A
Blustery Winter's day yet one man leaves the warmth of his home to search for pine branches for a media Christmas celebration
What he was to find would set a community and its police officers on edge for months to come
It was up [to] us
to deliver that killer so pick them get on with their lives and
[as] she approached the toy lock on the footpath she noticed a male coming from the toilet block area
There's got to be something wrong. There's no reason for why this woman has gone missing
We didn't want to give the impression that there was a serial killer on the run
Whoever the killer was at the stage had developed an appetite [for] her
That piece of skin was going to hold a vital clue for the investigators
You can lie to me, but you can't lie to God are you responsible for the deaths of any reason?
When a young girl's body was found in this park in the teeming rain police had the odds stacked against them
They would need to call upon all of their investigative and forensic skills to solve a crime that even today
Sends chills down the spines of those who lived [through] it
We will call out about eight o'clock that evening an absolutely horrific night. We had a major downpour of rain and wind and
That was a major concern for us
The potential for loss of Evidence is enormous in an external scene like that
The biological evidence that we would have been looking for they blood and basically other
body fluids
But given the conditions the Likelihood was that we weren't going to find those
So the offender in this case couldn't have asked for a better night from his perspective to work him at the crime and it causes
Great problems that we Vs.. England much evidence from the scene at all
The deceased was obviously a young female
She was laying face-up, and there was a very small tree branch laying across the body
I have no reason why [they've] put there it certainly didn't disguise the body at all
in terms of a sexual assault
Her pants and lower body clothing were intact
But the upper body was exposed
there was significant and
Massive wounds to the throat which were the obvious cause of death to me at that time
The Autopsy examination revealed that she had a number of bruises and abrasions on the arms and hands which suggests there may have been [attempted]
Defense however there were no injuries to suggest that her arms and hands and come in contact with a knife
[or] other sharp instrument
it suggested that the victim had lost consciousness before she was attacked with the knife and
Tiny Pinpoint Blood Clots were the tell-tale signs
around the eyes and
Present within the tissue lying inside of the Eyelids were some small hemorrhages known as particular hemorrhages
And they are consistent with her having had strangulation occurring during life
There are some minor injuries suggesting the boy had been moved and possibly dragged
It was an insight into the murderers method of killing
But marks on the victims chest were further and troubling signature there was no bruising or bleeding
Present within the soft tissues these features suggest that these injuries occurred after death
What caused me concern and all of us concerning the time was?
This criss cross on the chest is a satanic
[had] we got just the thrill killer. Why has he done it? He-she because it's not gender based
As Detectives [learnt] of an 18 year old reported missing crime scene examiner's continue to their search
next morning, weather was much better, rain had stopped and it was much more suitable for
[a] crime scene in an area not [far] from where the body had been there was a
blue and white sports bag which contained a number of
Schoolbooks and a number of those books were in the name of Elizabeth Stevens
Elizabeth Stephens body was found in a drain late on Saturday at lourdes
Recreation reserve less than half a kilometer from her home
Originally from Hobart she was completing her vce at Frankston tafe and was living with her uncle at [Lang] Warren
Couldn't believe that it was her we kept expecting her to walk through the front door homicide Detectives have very few leads in the investigation
And yet to establish a motive [for] the brutal killing. They're now trying to piece together, Elizabeth [Stevens] movements
Piecing together the movements of your victim is absolutely paramount for us
We knew that she left a note for her
Uncle and Auntie that she was going to the tafe college library
She gave an estimated time of return of 8 o'clock so we knew she had traveled and placed herself
Down at the Fingsten CBD
We were able to establish that elizabeth mail call to her sister, and she was going to go visit her the next day
He's gone for shopping tomorrow
We know that call was made from the cbd of frankston the police would now turn to the public for their help
But at one house they were going to get more than they expect
When I say [the] significant blood there was significant blood in the house, we were comfort. We're on a winner
The body of 18 year old Elizabeth [Stephens] was found in a park not far from her home
There seemed little motive as to why she had been so brutally murdered
The police needed to piece together her last movements and for that. They would rely on the public
Any investigation we undertake we rely so heavily on the cooperation assistance from the public
There's only few of us, but many of them
[police] hope this mannequin dressed in clothes similar to those worn by Elizabeth Stephens on the night
She disappeared will jog the memory of anyone who may have seen the teenager neither Frankston [tafe] last Friday night
we did Pamphlets and roadblocks where we set up a mannequin dressed in similar clothes and that led to
witnesses coming forward and that piece together for us the places that the Elizabeth had been
One was that they take away food bar which was in the heart of france [ttan]?
