The Headless Gunman ----

Hiding The Face of The Port Arthur Gunman ---------------------------------- Email: editor@shootersnews.addr.com

Several months after the massacre in August 1996 just at the time Tasmanian Police were having difficulties getting Martin Bryant to change his plea to guilty ( after pleading not guilty for months ) Ray Martin's A CURRENT AFFAIR TV program showed the Australian public a video by American tourist James BALASKO that had miraculously appeared showing the Port Arthur gunman outside in the car park at the Volvo. While the video is genuine an analysis of segments of it towards the end reveals that just as the gunman turns to face Balasko's camera showing the gunman's face the head of the gunman disappears having been clearly fuzzed out when the remainder him is quite clear. A frame from that segment is left. The dazzling gold hair also has disappeared - compare with earlier frame from the video below.

This fact is clear evidence someone didn't want the gunman's face seen and the reason is because it wasn't that of Martin Bryant.

What they wanted the public to see was the blond haired man however shootersnews has proven on other webpages on this site that hair - the length and colour - didn't match that of Martin Bryant.

The motives of the Balakso's in this need scrutiny because footage like was taken could have been sold by them for millions of dollars to the world media in April 1996 after the massacre but never saw the light of day until it was necessary to sell the incident to the Australian public and convince a confused Bryant whose memory had been tampered with he had been the man. Associated also with these points this video could not have been released just after the massacre because it would have taken some time to tamper wirh frames in this video as we have shown on this webpage.

Also there seems to be something strange looking about the dark jacket in the frame above that seem to indicate tampering with its image too.

Note how prominent the gold head of hair is only moments before the gunman turns to face Balasko's camera.
