The backpacker murders were a string of serial killings that took place in New South Wales, Australia, starting in the late 80s. The bodies of young hitchhikers, some male and some female, were discovered partly buried in the Belanglo State Forest. The mystery killer had murdered his victims by shooting or frenzy stabbing–one of the victims had even been decapitated with some kind of machete or sword. Police suspected they had a serial killer on their hands and launched search groups to comb through the forest and the area around it. In the end, they stumbled upon a total of seven killings. What struck them as peculiar was the fact that a small brick fireplace could be found at each murder site. Police accumulated a list of suspects and brought them to the station. A man named Paul Onions, who had managed to escape the notorious Backpack Murder in 1990, flew to Australia and was shown a video lineup. He identified Ivan Milat as the man who tried to kill him. Police investigated Ivan and eventually gathered enough evidence to tie him to the murders. Ivan plead not-guilty, but in the end received six life sentences.
