I was only 6:yrs old in 1978 myself but for All of the young females that disappeared and were NEVER beard from AGAIN in the Newcastle NSW area I'm suspecting there must of been TWO because ONE would of had to be the mote dominant partner in the crimes to have total control over every aspect of what was going on and if they are still both ALIVE but not talking Or associating with each other anymore WELL the cases could be cracked if you ONLY could know who the OFFENDER(S) are Or were
Cops in the 70's really were the masters of laziness. How could you not put 2 and 2 together when two young women go missing in the same area within 2 weeks? I wonder if the kindnapper went on to get Gordana years later? My heart breaks for the families who just want their girls back to give them the dignity and care they deserve.
Hi David hope you are well. I am 64 and have lived in the hunter valley area not newcastle or the lake all my life. I have watched lots of your videos as your subject matter interests me greatly. I have a theory as to what may have happened to Amanda Robinson but wouldn,t feel comfortable putting it up here. Could I write you a letter and send it to you? I see on the news today Mr mcorriston is going to trial for his 1980 offences that you have talked about previously. Will be very interesting to see what transpires with this case. Also with regards to Ivan Milat the bodies he hid in the Belangalo state forrest some were discovered by a member of the public who went there looking for them because he thought that he could find them had a preminition or something but they were fairly well hidden I think but not buried underground. Might never have been found if it wasn,t for that person. I look forward to your reply and more of your very informative videos. Please stay safe. Regards Noel.
@noelbush6284 Hi Noel, I am always happy to hear any new theories on the disappearances. You can send a letter to me at: PO Box 2338 Dangar NSW 2309 Alternatively, you could send me a direct message at Facebook Messenger by this link: m.me/43949861757 or you can go to my Facebook page (facebook.com/davidaelliott) and send a direct message from there. I’m also glad to hear that my videos are of interest to you. Thanks, David.
@@davidaelliott G,day david hope you are well. Thanks for the reply it is appreciated. I will post you a letter in the near future. Stay safe. Regards Noel Bush.
I'm pleased to hear that your class loved my video and I appreciate you letting me know. I made it about 6 years ago and I did find it interesting researching the history of the policy then making the video. It does seem to be one of my more popular videos. Thank you!!!
@charles-z7i Perhaps we could meet up for a chat sometime. If you are interested you can send a message to me through Facebook Messenger with this link: m.me/43949861757 Alternatively you could go to my Facebook page (facebook.com/davidaelliott) and send me a message from there.
from the Wollongong girls to trudy adams to the girls from the hunter and many more...i have a very strong feeling they are all connected somehow. bless the victims and all their families. shame on the police at the time. well most of them.
After all the time that has passed it's hard to know if they are connected or not but I suspect at least some would be connected. Unfortunately, there are just too many possibilities but hopefully they will be eventually solved. Yes, I think at least some of the police were trying their best but unfortunately under-resourcing led to commonly taking short cuts as well as neglecting to keep proper records, follow up investigations or dismissing missing teenagers as runaways and not even creating a file.
obviously a serial killer was at work here...i have always had a hunch that all the young girls/women who disappeared throughout the 1970s and 80s were all linked. not just in the hunter region but all over nsw/qld. all young women close to age. form trudy adams to the girls from woollongong. i also have a hunch this has all been covered up by higher powers....who knows. bless them all and their families. peace.
My understanding is there was a lot going on at the time and he may have had little if any sleep in the previous 24 hours and fell asleep. But in any case, I believe he never forgave himself.
I grew up in windale at the time Leanne & Robyn went missing I was 8 years old. P.s I remember seeing Ivan merlat at the golden eagle 🦅 in 1978 &1979 witch is now Gateshead tavern now. Evening when windale police boy's club was getting built & I no wear the bodies of Leeanne & Robyn are
8 years old is a bit young to be at the pub mate I hope mummy or daddy was with you. And did Ivan introduce himself to you all those years ago at the golden eagle and perhaps give you an autographed picture of himself and told you to keep it because he was going to be famous? You need to stop taking what you taking there boy it giving you silly thoughts.
I hope Robyn Hickie’s case can finally be solved after all those years. Along with Amanda Robinson. I hope for this year that there can be a breakthrough about their disappearance. But it’s unlikely but it’s still possible. Great video 👍.
