On Saturday night, a second girl
went missing from Claremont.
9
00:00:21,103 --> 00:00:23,103
Jane Rimmer, 23.
10
00:00:23,183 --> 00:00:25,183
We're proceeding on the assumption
that the same perpetrator
11
00:00:25,263 --> 00:00:26,663
took Sarah Spiers.

13

he's the guy who raped me.

I think it could be
the same perpetrator.

We might have a living witness.

Dental records have confirmed that
the body found in Wellard yesterday
17
00:00:39,943 --> 00:00:43,583
is that of Jane Rimmer, the second
girl to go missing from Claremont.
18
00:00:43,663 --> 00:00:46,943
We currently hold grave fears
for the safety of a young woman
19
00:00:47,023 --> 00:00:49,663
who was last seen leaving
the Continental Hotel in Claremont
20
00:00:49,743 --> 00:00:52,703
at approximately midnight on Friday.

We certainly have fears.
23
00:00:56,183 --> 00:00:58,583
Ciara's injuries are
consistent with Jane's.
24
00:00:58,663 --> 00:00:59,623

wound to the back of Ciara's head.

consent to a polygraph?

to Queensland.

Exactly. We tracked down the woman
who sold the flat to Lance.
140
00:07:51,023 --> 00:07:53,943
She meant to leave the whole set
behind with the fireplace,
141
00:07:54,023 --> 00:07:56,863
but somehow the poker was packed up
by the removalists.

to Ciara's head, then?

151
00:08:24,263 --> 00:08:25,983

00:08:33,663 --> 00:08:35,223

occurring skull formation

as a murder weapon,

00:08:43,423 --> 00:08:45,263

to review her findings.

00:08:45,343 --> 00:08:46,743

00:08:46,823 --> 00:08:48,743

00:08:53,503 --> 00:08:56,823
OK, he was out on the street
every night, stalking girls.

00:08:56,903 --> 00:08:58,823

00:09:01,623 --> 00:09:03,183

that connects Lance to the murders.

anywhere at the crime scene.

had a suspect...

are three red dots.

Yeah, blood.

00:11:12,263 --> 00:11:14,583
So she's clawing at him so hard
her nail has ripped off.
205
00:11:14,663 --> 00:11:16,583
You'd think she'd have to scrape
some of his skin.
206
00:11:16,663 --> 00:11:18,983
Yeah, but the nail was never
found at the crime scene.

Yes, we tested everything,
and I mean everything.

you took from Lisa in '96.

Her name was Lisa Todd. She was 17.

A year before Sarah went missing,
she was partying in Claremont.
266
00:15:03,023 --> 00:15:05,703
On her way home,
she was grabbed from Rowe Park.
267
00:15:05,783 --> 00:15:08,423
She was taken to
Karrakatta Cemetery and raped.
268
00:15:09,623 --> 00:15:12,463
But the rape kit didn't match
anyone on file at the time.
269
00:15:12,543 --> 00:15:15,943
So this Unknown Male #4, Macro was
onto him as a suspect for Claremont.
270
00:15:16,023 --> 00:15:18,623
What happened?
Well, Lisa was a blitz attack.
271
00:15:18,703 --> 00:15:20,903
It was thought all three girls
willingly got into vehicles.
272
00:15:22,463 --> 00:15:25,023
These are the shorts
she was wearing.
273
00:15:25,103 --> 00:15:27,703
Her T-shirt, underwear, shoes.
274
00:15:27,783 --> 00:15:30,343
And this is the cord
he used to tie her.
275
00:15:30,423 --> 00:15:33,223
But we could never find any evidence
the Claremont killer
276
00:15:33,303 --> 00:15:36,423
tied up any of the three girls,
or attacked them from behind.
277
00:15:38,583 --> 00:15:39,623
What?
278
00:15:40,983 --> 00:15:43,263
We've gone back over
Jane's post-mortem photographs.
279
00:15:43,343 --> 00:15:46,423
There's a mark on her wrist that
suggests she might have been tied up.
280
00:15:46,503 --> 00:15:48,463
But if the girls got into
the vehicle voluntarily,
281
00:15:48,543 --> 00:15:50,463
when did he tie them -
how would that work?
282
00:15:50,543 --> 00:15:52,423
We found other witnesses.
283
00:15:52,503 --> 00:15:55,583
Girls who accepted lifts around
the same time and had close calls.
284
00:15:55,663 --> 00:15:57,343
This one, Katrina Jones.

