True Blue Crime

Mr Cruel was a child abductor, sexual predator, and presumed murderer, active in suburban Melbourne during the late eighties to early nineties. He has been quite accurately described as the bogeyman for children who grew up in the area at this time. The crimes attributable to this unidentified offender are some of the most calculated, meticulous, and sickening we’ve ever seen here in Australia. But it’s what we don’t know, which is a lot, that makes this tale equal parts mysterious and downright frightening... Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the details of Mr Cruel's confirmed attacks, and the fear and panic that was instilled in families across Melbourne during the late eighties and early nineties.

Detective Sergeant Les Chapman and his partner Detective Sergeant Dennis Hart arrived at the Lameroo Lodge in Darwin in the morning of Saturday the 25th of November 1983. Adjacent to the lodge in a flower bed lay the deceased body of who appeared to be a young indigenous woman. A pathologist couldn't identify one single injury that killed her, it was a cumulative mix of the entire assault, but he noted 28 external injuries, and notably, no defensive injuries. Pretty quickly the Detectives stumbled across a solid lead. And this was in a bin nearby, when they found a blood soaked cowboy shirt...

Detectives Joe Cassar and Russell Oxford inspected the scene. The house was immaculate, not an item out of place, not a dirty dish left out. Bloodstains lined the hallway leading in to the bedroom where the victim lay. there was a smear of blood on the doorjamb, and in another room nearby, a footprint on the bedspread facing an open window; the like point of escape. The victim lay slouched over the bed, battered and mutilated, the blood spattering on the walls and bed abundant. The throat had been cut and there was noticeable slashes around the buttocks. Shocking as the crime scene was, however, the most likely perpetrator was safely locked away behind bars... or was he?

The windows of the house at 1 Reserve Street had all been smashed with rocks. Firecrackers had been hurled into the yard and scorched the once lush green grass, and graffiti plastered across the front fence read 'you're a wanker'. Upon his return home, around 3PM, Frank made his bed and changed into a white singlet and green tracksuit pants. He looked up at his glass sliding door, and saw young John standing in his doorway.

Racecourse Road, Flemington, on Friday the 25th of January 2002; Armaguard cash in transit security officers Mohammed Tabiaat and Rebecca Mitchell pulled up in their armoured van just before 10AM. The pair were restocking 2 ATM's with cash, but the bank branch itself was no longer operational - no staff inside. They just had to enter the premises and refill the machines from the rear. Mohammed took up his spot on the street, scanning the surrounding area as Rebecca made the cash transfer. And right around when Rebecca reached the front door of the building, Mohammed spotted two balaclava wearing men in dark clothes running towards them. Both of the men were armed; one with a rifle and a revolver, the other with a sawn-off shotgun...

After seeing a movie and grabbing a bite to eat, Kim Barry and Donna Holland were up for a drink and dance. The local disco at Crown Gardens was the perfect spot and the vibes were good when the girls arrived. Donna left a short time later, feeling unwell, and Kim spotted an acquaintance she knew from dance classes; a local coal miner named Graham Potter. The pair had a quick chat at the bar, then went to a quiet spot for a drink of wine. Sadly, this would be the last drink of wine Kim would ever have...

Thou art my love and I am thine; I drew thee to my Valentine: The lot was cast and then I drew, And Fortune said it should be you."

Karen Redmile was working near the intersection of Brunswick and Harcourt Streets; another night in the Valley dealing with client's requests and negotiating. She was speaking with a man, and this guy had a noticeably deep voice. But the conversation didn't remain amicable; it became violent. Those nearby heard glass smashing, and loud thumping noises thereafter. But they didn't see anything. A short time later, Karen was found on the footpath outside 99 Harcourt St, unconscious and with severe head injuries. Question was, would Karen ever regain consciousness and identify her attacker?

