Book Synopsis Sins of the Brother by : Mark Whittaker
Download or read book Sins of the Brother written by Mark Whittaker and published by Pan Australia. This book was released on 2001 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the Beaumont children and the Azaria Chamberlain cases before it, the backpacker murder case in Belanglo State Forest has entered Australian criminal folklore. Seven young people, most of them foreigners backpacking around Australia, brutally murdered, their remains uncovered in 1992 and 1993. It would take scores of police over three years, countless hours of forensic investigation, thousands of false leads and a few precious clues to charge and convict Ivan Milat for their horrific deaths."Sins of the Brother" is the definitive work on Ivan Milat, his family and the murders. Almost four years in the making, informed by exclusive interviews with members of the Milat family, key police investigators and Crown lawyers, this book reveals a family culture so bizarre it would lead inexorably to murder. It also scrutinises the police investigation-its remarkable success and failures, the dramatic turning point and the backbiting and bitterness that followed Milat's arrest.Thought-provoking, totally unsalacious, an exploration of the darker side of Australian life as a whole, "Sins of the Brother" is a detailed and gripping read-a psychological thriller come to life.
Download or read book Milat written by Clive Small and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true insider's story of the Backpacker Murders from the detective who led the team that arrested Ivan Milat. Milat - the serial killer who preyed on young hitchhikers. The backpackers - the innocent victims of a brutal murderer. Belanglo - a place that became synonymous with pure evil. It was the biggest and most complex manhunt in Australian history, an investigation that gripped a nation. Behind the many false leads and dead ends, precious clues emerged that pointed to one man. This is the story of how Ivan Milat was caught. Clive Small takes us inside the operation he led as his team painstakingly pieced together the evidence that put Milat behind bars. But questions remain. Did he act alone? Were there other victims? How much did his family know? And what of his great-nephew, who brutally killed a young man in 2010? Chilling, forensic, compassionate - this is the definitive story that could only be told by someone at the centre of the police operation. It is also a powerful argument for the investigation of more than a hundred unsolved murders.
Book Synopsis The Curse of the Turtle by : Suzanne Buchanan
Download or read book The Curse of the Turtle written by Suzanne Buchanan and published by WildBlue Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Koh Tao--a small island in the Gulf of Thailand, surrounded by pristine beaches, swathed in sunshine, and a mecca for tourists, divers and backpackers. But "Turtle Island" has its dark side. In 2014, Koh Tao was the site of the brutal double murders of two British backpackers, but theirs weren't the only suspicious backpacker deaths. My name is Suzanne Buchanan. I am the former owner and editor of the Samui Times, a news publication on Koh Samui, and covered the stories of the so-called "backpacker murders" and other suspicious deaths. Although I am a British citizen, because of my investigation and stories, as well as my support for the two Burmese migrant workers sentenced to death for the murders, I had to flee Thailand for my own safety. There is currently an active warrant for my arrest should I return to Thailand, which had been my home for more than twenty years, and I continue to receive death threats. In "THE CURSE OF THE TURTLE" readers can make up their own minds on who is responsible for the murders that so devastated the victims' families. Were the Burmese migrant workers responsible? Or were the powerful, tribal families who run Koh Tao involved? And if so, were they aided by corrupt law enforcement?
Book Synopsis The Milat Letters by : Alistair Shipsey
Download or read book The Milat Letters written by Alistair Shipsey and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1990s Australia, was rocked with the discoveries of several bodies of backpackers in the Belanglo State Forest in New South Wales. After a long search for the killer or killers Ivan Milat was arrested, accused and following trial incarcerated for the murders. Following an escape attempt, Milat was transferred to the maximum security prison Goulburn and confined in solitary confinement.Alistair Shipsey, a nephew of Milat's, struck up a correspondence with his uncle following his confinement in Goulburn and this book, The Milat Letters contains pages from that correspondence over the years. The letters cover Milat's numerous tries for appeal, his self-mutilation to achieve an appeal and his questioning of the evidence, in particular the DNA at the crime scenes which made the involvement of accomplices imperative and yet no evidence for those accomplices has been found.The book is not an appeal against injustice, more it is a look into the thoughts of a man accused of and incarcerated for being a serial killer.

Download or read book Backpacker Murderer: Ivan Milat written by Pamela Lillian Valemont and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the bodies of seven young people aged 19 to 22 were discovered partly buried in the Belanglo State Forest, 15 kilometres (9.3 miles) south west of the New South Wales town of Berrima, it engendered fear among citizens and foreigners alike. Five of the victims were international backpackers visiting Australia (three German, two British), and two were Australian travellers from Melbourne. A man local to the area, Ivan Milat, was convicted of the murders and is serving seven consecutive life sentences plus 18 years, which effectively guarantees he will never be released back into the community. His great nephew, Matthew Milat, who idolized his great uncle, at the age of 17 murdered his school mate of the same age in the same forest by monstrously beheading him, and is serving 43 years behind bars, the longest sentence ever handed down to a juvenile in Australia. This is the forensic numerological criminal profile of the Milats, two of the worst killers Australia has ever seen.