Late 1995. She'd been at a wedding.

she was trying to get a lift.

00:16:03,543 --> 00:16:05,623
No. As a matter of fact, I'm not.

00:16:05,703 --> 00:16:07,783
He offered her a lift.
She said he seemed nice.

Thanks so much.
291
00:16:09,383 --> 00:16:10,903
She asked what he did for a living.
292
00:16:10,983 --> 00:16:13,063
He said he was a Telstra worker,
like her brother.

DAVE: That's when things went wrong.
Yeah, she said she picked up vibes.
294
00:16:16,063 --> 00:16:17,503
She must have sensed
something was wrong
295
00:16:17,583 --> 00:16:21,303
because she got him to drop her off
five houses back from her car.
296
00:16:21,383 --> 00:16:23,623
Next minute, he was behind her.

299
00:16:32,583 --> 00:16:34,823
She'd already told him
she was a blue belt in taekwondo.
300
00:16:34,903 --> 00:16:36,303
He backed off.
301
00:16:36,383 --> 00:16:37,783
She tried to get his numberplate
302
00:16:37,863 --> 00:16:39,583
but all she had to write with
was lipstick.
303
00:16:39,663 --> 00:16:41,383
So when was this?
Late '95.
304
00:16:41,463 --> 00:16:43,423
So after Karrakatta
but before Sarah.
305
00:16:44,303 --> 00:16:45,703
So that's what happened to Sarah.
306
00:16:45,783 --> 00:16:48,343
He actually drove her
to Mosman Park and let her out.
307
00:16:48,423 --> 00:16:50,743
Then he came up behind her.
308
00:16:50,823 --> 00:16:53,223
So these witnesses. They all
got into a Telstra vehicle?
309
00:16:53,303 --> 00:16:55,623
Or a white vehicle
consistent with that.

We're calling them
the Telstra Living Witnesses.
311
00:16:57,823 --> 00:17:00,903
But after Karrakatta, we asked
Telstra for a list of drivers.
312
00:17:00,983 --> 00:17:03,183
We checked every single one.
313
00:17:03,263 --> 00:17:06,463
In '95, Telstra logos were being
changed over from the old Telecom.
314
00:17:06,543 --> 00:17:09,343
Macro asked for Telstra drivers.
That's what you got.
315
00:17:09,423 --> 00:17:12,383
If the killer was still driving a
Telecom vehicle, he missed the net.
316
00:17:12,463 --> 00:17:13,583
Ha!
317
00:17:15,143 --> 00:17:16,583
That is...
318
00:17:18,223 --> 00:17:19,703

319
00:17:23,663 --> 00:17:25,983
But the problem then
is the problem now.
320
00:17:26,063 --> 00:17:28,223
The Karrakatta rape was unsolved.
321
00:17:28,303 --> 00:17:30,503
How do we identify
Unknown Male #4?
322
00:17:30,583 --> 00:17:33,383
Well, for starters, we're asking
for a list of Telecom drivers
323
00:17:33,463 --> 00:17:35,183
from the '90s,
but that could take some time.
324
00:17:35,263 --> 00:17:37,303
So we're also running his sample
325
00:17:37,383 --> 00:17:40,783
against every single piece of DNA
that Macro ever collected.

the morning before her death,

having got there after that.

may have mistaken for a taxi.

did he stop after Ciara?

He got married.

the stability he needed

to put a stopper to the anger.

We just wanted to ask you
a couple of questions.
704
00:41:05,623 --> 00:41:08,063
Maybe we can just start
at the beginning?
705
00:41:08,143 --> 00:41:09,063
Sure.
706
00:41:09,143 --> 00:41:11,343
Why don't you tell us
about your childhood?
707
00:41:12,983 --> 00:41:15,223
But what does my childhood
have to...
708
00:41:15,303 --> 00:41:16,903
Just to get to know you, you know?
709
00:41:16,983 --> 00:41:19,343
OK. We...
710
00:41:19,423 --> 00:41:21,023
We lived in a van for a while
711
00:41:21,103 --> 00:41:24,263
because my dad was always
travelling for work,
712
00:41:24,343 --> 00:41:26,183
but, um, it was good, you know?
713
00:41:26,263 --> 00:41:27,783
We saw my parents' friends a lot.
714
00:41:27,863 --> 00:41:29,263
Had barbecues on weekends.

