80+ Victims? Milat Inquiry Eyes New Cold Cases

A new NSW parliamentary inquiry is investigating unsolved murders and long-term missing persons cases dating back to 1965. This investigation has the potential to link numerous additional victims to the infamous serial killer Ivan Milat. Milat was convicted in 1994 for the murders of seven backpackers whose remains were discovered in the remote Belanglo state forest.

Milat, who passed away in custody in 2019 at the age of 74, is now suspected by investigators of having murdered upwards of 80 individuals. The inquiry aims to shed light on these cold cases and provide answers to grieving families.

Families of Milat's victims are actively involved, pushing for the continued efforts to uncover the complete extent of his crimes and bring closure. The ongoing investigation seeks to establish a definitive link between more victims and the convicted serial killer, potentially rewriting the known scale of his atrocities.