21st of October 2002. Monash University, Clayton, Victoria. After the class of 12 had filed in and taken their seats, lecturer Lee Gordon-Brown handed back an assignment that students had recently completed, and began the class with a discussion, writing a question on the whiteboard for everyone to ponder. Around 20 minutes into the class at 11:25AM, things took a sudden and horrific turn inside room E659 of the Menzies Building. Allen, seated at the rear of the classroom, jumped up with both of his arms outstretched and screamed at the top of his lungs 'you never understand me...'

9th of November 1983. Bayan Lepas International Airport, Penang, Malaysia There was the usual bustle of activity inside and outside the airport, with a seemingly innumerable fleet of taxis dropping people off and picking up fares. The relentless cluster of passengers travelling to and from domestic and international flights flooded the airport lounges and check-in counters. Amongst all of the airport activity, two young Australian men aged in their mid-20's alighted from one of the many taxis and entered the airport. One man was carrying a maroon suitcase; he was named Kevin Barlow, and his acquaintance was Brian Chambers. Barlow approached the check in desk, as Chambers paid the taxi fare, passed through the luggage scanning area, and joined him there. Barlow was sweating and shaking profusely, which drew unwanted attention to him and Chambers. As a consequence, the two were detained and searched by local authorities, where they discovered the maroon suitcase contained 141.9g of pure heroin. How did these two men end up in this dire situation, almost 5000km from their homes in Perth, Australia? Especially with Malaysia's new highly advertised harsh drug laws at the time, which promised death for the crime they were committing...

11 July 1990. Kananook Train Station, Seaford, Victoria. At 10:20PM Maria Babacala got off the train and made her way off the platform, crossing the overpass to head out of the station. As the clacking of the train departing for Frankston echoed in the night sky, things again fell silent and she shuffled towards her destination. But that silence was soon disturbed by the sound of a firm female voice in the distance; 'give my car keys back and stop fooling around', the woman said.

18, July 1998. The Green Papaya Restaurant, Surrey Hills, Victoria. A dozen staff were closing up for the night in the safe suburban upper class neighbourhood in Melbourne's East. Just as the restaurant owner, Leon Dong, had his staff clear the last plate of devoured lemon chicken from the tables, a pair of masked armed robbers stormed into the venue. The older of the two bandits, wearing a Richard Nixon mask, bellowed orders while waving a Smith and Wesson revolver around. The younger bandit, wearing a Ronald Reagan mask, bound the staff in the middle of the restaurant with filament tape. As Reagan scooped up their loot and wished the bound victims a nice day, the older Nixon, with his paunchy belly and white velcro tab runners turned back and said; 'Tell the coppers Lucifer was here...'

19 September 1994. Hallam, Victoria Constable Jason Bryant and Sergeant Allan Beckwith were patrolling north along Hallam Road, when they spotted a stolen Nissan Bluebird with stolen registration plates backing out of Bowens Timber and Hardware. Neither of the officers knew the car or plates were stolen at that moment, but the driver was hasty to be on their way, so the police pulled over and let them pass, before putting on their lights and pulling the vehicle over. This was night time so the occupants of the Bluebird may not have known this was a police car, but they soon learnt. As Sergeant Beckwith left his vehicle to approach the Bluebird, a middle aged husky looking man leapt out of the Nissan with a revolver pointed directly at the officer, then fired a shot...

He said he didn't want to hurt her, but she saw the 10 inch butcher's knife in his hand. Mrs G was too scared to say anything and worried about her daughter in the room nearby. The intruder said, 'I just want to make love to you.' Then he kissed her on the neck and added, 'I've been watching you. Have you been seeing me?' She said no. Then he pulled her shirt down and told her to undress, reassuring her that he wasn't going to hurt her. Mrs G, still frightened but no longer paralysed with fear, found her tongue. 'Don't you know any girls?' The attacker with the stocking over his head nodded. 'Yes, but I like you...' Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the notorious and vile 'Mr Stinky', Raymond Edmunds.

