DESCRIPTION:
The investigation has continued full-time for more than 10 years, the biggest in the history of the WA Police. But what about all those other young women in Western Australia who have not been seen for yearsare they also victims of the Claremont serial killer? Debi Marshall looks critically at the police investigations and 16 other disappearances in Western Australia. The state of Western Australia was in shock. Claremont is a salubrious suburb of Perth. She talks to everyone involved including forensic investigators, criminologists, the police, the media, and the victims’ parents. There are a number of suspects. And it is now Australia’s longest-running and most expensive murder investigation. Three women disappearing from relatively safe streets without a trace was very disturbing.

A very sad book. I thought I knew a lot about A very sad book. I thought I knew a lot about the Claremont murders but realised there was also a lot I didn't know. The killer is still out there somewhere and I think young women should read this and be aware there are also a lot of women who are still missing in and around Perth and no-one can explain where they have disappeared to, be careful when travelling home alone. I feel so sad fo
