Between May 1980 and November 1981, the skeletal remains of six women were found hidden in scrubland at Frankston, in bayside Melbourne, and at Tynong North, south-east of Melbourne. The victims ranged in age from 14 to 73 years old. The women didn't have much in common, except that they were on foot when they were taken, with the majority intending to take public transport during the daytime.

At times, investigators believed as many as three people could be responsible for the murders but ultimately decided this was the work of one person. That person remains unidentified.