We had another sighting at the tafe [college] probably around 7 o'clock that evening
within if the Satisfy ourselves
How did she get back to the location where she's in fact found and the bus was the most obvious form of transport?
What she followed by someone from the cafe this year into somewhat trouble on the bus with her?
while the calls kept coming in from the public
Charlie Buzina, and his team were drawn [off] in the area, [and] when they stopped at one house, they thought they'd hit the jackpot
There was one particular house. We went to where this particular individual of the house slammed the door in our face and
Police [boom] police arouses our suspicion as a result of that we get into the house, and there was blood everywhere
So in finding the houses we did
Immediately we treat that as a crime scene and as it turned out this guy had to self mutilate and that was it
But that caused us a lot of man-hours to eliminate him as a potential suspect the detectives were virtually back to square one
so [you] go from your peak back down to a trough and
Then we had the crushing news that we learned of a woman been reported missing from the fingsten area
More than 100 ses officers joined police in an intense search today for any trace of deborah and frame - tearing us apart
It's got a son here. That's 12 days old which is
currently all reports were that Debbie was some a
Loving caring mother happy about the fact that she had a new baby on the scene. She loves her child she loves me
since the birth
It's to spend unreal my life couldn't be better until this there was
Considerations of because she wasn't your mum was she suffering from Postnatal Depression
It seemed unlikely
And also as the night she disappeared
Debbie had a friend over for dinner and at some stage
Debbie and Ronnie develop and had said that she was going down to the local shop to purchase milk
And she's left her baby with a family friend and had gone off to get the milk and hadn't been seen since
I'm thinking to myself
There's something wrong. There's got to be something wrong. There's no obvious reason for why this woman is gone missing
Debbie's disappearance took on a more sinister tone
Considering on the same night only [a] train station away and less than two hours before another woman had been assaulted
Make sure you approach the 12 100. Foot parts. You noticed a male coming from the toilet block area
She didn't take a lot of notice [um]
Shortly after that she felt a person grabbed her from behind
Then he threatened her and suggested that he had a firearm or a pistol which he put against [the] her head
Raised her up with an expensive ring the man, and it didn't take it
Finally because a big push break free ran out towards the road with him [chasing] it likely for her car stop
While Rosa [top] escaped and was now safe at home police [were] still searching for 22 year old Debbie freeing
Myself and one of my other colleagues had decided that because we know Debbie, [we're] going to get milk
We're gonna check the local milk bars
And we were traveling back to the office when I saw a cab a silver [couch] fitting the description of Debbie's in
Madden Street, just outside the Christian Life center. I think [it] [scope]
There was a V-shaped dent in the bonnet which indicated that she may have been involved in an accident
Police are also appealing to anyone who may [have] information
about an accident involving Debbie's silver [Pulsar] found two kilometers from home late yesterday according to
[Derry's] de Facto, it wasn't didn't have that damage when he left it on Thursday
We examined [the] car at that time and took photos of the car
the weather was closing in so it was important to remove the car as quickly as possible, so
We didn't took it to of the forensic science laboratory and put [her] under cover there for further examination
the damage to the front of the car
Extended from the top of the Bonnet down through the group to the number plate
This indicated to me [that] it had struck a an upright object possibly a street or [Road] sign
offense something fairly tall
To identify what Debbie's car hit and get a possible lead on where Debbie was?
The number plate which had tiny orange smears on it was removed for testing I?
Examines the substance using a very high-powered microscope to analyze the elemental composition
This was not paint or plastic or timber based but related somewhat
possibly to a soil or two crushed rock or even
Brick
It was more than likely that Debbie's car had hit a brick wall
But was it on her way to get the milk or after
No, milk, no
Groceries or her purse were found in the car, but other ominous clues were there?
when I examined the car, I noticed that the driver's seat was in a
reclining position [and]
Pushed nearly all the way back. I gained the impression somebody larger than Debbie Drove the car [to] Momen street
I also found what appeared to be blood on a blade of grass [sitting] on the passenger side seat
And we found it appeared to be blood on the driver's seat the blood was that of Debbie frame
But who had driven the car to Madden Street?
