Is Australia's Worst Serial Killer Still Unknown?

In late 2024, Upper House member Jeremy Buckingham addressed the NSW state parliament with a shocking possibility—one of Australia’s most prolific serial killers may have never been identified.

There are up to 72 unsolved cases of missing and murdered persons along the NSW North Coast, spanning from 1977 to 2024.

In today’s episode of Australian True Crime, guest host and criminologist Dr. Xanthé Mallett speaks with Jeremy Buckingham to discuss the disturbing possibility that these cases are connected—and why police haven't acted sooner.
