It's a summer's night in January 1996, and 18 year old Sarah Spiers is enjoying a night on the town with her friends in the popular Western Australia city of Claremont. Deciding to call it a night, Sarah bids her friends farewell and leaves them to catch a taxi home. She is never seen alive again.
A few months later, 23 year old Jane Rimmer is out in Claremont with friends, when she decides to stay behind when they leave. Her naked body is found dumped in bushland months later. Not long after this, 27 year old Ciara Glennon is also enjoying a night out with friends when she too disappears when she decides to make her own way home. Her battered and bruised, half naked body was found a few weeks later.
Claremont had a serial killer on its hands and the community and police are left reeling. Who was he? Where was he? And would he strike again?
Join Belinda over a cup of joe or two as she discusses this harrowing case, where in the fight for her life, Ciara managed to grab a piece of her killer that would eventually bring him undone.
