Phyllis Harrison
Murdered

Phyllis Harrison, aged 75 years, was found murdered in the kitchen of her home at Harvey Road, Elizabeth South at about 4.30 p.m. on Tuesday 3 March 1998. She had been stabbed numerous times. Mrs Harrison was a widow who had lived at the address for the last 40 years. She resided there alone after the death of her husband. She was well known in the community and was a foundation member of the Elizabeth Grove Uniting Church, and a member of the Elizabeth Bowling Club. Mrs Harrison was an independent person who drove herself around the district. She was known in the immediate area where she regularly walked her dog. Mrs Harrison was last seen walking her dog the night before her murder, near her Harvey Road home, at about 7.45 p.m. Mrs Harrison was particularly security conscious with deadlocks, security shutters and sensor lights fitted to her home. These were undisturbed suggesting she either let her killer inside or she had not had time to re-secure her house after arriving home from walking her German Shepherd.

As at 25 June 2020, a person has been arrested and charged in relation to this matter and is now before the Courts.  Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1 800 333 000, on-line, via the App or email an investigator.

Glen Andrew Keith (Hugh) Stewart

Missing presumed murdered.

On 18 February 1977 Glen Stewart attended a party at units at 358 Seaview Road, Henley Beach where he was reported to have drunk quite a lot of white wine.  He left the party alone at about 1.00 a.m. the following morning in a dark green 1965 Morris Mini Cooper “S” with a white top, SA registration 577-394.  Patrons at the party were concerned that he was intoxicated and neither Stewart nor the vehicle have been seen since.  He was 21 years of age at the time.

His room at 51 Devitt Street, Payneham was checked and an unopened pay packet was on the dressing table and his constant and inseparable companion, his dog, was left at home, which was unusual.

He was a member of a religious group known as SUBUD.

Extensive enquiries have been conducted by police in all States, overseas and through Interpol and have failed to reveal any trace of Stewart or his vehicle.

Police suspect he has been murdered.

ANTHEA BRADSHAW-HALL

(Nil Reward)

Anthea Bradshaw-Hall

Murdered

Anthea Bradshaw-Hall, aged 26 years, was a teacher who worked at Murray Bridge.  Anthea had been married for 12 weeks and during this time her husband was working in Brunei on the island of Borneo in South East Asia. In July 1994 she went to visit her husband in Brunei and during the visit was interviewed for a teaching position there.

Anthea was due to leave Brunei and fly back to Australia on 22 July 1994 prior to any possible move to Brunei.

On 21 July 1994, the day before her return, she was murdered in her husband’s apartment in Brunei. A Coroners hearing held that the death was suspicious with limited suspects.

In the area were Anthea was murdered there were people living and working in Brunei that travelled there from all over the world. Over the years many of these people have left Brunei with some returning to Australia. It’s never too late – they might have the missing piece of the puzzle.

Anthea’s family understands asking for information about a crime committed in another country 24 years ago through Crime Stoppers is unusual but they strongly believe someone in or from Adelaide may have information that could help solve this case.

Missing, presumed murdered

On 9 June 1973, Darren ‘Jason’ Shannon aged 11 months was taken by his father John Shannon during an access visit and never see again. He was taken from an address at Blackdown Street Elizabeth West (now Davoren Park). At about 9.15 p.m. that same day, two hours after taking the baby, John Shannon was killed in a head on collision with another vehicle on Main North Road just south of Roseworthy. A search of the vehicle and crash scene failed to locate the baby.

Despite extensive searches by police and significant local and national media coverage, Jason was not located. Police believe that prior to the collision Jason was either murdered by his father and the body disposed of at an unknown location or Jason was given to a friend or relative to raise in secret.

At the time of his disappearance, Jason was wearing a long white nightdress, blue buttoned up cardigan and a nappy.