Book Synopsis Missing, Presumed Dead by : Mark Tedeschi
Download or read book Missing, Presumed Dead written by Mark Tedeschi and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the double murder case that gripped Australia, and former Crown Prosecutor Mark Tedeschi QC is finally able to share all the shocking details. Dorothy Davis and Kerry Whelan were both happy, healthy, affluent, middle-class women from conservative, loving families. Such women are hardly ever among the ranks of the missing. They were not hitchhikers, or associates of drug dealers, or unhappy with their family relationships, or suffering from mental health issues. Dorothy Davis and Kerry Whelan came from different parts of Sydney, mixed in quite different circles, and led completely different lives. They had never met each other, and if they had, they would have had little in common. In fact, Dorothy Davis and Kerry Whelan had one thing in common – they both knew Bruce Allan Burrell. The disappearance without trace of these two women caused massive police investigations and resulted in sensational trials that gripped the nation of Australia. This book explores the intricacies of those investigations and delves into the twisted, tortuous processes of the legal proceedings, while exploring the dark recesses of the mind of Bruce Burrell. 'Gripping writing, from an expert on the inside of some of the state's worst murders and disappearances.' Peter FitzSimons

But Mia wanted to extend her visa and in order to do that needed to find 88 days of work on a farm – a requirement that would lead to catastrophic events. Four short days after Mia moved to a hostel in Queensland to take a job on a sugarcane farm, she was brutally killed. Faced with every parent’s worst nightmare, Rosie travelled to Australia to retrieve Mia’s body. From the moment she landed, however, she started to hear stories about the terrible treatment of young workers like Mia – stories of exploitation, sexual harassment, rape. Mia was Rosie’s only child and she brought her up as a single parent. Her death was traumatic and life-changing. In Rosie’s memoir, she describes movingly how she has found the strength to come to terms with devastating loss, drawing on inspiration from her daughter’s short life. She also explains how she has become the driving force behind an international campaign to press for change to the 88 days system. Part exposé of the dangers facing backpackers in Australia, part call to arms, ultimately Far from Home is an inspiring and heartfelt story of a mother’s love for her daughter and her fight to protect others from suffering a similar tragedy.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER "Destined to become an adventure classic." —Anchorage Daily News Hailed as "gripping" (New York Times) and "beautiful" (Washington Post), The Adventurer's Son is Roman Dial’s extraordinary and widely acclaimed account of his two-year quest to unravel the mystery of his son’s disappearance in the jungles of Costa Rica. In the predawn hours of July 10, 2014, the twenty-seven-year-old son of preeminent Alaskan scientist and National Geographic Explorer Roman Dial, walked alone into Corcovado National Park, an untracked rainforest along Costa Rica’s remote Pacific Coast that shelters miners, poachers, and drug smugglers. He carried a light backpack and machete. Before he left, Cody Roman Dial emailed his father: “I am not sure how long it will take me, but I’m planning on doing 4 days in the jungle and a day to walk out. I’ll be bounded by a trail to the west and the coast everywhere else, so it should be difficult to get lost forever.” They were the last words Dial received from his son. As soon as he realized Cody Roman’s return date had passed, Dial set off for Costa Rica. As he trekked through the dense jungle, interviewing locals and searching for clues—the authorities suspected murder—the desperate father was forced to confront the deepest questions about himself and his own role in the events. Roman had raised his son to be fearless, to be at home in earth’s wildest places, travelling together through rugged Alaska to remote Borneo and Bhutan. Was he responsible for his son’s fate? Or, as he hoped, was Cody Roman safe and using his wilderness skills on a solo adventure from which he would emerge at any moment? Part detective story set in the most beautiful yet dangerous reaches of the planet, The Adventurer’s Son emerges as a far deeper tale of discovery—a journey to understand the truth about those we love the most. The Adventurer’s Son includes fifty black-and-white photographs.
Download or read book River of Blood written by Amanda Howard and published by Dissertation.com. This book was released on 2004-08-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular culture would have us believe that serial killers are an obvious threat to the public, a deformed creature that snarls, drools and hides in the shadows. In reality the serial killer is less like the maniacally out-of-control character of Mr Hyde and more like the subdued Dr Jekyll, a human being with a family, a job, and ambitions. River of Blood exposes the ordinariness of the serial killer, showing how the killer blends into society, successfully avoiding the stereotype assigned to the genre.
