Current Taskforce Southern to investigate multiple murders & 201 possible related drug overdose deaths - *Rewards

[Cole Dammett]

UPDATE: Rewards totalling $600,000 will be offered for information that leads to the conviction of those responsible for the deaths of three Adelaide men linked to the southern suburbs drug scene.

A reward is also being offered for information leading to the recovery of the bodies of Robert Atkins's and Jeff Mundy, who were both last seen in late 2020.

The body of the third man who SA Police believe was murdered — Trevor King — was found at West Lakes in January 2020, in what detectives now believe was a staged drug overdose.

They will also review the 201 drug overdose deaths that have occurred since July 2019, to make sure they are not related. - KURVE

They’re looking for a man from the southern suburbs of Adelaide who was a victim of a drug group due to unpaid debts. There were 3 definite murders linked to the group and his body is still missing.
