Dying on Easey Street The 1977 murders of Suzanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett in Collingwood, Melbourne have gone unsolved to the present day. Billy ‘The Texan’ Longley One of few to survive the Melbourne dock wars that inflicted more casualties than the Eureka Rebellion — around 40 men dead and many more wounded during a decade that spawned the now-notorious saying, "We catch and kill our own." Girls who like bad boys Sylvia Radev, Roberta Williams, Judy Moran ... women married to the mob. Still looking for the Beaumont Children In 2017 Jim and Nancy Beaumont turned 91 and 89. For more than 50 years they have woken every day to face the nightmare that their three children vanished from a crowded beach on Australia Day, 1966.