6th of December, 1980, around 2pm. Graeme Brenchley and Tom Looby were enjoying a day of fox hunting near an old sand quarry. This area was in Tynong North, around Brew Road. The men had permission to hunt there. For Graeme and Tom to be able to hunt any foxes, they first had to be lured out from safety, and into the area where they were. To do this, the men dumped lamb offal in the nearby scrubland. They were walking along a secluded bush track near the quarry when Graeme changed course so he could follow a wallaby track. Unfortunately for Graeme, what he spotted next was not a wallaby. It wasn't even a fox. It was a grey stocking, with toe bones sticking out...

On Thursday 2 June 2011, 13 year old Siriyakorn Siriboon, or Bung as she's commonly known, had breakfast with her Mum, Vannida, and her older sister, Pang, before she left her home in Boronia, Victoria, to walk to school, as she did every weekday. Bung was wearing her blue and white checked school uniform and her dark blue zip-front school jacket and carrying a backpack. She was seen by a neighbour a short time later in Elsie Street, walking towards Albert Avenue. Bung didn't arrive at school that day or return home thereafter. Somewhere during the 700 metre walk to Boronia Heights College, Bung Siriboon vanished and she hasn't been seen or heard from since...

On April 24, 2018, as many of us remember well, Joseph DeAngelo the alleged Golden State Killer/East Area Rapist/Original Night Stalker was apprehended for a spate of brutal rapes and murders committed throughout California in the mid 1970's to mid 1980's. While the sheer number of victims this offender amassed has never and hopefully will never have an Australian parallel, the unnerving similarities the offender or offenders in this case presents the very real possibility that we might have if it hadn't been for the actions of one victim and two security guards...

20th of January 2017 Windsor, Melbourne, Victoria. At around 8am, a channel 9 news team were covering a story about a man who had been viciously stabbed by his own brother, outside their mother's apartment. The victim was fighting for his life in hospital. The channel 9 reporter discussing the crime was interrupted by a maroon Holden Commodore, which pulled up slowly behind her. The driver leaned out the window, smiling, and looked directly at the camera. 'That's me they're looking for" he yelled, before driving off.

The house was dark and every door to the place was locked. Constable Macarty eventually found a bedroom window that was ajar, and managed to pry it open and slide into the dark house. He went to the front door and let Detective Wild in, before the pair turned the lights on and had a wander around. They walked back down the hallway and into the bedroom where Macarty had gained access - and it was here the pair noticed both single bed mattresses in the room were soaked with blood, with spatter flanking the adjacent walls...

9th of May 1999, Snowtown, South Australia Jamie and David made the trip to Snowtown, where Jamie had organised for them to check out a cheap computer a mate of his was selling. $200 - a deal that was too good to pass up. They arrived in around an hour, parked out the front of the old bank building and wandered inside. David saw the computer and then he saw John Bunting, who he knew. 'This is the computer,' Bunting said, and a second later, his offsider Wagner had David by the throat, and they handcuffed the terrified young man. They led him into an area that had once been a bank manager's office, and proceeded to make him handover his wallet, PIN, and recite a number of phrases and words into a recording device. David, shaking like a leaf, turned to his stepbrother and said 'Jamie, am I going to go home?' 'Yes,' Jamie said. 'Do you promise?' David asked again. 'I promise,' Jamie said. Then Bunting put on Live's Throwing Copper album, and a maniacal grin spread across Wagner's face. David wasn't going home... Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss one of Australia's most brutal and notorious series of serial murders.

Tuesday 16th of August, 1994, Lower Light, 50 kilometres north of Adelaide, South Australia. No wind and no rain - the perfect conditions for brothers Jack and Ron Finch to conduct weed spraying on their 4000 acre farm. The brothers worked tirelessly all morning. After lunch, they returned to their arduous work, spotting what appeared to be a fox burrow up ahead. Ron pointed it out and Jack manoeuvred the car around the obstacle, before they happened upon a bone. They both took it for a sheep bone at first, but a closer look confirmed otherwise. It was a human skull. 'That's no burrow,' Ron said, 'that's someone's grave back there...' Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss one of Australia's most brutal and notorious series of serial murders.

