Eve Stratford, Lynne Weedon and Lynda Farrow// Serial Killer?
In the spring of 1975, a 21 year old model and playboy promotional bunny was viciously murdered in her London flat. Six months later a 16-year-old school girl was raped and murdered after a night out with friends. Four years would go by before another young woman was brutally attacked and murdered in her own home, in 1979. In 2006 DNA would definitively link two of these murders. Was a serial killer responsible for all three?

Retrospect: The Newcastle beach murders// Alex Rees and Ray Hill
On a warm summer's night in January 1970, two lovers were brutally killed as they parked at a beach in Newcastle, Australia. At the time police came up with two motives for the murders. Was this crime committed by a sexual deviant, prowling the beach that night for a likely victim? Or was it personal, and a crime born of jealousy and resentment? The case remains unsolved and in the years that followed, there were no similar crimes that pointed to a serial killer. The murders of Alex Rees and Raymond Hill are however reminiscent of an American murderer who had been wreaking havoc in California, in the 2 years prior to 1970. Could Australia have potentially had its own copycat Zodiac killer?
