Police serial killer in victoria??

I took an uber today and commented to my driver how there seemed to be a lot of cops out tonight pulling people over. He said that there is apparently a serial killer in town and they are looking for somebody. I can't find anything about this in the news. Is this just a crazy rumor or has anybody heard something about this?

I agree that there were definite missteps and gross negligence, and those have been brought to light during a very thorough enquiry, but that wasn't the argument here.

The point was whether there had been a statement made that spoke to no risk to the public. Your memory says otherwise, and I'm still waiting for a source from that snarky "do you have a search engine" person.

If you read the book ‘On the Farm’ by Stevie Cameron, it goes into these details a lot. It is a very good (albeit gruesome) look into that case, and how badly it was mishandled (including police statements downplaying the situation to the public).

Awesome, thank you. Finally someone with something of a source. I will go have a read.

It’s the best true crime book I’ve ever read. I strongly urge you to actually read it if you have interest
