Victorian police want information
about this woman, who was last seen in
Mosman Park in 1969 and known as Jean
Climas (or Shaw or Batten).
|
Police based in Bendigo, Victoria, are trying to
locate a woman who vanished in Mosman Park 34 years
ago soon after moving to WA.
She was known as Jean Climas, or Shaw or
possibly Batten, and was 20 in 1969.
Det. Brendon Murphy, of Bendigo CIB, called the
POST last week and said the woman's family recently
asked for her disappearance to be
reinvestigated.
He said she left her partner and two children
aged 18 months and six months at Spring Gulley,
Bendigo, to move to WA with another man in April
1969.
They lived in a five-storey block of flats -
possibly in Murray Avenue - about 15 minutes walk
from Victoria Street station.
She was working in a milk bar or delicatessen
close to the flat.
Her partner in WA worked for Renaware pots and
pans for a few months until he left and went
north.
Det. Murphy said: "If we can find where she
worked, or somebody who knew her, we can try to
fill in the gap of 34 years."
He said her sister and her children, now in
their 30s, had been worried for years about what
happened to her.
They described her as a quiet, shy woman,
unlikely to go to hotels or nightclubs.
Det. Murphy is on 03 5440 2540
He said the missing woman was 154cm tall with
long, curly blonde hair and medium build.
