CLAREMONT: The Trial

S2Bonus Episode: Remembering Jane


Listen Later

Jane Rimmer was a happy, vibrant 23-year-old childcare worker, just starting out in life.

She loved her family, her friends, and she liked to have a good time with them.

And it was on June 8, 1996 that she decided to go out to have a few drinks with her friends in Claremont. That was the last night she was seen alive.

Claremont was the safe, opulent, go-to place for young people in Perth in the 90s. 18-year-old Sarah Spiers had disappeared from the streets of Claremont just five months previously, but that didn't stop hundreds of people flocking to the nightspot that June night.

We saw Jane's last known movements through CCTV vision. As Tim Clarke explains in this bonus episode, the haunting image of Jane's now elderly mother watching her daughter, forever 23 through grainy CCTV vision in court stuck with him.

Sarah Spiers' disappearance was a tragic time for Perth and her family, but it wasn't until Jane Rimmer disappeared that the words serial killer started to echo throughout the city.

Then, when her body was discovered 55 days later in bushland more than 40 kilometres from Claremont, that the police, and Perth's worst fears were realised.

The missing persons case became a murder.

Join Natalie Bonjolo, Tim Clarke and Alison Fan in this bonus episode as they remember Jane Rimmer.
