I WANT DAD

19jun05
THE heartbroken teenage daughter of missing former Gypsy Jokers bikies boss Steve Williams wants her dad to return home for his birthday this week.

Blayze Williams, 13, said yesterday she did not know where he was but did not want to face the prospect that she may never see him again.

Her only wish was that he be with the family for his 39th birthday on Wednesday.

"We need him back," she said at her mother's northern suburbs home yesterday. "We want him back for his birthday.

"I was supposed to stay over at his place (in the city) that night to give him his presents.









"It would be mine and his birthday wish that we could spend it together again."

Mr Williams, 38, has not been seen since Tuesday when his boss dropped him at the Gepps Cross Hotel at 2.30pm. His white Ford Falcon was later found abandoned in the hotel car park.

It is unknown why the car was parked at the hotel or how it came to be there.

Mr Williams has not been answering his mobile phone or made contact with relatives, which has been described as out of character.

He recently criticised the SA Police anti-bikie taskforce Avatar following the clash between the Hells Angels and Rebels bikie clubs – in which shots were fired – at an Adelaide Dance Music Awards night.

Blayze last saw her dad on Monday after spending the Queen's Birthday long weekend with him "hanging out", watching movies and taking "a few drives".

He was due to pick up his girlfriend, Alena Skipper, and then deliver a laptop computer to Blayze on Tuesday. He never turned up.

Blayze said his disappearance had been particularly hard to deal with because she spoke to him every day.

"I'm sort of in shock," she said while being comforted by her mother, Kim Asling. "It still doesn't feel like it's happened. I still think I'm going to wake up but I'm not.

"Even if anyone sees him, can they just report it? Even if they make it anonymous, it might help."

Blayze and Ms Asling, Mr Williams' former partner, were interviewed by detectives yesterday.

"People might just think `another biker' but they don't associate him as a family man – and he was a good family man," Ms Asling said.

"He was a good man and a good dad."

Police say that at this stage the inquiry is being dealt with by Holden Hill CIB as a missing persons investigation.

"Given his history police are clearly concerned for his welfare and safety," Chief Inspector Peter Graham said.

"But in the absence of any information to the contrary, it is being treated as a missing persons inquiry.

"Holden Hill CIB, who are conducting the investigation, have liaised with the Avatar taskforce. Avatar have been consulted because of their knowledge of Mr Williams' association with motorcycle gangs."

Mr Williams' white Ford Falcon remains at the Holden Hill police station compound. The lock on the boot appears to have been forced open. A sign on the car says: "Do not touch for forensic examination." A police spokesman said the vehicle would be forensically tested tomorrow.

Blayze said her father's disappearance was out of character.

"He always called to say he couldn't make it, he can't come out," she said.

"He is the best. We always did stuff together and he loves it when I come over."

Blayze, a keen horse rider, said she had been spending more time with Mr Williams' favourite horse, Homer, named after his favourite TV character in the TV show, The Simpsons.

"When dad would come to (horse) shows he always cuddled him and would give him a kiss," she said. "They had a bond."

Staff at the Gepps Cross Hotel yesterday declined to comment on Mr Williams' disappearance, citing "hotel policy".

At Mr Williams' former bikie club HQ at Wingfield, a club member asked a Sunday Mail reporter to leave.

Mr Williams is 185cm tall, about 100kg and of muscular build with long brown hair, normally pulled back into a ponytail.

He has a light brown moustache and goatee beard with numerous tattoos on his upper body and upper arms.
