Wanted: Information on the Keren Ellen Rowland murder

John Moulis, friend and I sifted through “Canberra News” archives through the months of March and May. We were unable to find the newspaper article you referred to.

There is a lot of information out there for those willing to look for it.

Friend and I are still looking for confirmation as to the exact spot she was located at. We have a picture which shows this, but it is not yet specific enough.

Peace,

JC.

Thumper, stop winding up people ffs..

BTW, got any new “Elvis is still alive” goss?

I was wondering if you could, point us in the direction of this secondary source?

From memory she was driving convoy behind her sister in a mini on the way to a party in Deakin on a Friday night. Inexplicably she turned around and back headed up Kings Ave and was never seen alive again. Her car was found abandoned on Parkes was and her body, well you already know that bit. It was theorised she ran out of petrol and hitched a ride with the wrong dude.

I hope the AFP will reopen this cold case!

You can apply to the National Archives for a copy of the police file, they hold all the AFP files that old. It doesn’t cost much, about $40 from memory. They will often edit out some stuff, but generally will give you the bulk of the file.

What do they edit out and why the hefty fee??

tateb80- thanks, already did this. We contacted her and she pointed us in the direction of the National Library of Australia.

I-filed: Decided to investigate this case more after hearing its connection to the Australian Air Disaster Memorial. Along the way we became more interested and focused on the case itself, in regards to finding out facts/suspects/time line/anything regarding this case.

Thumper: Is this your report or did you hear it from a secondary source? Do we know where her body was dumped exactly?

John Moulis: Thanks, this is the sort of information we are after. The National Library of Australia has catalogues of this tabloid and we will check it out this weekend.

Out of interest my friend and I visited her grave today, in Woden Cemetery. Looked to be untouched.

Keep the info coming,

JC

I can remember as a teenager reading the story about the discovery of Keren’s body on the front page of the Canberra News, an afternoon tabloid published by The Canberra Times 1969-1974. The story had the banner headline MY KEREN! above a large photo of her father crying. If you look up the archives of the Canberra News you will probably find it.

Do you mind my asking why you’re questing after the info? Film? Book? Family?
