- Juanita Nielsen, publisher of the independent paper
NOW and active campaigner against high-rise development in Kings
Cross, disappeared in July 1975. Her murderers were never
brought to justice. The investigation has been re-opened.
The circumstances of her disappearance remain unresolved but it is
commonly believed that she was murdered for her stand on the
environment and the rights of low-income residents.
