The Truro Murders

On 25 April 1978, Bill and Valda Thomas were mushrooming in
remote bushland alongside Swamp Road near the South Australian
town of Truro, when they stumbled upon what they thought was the
bone from the leg of a cow. When they couldn't shake the image
from their minds, they returned to the area two days later for
another look. Upon closer inspection, they saw that the bone had
a shoe attached; inside the shoe was human skin and painted
toenails...


Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss this slow-burning case about
a series of missing women who would remain unconnected until the
discovery of several sets of human remains in remote bushland
near Truro in 1979. The disappearances were becoming more
frequent, until they suddenly stopped. Police would discover from
a tip-off there was good reason for that, and their subsequent
interview of a submissive and infatuated wingman would paint a
horrifying picture of a dominant young and charismatic
psychopath.