I have been gathering some information on Cribb and Munday. So, I will make a video about them. No promises but I'll probably do this early next year as I have a few other videos I'm planning to do over the next few months.
David on Friday 27th July 1979 5.30pm on Shellharbour road in Warilla south of Wollongong..Kay Dougherty & Toni Cavanagh were last seen at the bus stop directly across from Warilla Grove shopping centre..the girls were heading to Wollongong to a dance..they have never been seen again..David would you please cover their case for Kay & Tonis family..interesting the dates are close to your Newcastle girls..thankyou David🌻
I have double checked and the reports I looked at all say she was last seen at the bus stop, including the NSW Police website. Specifically, "Newcastle Morning Herald" reports from April 1979 say that she left home about 7:15pm and that her parents saw her at the bus stop across the road at approximately 7:30pm.
Was actually thinking about your channel the other day .thanks for the update .i can not believe it's been 12 months since the last one .wow time flys!
David 2 young ladies from the illawarra Tony Cavanagh & Kay Dougherty went missing July 29 1979..The girls were last seen The Friday evening waiting at bus stop on Shellharbour road across from Warilla Grove shopping centre..friends of the girls said they were heading to a dance in Wollongong..please if anyone knows anything regarding Kay & Tonys disappearance please contact Police..you can remain anonymous.
I tend to agree with you. I made this video about 5 years ago and was experimenting with that style of video at the time. My videos are not as "snarky" and "condescending" now.
Black people don't have paper trails usually. So that's not really our thing. Plus my situation is mostly outside of America I don't have much mixing from white Americans so most of my mixing and different countries have to do with the countries in Africa.
Okay if you're saying it's got to be 20% like none of my DNA results are above 20%. And stay that way. Like none of them. Nigerian on ancestry DNA for example was above 20% at one point. So it's even been below 5%. Mali's stayed at like 10:11 13%. It's always been that percentage. Now 23andMe has hat Nigeria consistent over 20%. Everything else is not over 20% that I know of maybe East Africa? Night in Nigeria is over 30% on my heritage. Everything else again is under 20% again. So basically you're telling me I can't trust anything at this point. LMAO cuz my Nigerian on ancestry DNA went down to 1%
My ancestry it is different on three different companies. One says I'm about 92% subsaharan african one says I'm 89% sub-Saharan African the other says I'm 83% subsaharan african all are different. Nigerians the major results.
From this you may be only able to say most of your ancestry is sub-Saharan African. Part of the problem is that the accuracy of the results depends on how much genetic data there is from people living in each country. The more there is than the more accurate the results will be. Unfortunately, most of the data is European based with not as much data from Africa. Other problems are there can be misidentification with nearby countries due to similar DNA and the companies use different algorithms and data to work out the results. It is improving as the amount of data increases and I have noticed with updates the results seem to get closer to what my paper trail tells me. However, the percentages are highly variable between the 4 different companies I'm with. For example, as far as I'm aware all my ancestry was from the United Kingdom apart from my great grandfather who was from Denmark. However, one says 100% of my ancestry is from the UK. Another has 42% Scandinavian, 51% UK but 7% Central Europe. The third includes 4.2% Finnish and 1.1% Middle Eastern. The closest one has UK 74%, Denmark 12% and Norway 4%. The odd result is the 1.1% Middle Eastern. Whilst I would find it interesting if true I assume it probably isn't given the small percentage and only one of the companies listing it. As the companies get more data and improve their algorithms I expect the results will improve but the percentages will probably never be totally accurate.