Yeah.
Mm.
723
00:42:02,983 --> 00:42:05,263
Yeah, I wasn't the best-looking kid.
I got teased about it.
724
00:42:05,343 --> 00:42:07,263
OK. That's hard.
725
00:42:07,343 --> 00:42:11,103
Mm. So I started wearing
contact lenses when I was about 20.
726
00:42:11,183 --> 00:42:14,383
20. But you wore glasses
before that?

where I was last week.

She lived not far from you
in Huntingdale.

Uh, no, I don't think so.

No.

I remember the name Cosgrove.

swim at their pool or something,

that leaving me

was the worst decision
that she ever made.

was pregnant to this lodger...

June 1996.

Jane Rimmer went missing.

you bought with your first wife

Yeah, for testing.

Yeah, not yet. Neither clothing,
nor jewellery. Not one trophy.

have anything to compare it to

Yeah. And a cargo area in the back?
818

Yeah, there was a caged area
between the driver
819
00:46:54,103 --> 00:46:58,543
and the rear area, but I think every
Telstra vehicle looked like that.

00:49:32,623 --> 00:49:33,903
Can't explain that?
Nuh.
869
00:49:33,983 --> 00:49:35,303
And we found your DNA
870
00:49:35,383 --> 00:49:38,183
on Ciara Glennon, 27 years of age,
871
00:49:38,263 --> 00:49:40,903
murdered March 14th, 1997, OK?
872
00:49:40,983 --> 00:49:42,743
Your DNA is on her.
Impossible.
873
00:49:42,823 --> 00:49:44,223
Can't explain that one either?
No.
874
00:49:44,303 --> 00:49:46,143
Alright. Are you an honest man?
875
00:49:46,223 --> 00:49:47,823
I'm... Yes.
876
00:49:47,903 --> 00:49:50,183
'Cause we interviewed
your stepdaughter.
877
00:49:50,263 --> 00:49:53,183
And she said that your
most-prized virtue is your honesty.
878
00:49:53,263 --> 00:49:55,623
I am being honest.
879
00:49:55,703 --> 00:49:58,303
Are you a man who accepts
responsibility for your actions?
880
00:49:58,383 --> 00:50:00,743
I accept responsibility
for the stuff that I have done,
881
00:50:00,823 --> 00:50:02,623
not for the stuff that I haven't.
882
00:50:07,503 --> 00:50:09,663
Bradley Robert Edwards,
883
00:50:09,743 --> 00:50:13,823
you're now being charged with
the assault on Kylee Cosgrove...
884
00:50:13,903 --> 00:50:15,623
No, you've got the wrong guy.
..in 1988.
885
00:50:15,703 --> 00:50:19,023
The rape of Lisa Todd in 1995
886
00:50:19,103 --> 00:50:21,703
and the murders of
Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon.
887
00:50:21,783 --> 00:50:23,223
I did not do it!
888
00:50:23,303 --> 00:50:25,423
You've got the wrong guy.
889
00:50:27,463 --> 00:50:29,183
TV: I'm here to make
an important announcement...
890
00:50:29,263 --> 00:50:30,703
(PHONE RINGS)
..to the West Australian community.
891
00:50:30,783 --> 00:50:32,023
Detectives from
the Special Crime Squad
892
00:50:32,103 --> 00:50:35,343
have charged
a 48-year-old Kewdale man
893
00:50:35,423 --> 00:50:38,623
with the murders of Jane Rimmer
and Ciara Glennon, and attacks...
894
00:50:38,703 --> 00:50:40,143
Gav.
..on other young women.
895
00:50:40,223 --> 00:50:42,983
This has already been the biggest...
You watching this?
896
00:50:43,063 --> 00:50:45,183
..and most complex police
investigation in WA's history.
897
00:50:45,263 --> 00:50:46,623
Congratulations, Gav.
898
00:50:46,703 --> 00:50:49,703
