They did Az, but I guess it would be hard to pin point an exact spot after so many years. I hope for the family they keep searching.

What a tangled web, hit men, drug syndicate boss etc.

New South Wales police reinvestigating the 36-year-old murder of Griffith anti-drugs campaigner Donald Mackay have been told two hit men dumped the body in a well at a property near Hay on their way back to Melbourne.

Police have been able to establish historical links between key figures of the Griffith mafia – alleged to have organised the hit – and the property now at the centre of the latest investigation.

The theory, believed to be supported by fresh information from an inside source, suggests Mackay was shot in the car park of the Griffith Hotel, bundled into the boot of a car and driven to a Hay property 150 kilometres away before the killers drove to Echuca and on to Melbourne.

Mafia insider, Gianfranco Tizzoni, gave evidence that he paid Melbourne hit man James Frederick Bazley $10,000 to carry out the murder.

He said he acted as a middle man for notorious crime figure Bob Trimbole who had agreed to organise the contract killing on behalf of Griffith crime figures.

Trimbole and Tizzoni were once in business together, repairing pinball machines in the Griffith and Hay districts.

I understand the tip off was that his body had been dumped in a well on the property they are now searching. haven't seen the evening news yet, I'll let you know if there are any updates.

It sounds strange that anyone who knew something would talk, even after all this time.

Yeah but they said they're not out there for no reason, they wouldn't go out there for nothing

They got a tip off a year ago, then last month they got another one, more credible, apparently. There is a reward, so not too strange

If anyone talked to get a reward its unlikely they will get to spend it

I think by now it's more than likely the guilty parties are already dead, so it may not be such a risk after all. Tony Lewendowski finally admitted to helping stitch up the Mickleburg brothers for the Perth Mint swindle years after the event - once he knew Don Hancock was dead.

And just to think, allll this could have been avoided if cannabis was legalised years ago.

Well, not the Perth Mint swindle obviously. :8}
