The Brotherhood

Despite Brian Alexander's body never being found, it is widely believed that his murder is seen as depicted. Both Neddy Smith and Roger Rogerson implied that the other was responsible for Alexander's murder. Smith wrote in his '95 novel Catch and Kill Your Own, that, "he heard a story that he had been driven to the Darling Street wharf and, hands cuffed behind his back, was thrown from a launch with an old gas stove tied around his body. [Alexander] was apparently still alive and crying when he went in the water." Smith then stated, "But I had no part in it. That was something I wouldn't wish even on someone like Brian Alexander." Rogerson contradicted this claim in a 2009 live blog for The Daily Telegraph, stating that Ned bragged about murdering Alexander, and stated during the live interview that he had an alibi for the day Brian Alexander disappeared.
