How big a breakthrough was it in terms of making Ivan Milat the prime suspect? That little fragment that was there all the time, but no one. I had found it, as I keep saying, everything is already in the documents. Maureen and Ivan's brother Wally were divorced, but that didn't stop detectives from knocking on their door as part of the investigation into Ivan. I thought maybe it was a robbery or something. I didn't think it would be that horrendous and they were talking to me for about five hours and I think I said like I have a photo here, look it up, I'll give it to you, so that was the photo they wanted the photo to be taken in January of 1991, just 11 days later, Ivan would use this car to kidnap German backpacker Simone Schmid, all before murdering her. to those kids and it bothers me for the parents and it's just something, everything is horrible, I'm sorry, yeah, I would like to meet him, man, he was a good person and then he already had the right to do that to someone and what they would go through would have been horrible . mmm and you never glimpsed that monster no no the day this photo was taken Ivan offered Maureen some chilling advice it's just what he said when he came to visit you know if kids hitchhiked they shouldn't be tried there maybe be bags of rats in the way like I, you know, oh, I didn't, I guess I didn't even take it seriously, you know, I mean, go well, I hope you see, he taught you, you go pick them up, they go. from A to B and if they were indeed picked up by T, the police were closing in, but the investigation would ultimately depend on an eyewitness, the one who got away, to tell of the terror that everyone must have felt, as told by Paul Onion during 60 Minutes in his only and only interview was in January 1990 when he accepted the generous offer to take him.

This is where the journey begins and you meet your first Australian. Yes, that man was Ivan Milat as MLAT drove towards his extermination camp. Paul began to feel himself getting nervous. Roger. Maynard, who followed the case closely, says onion instinct saved his life that day he was driving down the road with Mel in Miletus on the side of the road apparently to get a cassette to put in his radio, which was his excuse. ready to get some Wonder cassettes this week to put on, put on some music, well, it seemed strange because there are actually cassettes.

Inbetweeners pulls out a revolver and then Onions sees a coil of rope and that really scares him as soon as I saw the rabbit. that's going to be a you know, it'll take him a little while, he'll do whatever he wants, so Onions jumps out of the car and realizes that if he's going to save his life, he has to escape and runs down the road zigzagging across Of the road. As MLAT chases him with his gun shooting onions, I thought that the next vehicle that comes there to fulfill the deal, I will stop it no matter what, but I will jump in front of them, yes, desperate, Paul throws himself in front of a people transporter driven by Joanne Berry you were about to scream, help me, he has a gun and that became very clear when you looked back as a car drove away, you saw the look on his face, well, like a stained life, it's a little strange the way he was looking, that's not the last impression or a stain and after that, of course, the lady.
Berry and Onions go to the local police station and report the incident, but surprisingly nothing happens, so a huge opportunity was missed, one of many missed opportunities. I suspect that if that opportunity had not been lost, what might that mean for the other lives lost? some lives would have been saved if MLAT had been arrested at that time two years later and back in the UK Paul Onion catches the news headlines and stops reporting on the terrible fate of the missing backpackers and points out to the Australian authorities his original police report. The investigators take him by plane. to Sydney to identify his attacker.
I looked through all the photos and that was the one that gave me the initial reaction. He unsettled me when he looked at me and then when I looked closer, that's the person I think I was referring to that day. It was Ivan Milat, police swooped on his home in Eagle-Vail, where they found a trove of evidence, gun parts from the murder weapon, duct tape, backpacks and the victims' sleeping bags. He was always in competition with the police and the authorities, and I would say. He thought they would never find out how critical the evidence found in Millat's house was.
There was a link between the people killed in Ivan Mullet and the crimes. That's a pretty big deal, especially if you have names of properties that had occurred that belonged to some raids. Subsequently, the police found more evidence in the homes of Melot's mother and his two brothers, Wally and Richard, who deny any involvement, but at trial the Mallets' own lawyer argued that the police had arrested the wrong member of the gang. family during this interview with Richard Colton. In 1996, Richard MLAT reiterated his innocence. Richard Maleic, give me your explanation please as to why Carolyn Clark, this is the woman who took ten bullets to the head, her sleeping bag is a sleeping bag, covers her mat and her tent were found in your garden, made Charlie say no, they're not rumors. all the evidence of her in Joanne Walters' sleeping bag, a girl 22 years younger than her was found in a closet in that same place, can you please explain to me, okay Alex, why aren't you worried?
I'm going to explain to you how she got into the closet, how were they? I can't be sure now, if you can't be sure, then is it reasonable for people like me and others to speculate that maybe you had something to do with it getting there? I don't know if he wants to do it. Trust the police for a moment. I'll trust you if you tell me. Yeah, I can't say what you'd accept. He seems a little suspicious. No, I do not accept that he looks at us even though the judge in his trial believes it.
The murderer had not acted alone Ivan Milat was the only one found guilty of the murders. The evidence was overwhelming, but his family, including her sister-in-law Caroline here with her husband William Mullet, continued to maintain his innocence. What would it take to convince you? your brother did it he would have to tell us he would have to use those words I did it and then I would believe him but in reality he told me I have not done this and I believe him with all my soul I believe him I believe that he did it. He is not innocent.
Why do you think so many mullets believe that Ivan Milat is innocent? I can't understand it, but even though they all stick together, they are a strong group, they are a strong family and they will stay together. together, no matter what came up, the man, the last confidence about him, but he would always have an answer, the