On 25 April 1978, Bill and Valda Thomas were mushrooming in remote bushland alongside Swamp Road near the South Australian town of Truro, when they stumbled upon what they thought was the bone from the leg of a cow. When they couldn't shake the image from their minds, they returned to the area two days later for another look. Upon closer inspection, they saw that the bone had a shoe attached; inside the shoe was human skin and painted toenails... Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss this slow-burning case about a series of missing women who would remain unconnected until the discovery of several sets of human remains in remote bushland near Truro in 1979. The disappearances were becoming more frequent, until they suddenly stopped. Police would discover from a tip-off there was good reason for that, and their subsequent interview of a submissive and infatuated wingman would paint a horrifying picture of a dominant young and charismatic psychopath.

The bodies of five young men were discovered in the broader area of Adelaide between the years 1979 and 1983. All of the bodies displayed signs of brutal sexual torture, leading to their deaths. Some were mutilated and dismembered. A doctor was tried and acquitted for one of the murders, and an accountant was imprisoned for life for committing another. But four of the murders remain technically unsolved. The popular theory is that many more people were involved than just this solitary accountant from an outer Adelaide suburb. Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss these series of abhorrent crimes that shocked the state of South Australia. They discuss the victims, their families, the police investigation, the arrests and trials, and finally, 'The Family'. If Bevan Spencer von Einem didn't act alone, then who else was involved?

Arthur Stanley Brown was charged in 1998 for the August 26, 1970 rape and murder of Judith and Susan Mackay in Townsville, Queensland. The jury failed to reach a verdict and a new trial was blocked on the grounds that Brown was mentally incapable of understanding the charges against him. Brown's arrest attracted wide publicity, leading to a witness to the abduction of Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon from the Adelaide Oval in 1973 identifying him as the man she had seen. Brown was subsequently linked the the Disappearance of the Beaumont Children, and other cold cases. Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the sick and twisted life of a man who, in death, is just as much a phantom as he was in life. Nicknamed the Scarlet Pimpernel for his ability to show up anywhere, anytime, his history is largely unaccounted for, meaning we will likely never truly know just how evil he was...

Joanne Ratcliffe (11) and Kirste Gordon (4) were abducted while attending an Australian rules football match at the Adelaide Oval on 25 August 1973. Despite the case making national headlines at the time, the presumed abduction and murder is often linked and overshadowed by the disappearance of the Beaumont children in 1966. The case is also referred to as the Adelaide Oval Abductions. Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the girls and their families, the details of the abductions, sightings of the perpetrator, police investigation and suspects. In the latter part of the episode, as Shaun dug deeper into the research of this case, two seemingly missed leads and a disturbing theory in connection with a remote South Australian town surfaced, suggesting a potentially dark and twisted end to this case and possibly many others...

44 year old Corryn Rayney left the Community Centre located in Bentley, Western Australia, around 9.30 pm on Tuesday 7 August 2007, and was expected home by her husband and two daughters later that evening. She never showed. Just over a week later, police located Ms Rayney's abandoned vehicle on Kershaw Street, Subiaco. A suspicious oil trail from the car led them to nearby Kings Park, where her body was discovered. The ensuing police investigation narrowed over time to focus on Lloyd Rayney, Corryn Rayney's husband, a prominent Perth barrister specialising in criminal prosecution. Senior Sergeant Jack Lee referred to Mr Rayney, controversially, as the 'prime and only suspect' in his wife's death. The story between then and now twisted and turned, with numerous legal proceedings, including a defamation suit lodged by Lloyd Rayney against the State of Western Australia, until 2012, when a trial by Judge only - no jury - resulted in Lloyd Rayney's acquittal. So, did Lloyd Rayney kill his wife? If not, who did?
