- Q4909601 abstract "William Charles Jenkings (1915–1996) was an Australian writer, newspaper reporter and well known Bondi Beach identity.Jenkings was a news and crime reporter for the Sydney newspaper The Daily Mirror, joining the paper in 1944. The Daily Mirror was then owned by Ezra Norton and was later owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Ltd. Jenkings worked as reporter for the Daily Mirror until his retirement in 1991 - a remarkable career that spanned 47 years. He covered high-profile cases during the 1950s and 1960s, including the Graeme Thorne kidnapping, the Bogle-Chandler case, and the Wanda Beach murders. One of his sources was Detective Ray "Gunner" Kelly, who benefited from the publicity, becoming one of Australia's best-known policemen.Jenkings published two books. Crime Reporter was a pulp-paperback about some of his highest-profile reporting cases. As Crime Goes By.., his life story, which was mostly ghost-written for him just after he retired, became a best-seller. The book featured interesting accounts of the lives of many famous Sydney criminals such as Kate Leigh, Tilly Devine, John 'Chow' Hayes, William 'Joey' Hollebone, Nellie Cameron, "Pretty" Dulcie Markham, Robert "Pretty Boy" Walker, Richard "Dick" Reilly, "Greyhound" Charlie Bourke, Stewart John Regan and Darcy Dugan. In it he suggested that he knew the solutions to the Bogle-Chandler and Wanda Beach cases, although the suspect he named for the latter commenced legal action against Jenkings for the allegation. This litigation was not finalized, and it ceased with Jenkings' death.Jenkings was also unabashed at his support for several of the men he'd met in his working life. He had known Rupert Murdoch when Murdoch ran the Daily Mirror, and Jenkings insisted that he was a great boss. He also refused to believe allegations about the involvement of Sydney policemen Ray "Gunner" Kelly, Fred Krahe and Frank Farrell in corrupt activities, saying that he had known them personally.Bill Jenkings married Noreen Cecilia Simpson at St.Anne's Catholic Church, Bondi, New South Wales, on 30 March 1940. He lived with his family for most of his life in Bondi Beach, New South Wales. Gifted with a sharp mind, Jenkings made and maintained legendary contacts both in the underworld and the police force. He was regarded as the foremost crime reporter in Sydney for over 50 years.He was known to many people as "Bondi" Bill Jenkings, and was a Life member of the Bondi Surf Lifesaving Club.Bill Jenkings died on 12 May 1996. He was later cremated at the Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park at Botany.He was survived by his wife and four children.".