Was the young mother missing or murdered?
Police had been sent to Karen downs where a woman's body was found a short time ago
It was discovered in grazing land between wet Road, and Thompson's Road
[Taylor's] Roads an Unmade Road
And it's got grazing paddocks [neither] side of the road and a body was found
between
The Trees and the wire fence of the Paddock it was suspected that it was the body of Debbie frame who had been missing for
Two or three days and whose car we had found in [Madden] Street in Frankston
Residents in the Bayside suburbs of seaford and Frankston are living in terror following the second stabbing murder in recent [weeks]
The body of Deborah and frame was found beside a dirt road in Farmland at Karen Downes ten kilometers from her safe at home
Unfortunately [there] was nothing at the scene to indicate who the offender might have been we were still
up in the air at that stage
But while clues to the offender weren't present
He had left telltale signs that might link him to the murder of Elizabeth Stevens whose body was found
Exactly one month before the body was covered by broken branches and even though I didn't go to the scene
Of Elizabeth Stevens I knew that her body had
vegetation placed on top of the -
On the grass near where Debbie was concealed there was a large [amount] of blood
this indicated to me that she was killed and then hidden behind the bushes her dress was pulled up around a midriff and
Her under clothing was intact the same hose, Elizabeth Stevens
She's died for multiple stab wounds not only to the neck region to the as I said before the upper body in
What can only be described as a frenzied attack when Debbie foams body was discovered and after the post-Mortem examination?
[we're] in a position to
Compare the sort of injuries and the post-mortem injuries from that victim against the first case and [what] we did notice was that
There was evidence of strangulation
[there] was a similar pattern of stab wounds there were post-mortem injuries
So whilst there were a number of indicators that?
Certainly led us to believe that you know there was a possibility. It could be the same killer
We didn't want to give the impression that there was a serial killer on the run the problem facing the police
Was that two other young women had also been murdered in the area within the last three years?
the body of 25 year old Michelle brown was found in March last year and Sarah McDermott was abducted from [Canoga] Railway station in
1990 her body was never found the connection to a serial killer was inevitable
If there is a serial killer at work here
It's places like this where he stalks his prey this [area's] full of young women and single mothers
People who used to feel safe here
But no longer my husband might let me out after dark unless I've got one of the dogs with me
Suburbia is like my sleep anymore. [I] have to go with my husband
I hope I was a [laborer] girlfriend your friends up the road
But you're scared to go and see them the bad guys are winning and that makes you angry. I'll go nightclubs
Annette and there aren't that many single girls go in there now
Because it's too dangerous from the Va tonight [phone] police are pouring resources into finding the murderer who may well be a serial killer
Is clear that term a lot of people in Frankston were frightened to fight and go out at night?
We were all expecting another murder. You know it was just this whoever the killer was at this stage had developed an appetite [for] it
the most important thing was to try and catch the killer you publicize all the locations of Caravans and as many photos [of] Elizabeth and
and debby information about the car that she was driving anything that might lead to the killer a number of
people [ringing] a result of police to the community from the Media
Witnesses it came forward said that they'd seen a tall man return to the vehicle
After they'd been located Madden street and enter the vehicle and take some goods from it some of the other reports
We got indicated that Debbie was seen in the vehicle with a male that the vehicle was [driving] erratically through the streets of Langston
Had been some attempt to flush
Hi burn
Which gave the [investigators] their first clues that Debbie had in fact been abducted?
We were confident that the offender had driven the vehicle back to Madden Street
And the main clue it gave us was that we thought he lived within
Walking vicinity of that area and in order to flush out the a potential
offender or suspect we called upon the
Services or there were criminal Profiler [I]?
