Episode 45 | AUSTRALIA'S TWISTED HITCHHI...

Peter von Gomm
About this episode

In this podcast we'll follow the trail of the disturbed Australian serial killer Ivan Milat, from his troubled youth to his ultimate death in prison. Known as the Backpacker Murderer, he preyed on hitchhikers in the Belangalo State Forest region of New South Wales between 1989 and 1993 where he assaulted, imprisoned, robbed and murdered AT LEAST two men and five women. He was one evil dude. Listen on for a terrifying True Crime tale. ★Enjoy!

Newspapers around the world were in non-stop sputter detailing the discovery of bodies from a suspected new serial killer that Hell had spat up. In Birmingham, England air-conditioner engineer, Paul Onions was glued to a newspaper. The headline read: ‘the forest of death’.  It detailed some bodies discovered in faraway Australia between 1991 and 1993. The victims all seemed to be hitchhikers who were either shot or stabbed. So far six bodies, in various states of decay had been found. While the details of the murder themselves were sketchy, the outline the police mentioned the killer might be using sounded strangely familiar to a close encounter he had had while in Australia just four years before.
