In 1981, drug dealer Warren Lanfranchi was shot dead by Sydney detective Roger Rogerson. As the official story went, Lanfranchi was supposed to have handed himself into Rogerson's custody, a deal brokered by his heroin supplier, and police informant, Arthur Neddy Smith. Instead, Lanfranchi produced a gun, and was justifiably shot down by Rogerson. This account was backed by Smith, and Rogerson's police colleagues, with Rogerson commended for his actions in shooting Lanfranchi. • Disputing the official narrative was Lanfranchi's girlfriend, Sallie-Ann Huckstepp, who claimed that her partner had left his gun at home that day. Huckstepp soon attracted attention for her accusations of institutionalised corruption in the New South Wales police force, which would later be largely confirmed by the Woodward Royal Commission in the 1990s. By that point however, Huckstepp was dead, murdered in a Sydney park. Her death remains unsolved, despite a reported confession by Neddy Smith while in prison. As a result, the Huckstepp homicide went down as one of many unsolved murders in the Sydney gangland war of the 1980s. • Roger Rogerson was later convicted of several crimes after he left the New South Wales police in 1986. At the same time, he gained a degree of fame as a minor celebrity, playing on his tough cop image for crowds. Then, in 2014, he was charged with the murder of another small-time dealer, Jamie Gao, who had allegedly been supplying information on the Chinese Triads to another former police officer, Glen McNamara. Rogerson, along with McNamara, were convicted of the murder, after both men claimed the other had pulled the trigger. • #UnsolvedMurder #PoliceCorruption #AustralianPolice