Was asked to have a look at the two murders that had occurred [to] that point
To see if I could provide some insight in relation to the particular individual that might be involved in committing these murders
typically serial Killers start their killing between the ages of 18 to 24
These kinds of individuals have a very
Fantasy life [I] get pleasure out [of] fantasizing about selecting their victims the kind of victims
And how they're going to kill them and what they're going to experience during the killing so if you're fantasizing
Almost every minute of your waking life
It's very difficult to hold down a meaningful job
there was enough information enough evidence available to me to conclude the killer was a local you don't go and Commit a
Murder in an area that you're totally uncomfortable with because that would be your greatest exposure
So he would fit into the local community he wouldn't attract attention. It was perfect for him
from that information the police produced a questionnaire
And we're going to Target an area in Frankston with a profiler believed the killer might live
But just as they were about to commence the door knock another young girl went missing for me
In less than eight weeks
two young women had been killed both in a similar and
brutal way there seemed little doubt that a serial killer was at work [the]
[police] had little to go on [but] [they] had bombarded the area with extra officers warning its residents to be careful
especially at night and
now
17-Year Old School student Natalie Russell was missing
Normally nellie rode her bike to school and because it was raining. I checked. You know I'd taken
I dropped her off at [school]. I'd always said to natalie. I was really you know if you want [to] lift [oh]
anyway, there was no call so I just assumed that she got into Frank's in which she often do and
Anyway, when the bus came quarter past 6:00 Natalie wasn't on
It was a bit concerned about that the next bus came would love the seven
And when she wasn't on [that] I said Brian. [oh] ah something's wrong
When I went to the hair so any side and spoke to Mr.. Mrs., Russell I
remember, Mrs., Russell was
She's very nervous. I mean she's wringing her hands a lot to us and I
Think she was thinking that something may something terrible might have happened
I was I think as we all did on the night we had a fire arthur girl
We took a full description of what she was wearing height hair color length, and remotely started asking questions about you know
Had they rung any of her friends which I hadn't my aunt sent us in to 2:30 when she had left school
across the road from Natalie's school was a bike track between two golf courses a
Shortcut that many students like Natalie would take to get to their homes
It was the logical place to start their search
We were taken to the spot where there was a large
cutting the cyclone fence right up against one of the
governor's poles
The first thing I noticed was say some bloody handprints along the pole and as I walked into the bush
and I saw a school bag which all the kids [from] the college have and
Then as I turned around the corner further. Oh yeah, saw a pair of
Black stockings and then the school uniform one would assume [straightaway] that would be natalie
And I said oh
is it a female and they said yes and
I said
School clothes on they said yes, [I] was john Paul college cool clothes [I] said
Well, it's not Natalie because I said Natalie was too strong. She wouldn't let anyone hurt her, or kill her [I]
Can say from looking at the same what I saw Natalie put up one hell of a fight?
Hell of a fight the ground was which she'd kicked alder builder grass underneath was down to Bare Earth
She'd certainly um she'd certainly struggled well, but unfortunately [just] over powder
The body of Seventeen-Year-Old [vce] student Natalie Russell was discovered at [Eleven] o'clock last night
Just over two hours after police launched an intensive search of the [area] when her family reported her missing
The killing follows the to earlier murders of Deborah frame three weeks ago and Elizabeth [Stephens] [on] June the 12th
Detectives confirmed that she died from multiple stab wounds to the upper body they are looking at the obvious similarities between the attacks
The [simulators] with the other two victims were quite evident
But the striking difference in this particular scenario was that the offender had become more brazen
become more Risk-taker
Clearly hadn't decided to strike in at night
Just the way it cut a hole in the fence and obviously it was
Someone just walking past you would have just reached out and grabbed him and dragged him in like
just an
A welders tractor was just a brazen act
the following morning forensic investigators searched the area when Natalie's body Lay
They hoped the best crime scene unlike the other two would provide evidence that would identify their killer
we noticed the hole in the fence on the western side of the track [had] [been] cut and
further down the track there was another hole in the fence and also one on the Eastern Side I
Collected samples of wire that [had] been cut from these holes
the cut wire was very
significant because if we were able to find a tool we could match that up to the cut wire at the scene in the
Hole at the Northern end of the track there was an amount of blood smeared on a fence post
The blood may have belonged to the offender, but it could also have come from
Natalie as well in behind this hole there was a bushy area where the body of the deceased was lying