@@davidaelliott yea even that does work because it's two different ethnicities so 83% for.my heritage has 10.7% north africa. But extremely limited European results. And 23andme struggles with north African reference panel so originally the north African results weren't there but I was like 9% Europeans both ancestry DNA and 23andme seem to overslestimate my European heritage. A bit. And they focus on west Europeans which also my ancestry has a tendency for Russians and Scandinavian more than just Irish or English. Myherotage didn't give me any English though Gedmatch tool calculators eurogenes showed both tests both results so I ended up being 80% African. It's not really a debate of one ancestry being a little more here or there it's more the reference panels for north African. I think some of it may be due to Fulani heritage and just like east Africans one the tests they don't add the mixed ancestry that way and another way is because I'm Creole and have the small Filipino percentage that's carried by islenos people who also have north African and Spanish heritage if I don't have my north African result I'm 90% African or 89% at the very least ancestry DNA was 92% without any north African ancestry. But every other test shows north africa 23andme before their reference panels were small they didn't have any then with more research there's a small percentage. All other tests show 2-10.7% north African. Which is why I lean more the myheritage and gedmatch because myheritage results haven't changed 23andme keeps changing and so is ancestry DNA I just don't think I'm only 2% Russian and 2% Norwegian I think I'm English and Spanish as that's what 23andme and ancestry DNA show I feel they are better at detecting the European and native/asian populations while myheritage is good at Middle Eastern/north African heritage they're based off in Israel their focus is more in the middle east due to demand while 23andme and ancestry DNA focus more in Europe west and central Africa and native American populations. If I included both types of test I end up with gedmatch eurogenes results pretty much at 79-80% west central and eastern Africa 10.7% north African 8.9% European and 1% native American and .1% Filipino and .1% Indonesian. But none of my tests actually reflect all the ethnicities due to the reference panel issues
@@davidaelliott inconsistent for me and my DNA results is that I have at least 30 to 40 per cent Nigerian but that has even gone down sometimes ancestry DNA has really struggled. They have taken the Nigerian away put it back they really get confused.
@divestedkonservativekarame4269 I guess one of the problems with these DNA companies is they generally try to allocate ancestry geographically to particular countries or regions. But ethnicities that cover larger regions and intermarry less with others in the same geographical region would complicate this. Also, historically nomadic and displaced populations could confuse this further in trying to allocate a particular country. I also agree that the different DNA companies will have more accurate results for different regions based on where their primary focus is. For myself, I find the most accurate is Ancestry DNA but this is probably because all my ancestry appears to be from North Western Europe. The one that says I have 100% UK ancestry is Living DNA but their initial focus was on linking ancestry to counties in the UK which probably explains them not indicating my Danish ancestry.
What about percentages that are low confidence on one place but not on another? Like North Africa 41 on 23andMe it is only .65%. on my heritage is 10.7%. also one other thing all my European is specifically low confidence. Because I'm a black American though. Everyone always wants to push that I have European. But it always says one two three four percent. Each result is 1234 percent. While North Africa is 10.7%. specifically on my heritage on 23andMe they also keep changing. The European is more obvious it everything changes because those were his results they could actually give well Africa at once they couldn't give it because they couldn't specify where in Africa. Which is probably why they couldn't give me North Africa at one point to now it's just a very small percentage
That's why I just don't pay attention to the ancestry DNA results because their results are too wacky. Like they change everything has been a low confidence result Cameroon used to be low confidence that it was 40% the only one who wasn't low confidence was mali
My problem is this ancestry DNA went from 46% Nigerian then 1% Nigerian then back up to 38% Nigerian so that's why when you say don't trust a small results I'm like well that was my biggest result by the way
I am 2% Norwegian, but that may or may not mean ethnic Norwegian ancesters, but rather Celtic (Irish/Scottish/British) peoples who descend from slaves that Vikings took from their homelands.
Thanks for making this video, as there isn't very much about this online. This old interview (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6zb8yLammA0.html) shows a devided public, but at 2:28 the man sums up what was happening at the time; The policy was a result of concern over immigration (and added to over time), while the US was going through the Civil rights movement (1954 - 1968). I really can't blame 1930/1940's Australians from their concern about Asians, especially when Australia was attacked by the Japanese during WW2...
cmon newcastle/nsw/ afp police.....charge this bastard already....show you have the talent to do so......bring justice for these girls and their families and pets...all their loved ones.....once and for all finally.
If you have Colonial ancestry from Virginia or the Carolinas going back to the 1600's there is a good chance you may have low percentage diverse ancestry. In the early 1600's 75% of immigrants to colonial Virginia came as indentured servants that lived side by side with other's from other lands in addition to those English settlers who first settled on Barbado's in the early 1600's - the men oftentimes intermarried with Native women brought to the island in the slave trade. These families later settled in the Carolina's. So it's not wrong as you say. A person from the British Isles or mainland Europe would probably be a lot less admixed than say a European person of Colonial stock American ancestry.
It's the overt display of anger that is making it difficult for me to watch. You can make a video correcting random people's misconceptions without coming across as irate.
