September program results

Posted on 14/11/2018

The phones were ringing hot and web reports steadily streaming in throughout September, with nearly 2000 contacts received by people wanting to do their bit for a safer community.

Information was fairly wide-ranging throughout the month, with 22 people apprehended by police for an array of crimes as a direct result. Three firearms were also located and taken off the street.

People provided information on a number of unsolved serious crimes, including the murder of Colleen Adams, Rhianna Barreau, and grandmother Kathleen Durdin, as well as the disappearance and presumed murder of Michael Modesti and Susan Goodwin.

During September our weekly crime segment on 9 News Adelaide profiled three of SA’s most wanted men. Stuart Pearce remains a suspect in the murder of his wife and three of his children at Parafield Gardens in 1991 and hasn’t been seen since the victims’ bodies were found in the burnt-out home. Jonathon Simmons is still on the run and suspected of committing deception offences worth more than $50,000, while Glen Rajkovic is wanted for manufacturing and possessing illegal drugs and breaching bail.

We also profiled the unsolved shooting murder of Bora Altintas at Brompton in 1998, and called for help to identify a man caught on CCTV at a Brooklyn Park laundromat, where he committed a sexually assault.