Another year ahead were a couple of small leather straps very very light type leather similar to straps that are used on binoculars
These were stained with blood if they had have been used for the purpose of strangulation
[they] would have broken as they appear to have done
the Autopsy was also showing positive leads within the largest of the neck injuries a
2.7 by not 0.5 centimeter piece of skin was discovered
this skin when
Examined had ridges on it suggesting that it had come [from] the hand and there were no equivalent injuries present on Natalie [Russell]
That piece of skin was going to hold a vital clue for the investigators with what it was able to do
was provide a DnA match between
the offender and the Crime scene a nexus between Natalie and the in whoever killed her
ses workers and police continue the search for clues today
Dozens of Golfers were turned away as police closed the courses and sealed off an area covering more than [three] square kilometres
we're certainly interested in hearing from anybody who may have seen a
Personal mail person in particular loitering around the golf course that plea would be answered by a young cop fresh out of the academy
His notebook will hold the missing piece of the puzzle the detectives so desperately needed
The small community of Frankston only an hour away from Melbourne was the target of a serial killer
It was up to us
To deliver that killer so pittenger get on with their lives the criminal profiler suggested the murderer was 18 to 24
unemployed and a local
Police were now door-knocking a particular area in which they believed the killer lived
more than
150 detectives from almost every Victorian police squad joined forces in Bayside Frankston today to begin
operation Tulsa
As the [Dornoch] Began Detective Wilson learned of a potential and exciting lead
two young constables came to the Task Force office
Reporting an incident they've been called to the previous day the day that
Natalie, Russell went missing we received a call to atTend
skywriting in Frankston for a suspicious vehicle [and] when we got there, [we] [saw] [Rio], Toyota Corona
Yellow kind of car it was parked
Opposite the bike track that natalie and his schoolmates used and had been reported to the police by a posting on
Friday I ran about three o'clock. I was on my round
Just about finished was knock off time for school
and I saw a car without any registration plates on the back there was a bloke in the car with his arms crossed and
He slashed down to try and hide you know under the steering wheel
And I just kept going till I found a house [that] on you someone was home
So I went in there called the police [when] [we] got there was no one at the car had no
registration plates
and we noticed a interim registration label on the front windscreen and noted the registration down and
Then we decided to have a look around at some of the houses that were on the same [side] of the street is a car
So we did a bit of a door knock?
Had a bit of a look across the road
there was no one around so we just made sure that we had all the details right from the car and
Then we left
The following day, I brought that information to our attention
And that was a significant breakthrough I felt quite optimistic
About two main issues here this person was right at the scene when the killing occurred
So either had a potentially a first grade witness or we were on the for the first time in this investigation
we had a real [suspect] we could look at
The car was registered to a paul Charles, [Denya]
And his flat was smack in the middle of the area police and their profiler had targeted
Knocked at the door and Paul invited us into his flat. He was quite relaxed. He was extremely friendly
[eager] to answer our questions very very cooperative. I noticed that he had a number [of] cuts on his fingers
I invited Paul to come back to the police station at Frankston
Before continuing, I must inform you that you've got other lives to say or do [anything]
But anything you say, or do may be given in evidence. Do you understand that yeah?
What is your age and date of birth?
21 years old I was born on the 14th of April 1972. Okay. Are you an australian citizen [yep]?
Are you currently employed now? I'm an employment present time [all] [we] [got] to do Paul. Is if you can just
run through
Starting with yesterday morning. I got up in the morning about
20 to A
7:30 22 way oh
Sharon was during the question is with for [dinner] Paul was consistent with these
The way Dad's of questions at back at the back. It is flat as I was coming down safe. Ask Corinne Will drive
remotest
temperature gage started go up [too] high
So I just pulled over in sky driving idea and right across the road in a golf course and that did everything
So I pulled up then I checked under the card [at] the bottom found out the house could come loose
When we saw you down at your flat this afternoon?
[I] noticed a number of cuts on your fingers. Yeah, and you just put your hands flat
on the desk
Just right up here
This is you here is a line that sort of a cut just explain
How you got that injury and when you've got that injury [I've] got it yesterday, and I was working on a car
What the hey is I get a good?
Well the phone spins this way
so if I'm standing from the car yes like yeah fear spins out by the alternator sits there yeah, and
There's wires running down underneath one of the radiator. There's a white at the top which was for a white that I just recently from
Unless it mean when I put the hand down there. I caught the fence and what did you have it running? Yeah?