ing letters, he really thought he didn't, uh, ultimately, you know, you and the

killer

s, the last days of which he would not plead guilty. breathing, I certainly wouldn't confess to a murder, that's the golden prison number, that's a good address, yes, I must admit when they started arriving at my post office, the post on the staff made me raise my eyebrows when they saw the name on the back.
In 1996, Ivan Milat was sentenced to seven life sentences for the murder of seven backpackers from the confines of his prison cell. Malak chose author Roger Maynard as his pen pal, always protesting his innocence in his prodigious letters; does she talk about death at all in his letters? he talks a couple of times about death, that cancer, he says he's a real bastard, the way God keeps the faithful a little more faithful and Miletus is those thoughts about the end of life, of course, nothing matters once you're dead, you're mostly dead. "I soon forget him, although my relatives will remember him long after I die and then he will be done with it.
If I die tomorrow, I lose the chance to establish my innocence, so he is clearly taking his guilt to the grave before suffering from breast cancer." esophagus," Malak wrote. to Raja for eight years hoping to convince him that he had been set up, Malik would always say oh, he was planted, I was framed, but he would always have an answer, he would always have a reason or an answer to back up what he was saying, You know? and did you ever blame him no don't talk no no no no no once you know you have to accept that he was deceived I think he was so used to denying his involvement but he really thought he didn't do it in the end you I know, oh yeah, yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure he got into that kind of mood.
If Ivan Vélez's letters do not contain confessions or information about other murders, possible murders that he committed, what is their value? I think it probably offers insight into his mind more than anything that he can continue to deny it. I always had hope. I always hoped that he would let his guard down and say something that might incriminate him, but he never did. How would you describe the mind of Ivan Milat? I think the mind of a monster was definitely a man or the very evil side of him, a man who was amused by these deviant acts, if you will, and then it wasn't just straight up murders, there were a great element. of deviation towards them from his letters, did you have an idea if he was crazy?
No, no, I didn't know anything. I thought he was a very sane individual, other than that you know about his depraved activities, if you like. You know, I think he had a very clear mind. I think he knew what he was doing. He had a very clear understanding of the case. The case against him and how he could try to fight it. How could I try to prove his innocence. There was a desperate situation. He hoped that, in the face of his own death, the

serial

killer

would finally confess to all the lives he had taken, but even on his deathbed, mercy was beyond Ivan Milat, just like his former police enemy, John Leacock. , predicted that he wouldn't plead guilty on the spot and he certainly wouldn't confess to murder or manslaughter and you knew it all along, yeah, look, I think if you drove your car to jail, don't interview yourself.
I have done it and a small crime you could do it too. let's get on with it Ivan Milat, 74, has finally succumbed to cancer from all indications his death would have been painful perhaps some consolation for the families he destroyed when he began his series of senseless murders thirty years ago certainly does not seem to be so problems with John Ivan's ex-lover Maureen or his brother Boris, and his manner of death, you suffer from bile cancer, what do you think of that? They will be the cards they were playing with themselves. I can't say much about that, so he certainly can't say anything. nice empathetic now what's your emotion around Ivan Mallet's death hmm no I guess oh I don't think of anything at all for me, he died about 20 years ago when he was arrested because this wasn't the person who was with you.
I prefer to remember the person who appears in you, a good person, yes, although I didn't have any feelings of any kind, he is just a person who died. Have you ever thought? Do you have any beliefs about what happens to Ivan Milat now that he is dead? Nothing at all, except great relief. that the world has been rid of another, our Australia has been rid of one of the notorious

serial

killers and psychopaths and that's where he is, it's a damn shame they couldn't have coerced him with the rest as they are a loving family .
It is not a torment that arises without ever forgetting the years of terror. Everything comes back andthe question that could not be answered. Do you agree that it seems a bit daring? No, I don't accept it as it seems, if we are the property. women murdered in their garden new record is not their that's next in 60

Arden Mullet's trial in the New South Wales Supreme Court lasted 18 weeks in July 1996 he was found guilty of the murders of the seven young backpackers, as well as the attempted murder of the man who escaped British backpacker Paul Onions the day after the conviction. 60 minutes of a notable interview with Paul Onions were broadcast.
He bravely carried Charles. Will he return to the scene of his escape from Malaysia to make it all come back? He just leaned over and looked down. from the seat he simply pulled out a revolver and obviously all the questions on the same show that Paul Onion described the depravity of the mullets. Our former colleague, the late Richard Carlton, spoke to members of Mullet's family, including two of his brothers. Richard and Bill Mullet tried to convince the country that an innocent man had been convicted. I don't think either brother is violent, but Colton had no claims and continued to show why he was one of the best. interviewers Australia has ever produced or would you accept that he seems a bit suspicious?
No, I don't accept that we think it's a bit of a good thing that there's murdered women's property in your garden and you think it's not a question of how many people have identified these things. well, you want to know how many were killed. I know how many people were killed by your family by my family. I'd like to know how many you can see both Richard Carlton's incredible interview with the MLAT family and Charles Willie's exclusive story with Paul Onions. its entirety online now and certainly worth watching Ivan Milat terrorize a nation is a terrible chapter in our history but also a reminder of the bravery and nationhood of those people, including the police, who brought this murderer in mass before justice.
