A LATE NIGHT DRINK

Arthur King’s distrust of the New South Wales police never wavered. Victoria Street had almost cost him his life and he’d been left in no doubt by his abductors that police in Kings Cross had a special relationship with the criminals behind his kidnap. Following Juanita’s disappearance, the police once again wanted to talk to him. Privately, police had always doubted Arthur’s account of his disappearance. Now, the Special Crime Squad was keen to check his story again. Two days before Frank Theeman was interviewed, Norm Maroney accompanied by Detective Sergeant Ray Southwell went to Arthur’s Balmain house. Arthur invited them in. They wanted to know if he’d seen Juanita. Arthur, incredulous at the question, said no. They then wanted to know if the interview he had given in 1973 about his disappearance was correct. Arthur had wanted to hear reassurance about the line that the police were following in the Nielsen investigation before revealing the true story. Failing to hear it, he said it was. He may have expected too much; nonetheless the gap between him and the police was widening.

After Karl Arkins was sidelined, Norm Maroney wanted to talk to Jim Anderson. He tried to arrange to meet Jim at the Carousel on 2 September 1975, but Jim said he did not have time to be interviewed. Arrangements were made for him to be interviewed at the CIB. Jim still demurred. Instead, he wrote a letter to the CIB, his concern being to back up Eddie Trigg’s story. The police called to pick up the letter from the Carousel on 26 September.