That's terrible [when] you were checking down yet
times in worker
Pass as Paul [Daniel] willingly recounted his day's events. His flat was being searched
I then went to [he's] flat and was part of the search party executing a warrant and the things within found there at
The flat the team collected knives and various pieces of clothing and from the car
binoculars without a strap and
Amongst his many and very towards a pair of pliers
Just build up their excitement enraged to say well, we're confident it
Wasn't another one that I mentioned dearly the chap that we found a slender or near face. I think
[we're] on to the right guy here
To know that those pliers were taken to the forensic laboratory where they were used to cut sample pieces of wire
Every pair of pliers has its own individual and distinctive cutting edge
Just like every person has an individual fingerprint
Anywheres or imperfections on the blade are reflected on the ends of the wire it cuts?
So when these sample wires were examined under a microscope against the cut wire brought back from the bike track. They
Are you aware that time girl was found murdered in Frankston here?
Today being Saturday yeah, when did you first become a work that well? I've saw some police cars and
Everything when I was driving up [sky] road this morning an ses workers. So you saw ses workers and all that in sky Road
Yeah, and I had some white tape across my my those are you?
[sure], [he's] what me yeah, I saw you I saw
[Ala] guy, and that was what were you doing?
When you [saw] that what were you going, or what we doing I will go to the wreckers
we seem to be able to have an answer for every occasion where he was what he did [which] only gave rise to suspicion because
Nobody has that sort of recall my view yeah
more disturbingly [Paul], [Denya] could recall every minute of
Every hour on the ferry days that Elizabeth Debbie and Natalie were murdered
yesterday
Your car was parked opposite the location where the body of Natalie Russell was found on
The night [of] Debbie frame disappeared you walked over to Canada Railway station [missed] [the] [train] [and] walk back and on the night
Elizabeth [Stevens] disappeared you walked
In a very close proximity to lloyd park on your way to pick up this battery
Do you think that's fairly towards an enemy it is in all the all the circumstances
Are you responsible for the deaths of any of these women?
Police were continuing to interview their prime suspect Paul Charles [DénIa]
Not only was his car in close proximity to the murder scene of Natalie Russell
But his flat contained evidence that linked him to that scene
His hands also had suspicious cuts
essentially your blood is requested for the purpose of
Confirming or disproving your involvement in these matters we asked Paul for a blood sample and a sample of other tissue so we could
establish a match between skin found at the
Post-Mortem of the Russell Victim and himself so we could time to the to the murder
What was has been used for short time?
Did you anything sure one like a cup of coffee or a shower like a night of heavy cookie?
I worked to or are you to cover coffee on just a short break?
At that particular time when he was sitting there he was starting to realize now that
blood samples were being requested and and the
Dna may link him to the scenes and he knew that we didn't believe in every story
Do you think that's fairly common today? It is in all the circumstances I?
Think he knew that the game was up
So to speak and whilst we're waiting for our forensic experts to come and take various samples detective [Dono]
Lachlan just looking after paul and don was wearing a cluster. You could see through his shirt and
Paul asked him if he was a Christian and conversation ensure about that. Yeah, yes spoke to
detective our [locker] here and
You were told to take a level item that you were responsible for the murders of the three the three women is that correct?
Just tell us in your own words Paul. What happened in relation to the death of Elizabeth students that they want?
so yeah off the bus I
walked up behind her
Stuck my left hand around it
Rather their fathers
Hilda [I] got my head right here. I started checking out the flames and
She passed [out] after a while
Then I pulled out a knife okay, and I dragged it away as you're saying
Now I'm through two branches on the body
Can you tell me why?
You attacked her on that night?
just
to send
Just had the feeling that song what sort of feeling can you possibly describe where we had this feeling just?
[want]
Just wanted to kill
Once it made the decision to admit the offense
[you] know he was you know he didn't hold back anything you can see that. He was [very] willing to recount everything that had occurred
Okay, can you try to tell us what happened here?
The car was sitting over there. This is Debbie frames garber. Tommy bear pulsar all right? I was walking down this road here
Saw a jump out of the car. Yes
And it's the milk bar
he I jumped in the backseat of the [car] and
The car was directly across the road because I could see it from inside the car in there
What cause usually tourism?
at that time
Just that go feeling you know so whatever did
And she came out
Well scratch down. I could hear footsteps coming closer to the car
And she hopped in the car which [she] didn't see me in the back
And she went to double U-turn
Pulled out go ahead
Just as she was doing their turn
Going straight into this war which [it]
Which caused a dent on the block?
