other is 1994....

Yes and so sad for her poor parents, with being let off

not always,some lady tried to sue their neighbor so they wouldnt cook meat as she was vegetarian

When I read that I realised we've truely lost the plot on so many levels - what an example of self-indulgent bratishness ...IMO ...

Anyway, nothing to do with William so I'll let it rest & say a prayer for real solutions.

Just sleuthing different sites, local talk, trove, library card, watching comments on SM and ancestry is great to link them all up
My library card's giving me access to the newspaper articles now that I have the direction, but I would never have found if for myself.

Perhaps someone else from the 4 camp could post as well to give a balance then. After all it was obvious who they were. Such a shame if WS has been infiltrated. IMO.

Sorry P&G, would you please help me understand your comments. 4 camp ? Who's infiltrating ?
(Sorry if I'm being totally dense)

Surely this guy must have been on Jubelin’s radar, if not his you’d think he’d be on many of the locals list.
I’m surprised no one tried to claim the million dollar reward.

The young neighbours who complained to council he was a danger to the neighbourhood kids might be in line for the reward. They sound like they were hellbent ondoing something about him.

I feel so sick over the recent news regarding FA.
Last week the glimmer of hope that he could be alive with the possibility of a female being involved & now the snap back to reality that he could have been snatched by a filthy pedo & taken to a place like the recent search area.
We’ve all known for along time that this is how it was most likely going to end, but this is just horrible, that poor little boy, playing around his Nana’s house giggling & enjoying his little world one minute & grabbed by someone like FA the next.

Cool find Doc!
So only sentenced in Feb 2019.... it seems that Williams disappearance might have opened a can of “paedofile” worms in the local area??? Police have been very busy behind the scenes..,,

Totally disgusting that our justice system has failed in letting him recommit crimes over and over.

How do you get the whole criminal history?? I found all the DV's he had had in the past
