99 Australian Outback Serial Killer, Ivan Milat
Manage episode 403920704 series 3333492
We’re going back down under, to cover our third Australian serial killer. Ivan Milat was an Australian serial killer who terrorized the Outback for years. He was convicted of 7 murders, although he was suspected in many more. He liked attacking backpackers, which there were always plenty of. And, most of them were foreigners, so he could get away with it.
We cover his back story from his harsh upbringing which led to his crimes, as well as a very abusive husband. Also, the extremely close knit relationship he had with his siblings. They had a gang that robbed banks, and if one got caught, another would take the blame for it. This led to an exile to escape justice, although he came back, and they story continued.
He didn’t just kill his victims. He tortured them for hours before killing them. He was ultimately caught, and his trial was explosive. He was almost found innocent! It would take the testimony of a tourist who survived an attack coming to Australia on his own dime to testify, combined with weapons evidence to put him away.
Ivan Milat was realistically the most prolific Australian serial killer, but because he was only convicted of 7, that title goes to John Bunting, and the Snowtown and Bodies in Barrels murders, which we covered in Episode 48.
Ivan was also the inspiration for the Wolf Creek horror movie franchise.
There’s a lot to unpack in this episode before we get to his first murder, but keep in mind...his first murder was more like his 20th. Instagram Twitter(X) YouTube Website Facebook