And then you drove off found this kind of okay. They're down
He was totally removed from the circumstances of what occurred is like it didn't happen to him. He was explaining it
outside himself
he then took Debbie - Taylor's road where he strangled and then killed her with a knife like he did with Elizabeth Stephens, [I]
Am dragged her about a meter into the treason
[Lesha's] lying against the fence
And [I] break off two branches off the nearest train through around the body. I hop [back] in the car in here
They adjusted to [see] to match my height
[but] she was [longer] than me and hit a bank master watermelon street wasn't too close wasn't mm
The next morning just as witnesses described
Paul [Dania] went back to Debbie's car and grabbed her groceries and purse [I]
wanted to see what her name wasn't everything every wallet, so
I took it up to the golf course
Meredith to be able to show us where [that] is exactly if there would you be able to find the spot?
You brought us up the track to this point
Where you've just calmly cutting fence open for us. Yeah, this is area in here you get where the you've indicated the person. Yes
He's digging around and you know like really we could it's just said Relax Paul
It'll be here if you say - it'll be here
You know I just frantically [didn't] because he it was like we were Gonna believe him
Just all that they decided in the middle with Antennae
So that's the location where you buried the first. Yeah, who's that virtual object [doobie] frame?
over the world
Three weeks later he returned to the track what can you tell you about this?
When I [played] early in that day and cut holes in the fences where did you use the couple of old identifiers?
And stood here and watched an athlete last walk around the corner
And I went through this hole waited behind the trees here right until I saw a walk pass here and heading that way
And when she got about ten meters down the track here I came out of the fence
As we're walking along here [hmm]. Are you still maintaining that distance behind her now is getting closer each time I?
Walked along the grass like this and make a sound so you would be heard yeah, I was out with a red handle knife
We neck upon my place
So yeah, yeah just waiting [life]. Oh and a leather strap you [would] have found it at scene in two pieces
What was it useful?
Streamer what was that one?
There's a strap off a pair of binoculars later
I grabbed her hair around mouth left hand like this. Yeah, I dragged her through here
Absolutely, no remorse for what he did the candor is
Confessions were chilling and the way
He was able to describe what he done to these poor [victims] without any sort of emotion. It was quite an amazing
journey
we need one killer for
Same reason as before
Now always wanted to kill teach me that sounds about right?
apart from his callous descriptions of the three murders
He also admitted it to assaulting Rosa [toth] on the same night as he killed Debbie friend
This is some weeks after Elizabeth Stephens he asked us
like every day I was just
Going up boiling up
To I got to that stage [we] [empowered] with the same
Weapon Legolas is a bit aside. Weapon was that the weapon you used when you first approached
Elizabeth Stevens yes, that's not and the same [with] dead before yep
Same as the woman at Seaford Railway station. Yep
In fact lady han, I've got away. What would have happened to [our] killer Rosa wasn't the only lucky one
[been] stalking women for a Few years
[well] [festive]
[is] waiting for that opportunity [not] waiting for the side?
[pulled] [enya's] Confession had lasted just over five hours
21 Year-old unemployed man Paul Charles [Denia] was charged at the Frankston Police station at nine o'clock this morning
The station was under tight security as [Dénia] was driven away in a divisional van escorted by a second police car
When I went back over the task force rail, I can [assure] you there was absolute elation
there was tearing and
you know quite a lot of
You know positive
comments, been made
and as far as given all the time [we've] put in the victims that I'd seen and
The elation was just so great
We all went back to in the early has the morning
to a hotel and
[a] couple of beers in a way as the morning and [when] I have
But it was over he stood up, and he walked all along, and he spotted me
[and] you just stood there and stared at me and said I'm sorry
And I thought well you can large me, but you can't lie to God
Right now Paul [Denia] is behind those high walls under maximum security
Serving a minimum sentence of 30 years
so having murdered three young women and abducting another daniel could be out on the streets at the age of 51 and
That was a really that was just a real kick [in] the teeth as far as we were concerned that
He could do that to these young women and then the law would basically give him a lousy 30 years
Throw he murdered
Because hmm. How many times has it happened I get out I'll do it again. It's just no way that
He [went] to it again. That's what he is. He sees. Just a murderer