Hundreds of police officers...
Now we have to convict him.
899
00:50:49,783 --> 00:50:51,503
..over the past 20 years.
You will.
900
00:50:51,583 --> 00:50:56,263
The commitment of the WA Police
and its officers have never wavered.
901
00:50:56,343 --> 00:50:58,903
We never give up.
902
00:50:58,983 --> 00:51:01,383
He didn't confess and he's pleading
not guilty to every charge.
903
00:51:01,463 --> 00:51:03,983
There's nothing in any of the houses
that links him to the girls.
904
00:51:04,063 --> 00:51:05,943
Not one trophy,
not one hair, nothing.
905
00:51:06,023 --> 00:51:08,103
Just tell him you got
something from his car.
906
00:51:08,183 --> 00:51:10,343
Yeah, we found this.
907
00:51:12,543 --> 00:51:13,663
You see it?
908
00:51:13,743 --> 00:51:14,663
Yeah.
909
00:51:14,743 --> 00:51:16,983
But that doesn't link him
to any of the girls.
910
00:51:17,063 --> 00:51:17,983
You got anything else?
911
00:51:18,063 --> 00:51:20,183
There was no blood or hair from them
in the car.
912
00:51:20,263 --> 00:51:21,383
How can there be no blood?
913
00:51:21,463 --> 00:51:23,703
Well, he must have killed them
where we found them.
914
00:51:23,783 --> 00:51:27,463
But the fibres on Jane and Ciara
match, OK?
915
00:51:27,543 --> 00:51:30,223
These grey ones
were found in the carpet
916
00:51:30,303 --> 00:51:32,863
on the car floor and back well
of a Holden Commodore.
917
00:51:32,943 --> 00:51:36,183
And on the handle that adjusts
the driver's seat,
918
00:51:36,263 --> 00:51:38,503
13 blue fibres we can't ID yet.
919
00:51:38,583 --> 00:51:41,263
But I had an idea about them.
920
00:51:44,223 --> 00:51:45,223
You see it?
921
00:51:45,303 --> 00:51:47,023
The shorts.
922
00:51:47,103 --> 00:51:50,463
Yeah. These could be the source
of the blue fibres.
923
00:51:50,543 --> 00:51:54,543
We've just got to find someone
who kept a pair since 1995.
924
00:51:54,623 --> 00:51:57,583
I swear, OK? I didn't have
anything to do with it.
925
00:51:57,663 --> 00:52:01,983
It's just like with that other guy,
that...public servant that they...
926
00:52:02,063 --> 00:52:04,103
Lance Williams.
That's it.
927
00:52:04,183 --> 00:52:06,503
Yeah. That's what the cops do.
928
00:52:06,583 --> 00:52:08,703
They get tunnel vision,
they zone in on a guy.
929
00:52:08,783 --> 00:52:11,143
But why'd they pick you, Dad?
I don't know.
930
00:52:11,223 --> 00:52:14,823
They're saying that they've got
my DNA from an attack in 1988.
931
00:52:14,903 --> 00:52:17,543
What's that, 30 years ago?
932
00:52:17,623 --> 00:52:19,503
They're just trying to stitch me up,
you'll see.
933
00:52:19,583 --> 00:52:22,023
We'll keep supporting you, Brad.
Don't worry.
934
00:52:22,103 --> 00:52:25,343
So will Mum and Dad.
We all believe you.
935
00:52:31,423 --> 00:52:33,143
I-I don't understand
how he isn't charged
936
00:52:33,223 --> 00:52:37,343
with Sarah's...
with her...her murder.
937
00:52:40,183 --> 00:52:43,343
There's still nothing concrete
that links him with Sarah, yet.
938
00:52:44,703 --> 00:52:46,943
You need a body.
939
00:52:47,023 --> 00:52:48,223
No.
940
00:52:49,503 --> 00:52:51,303
Not necessarily.
941
00:52:52,543 --> 00:52:54,863
But we could use more evidence.
942
00:52:54,943 --> 00:52:57,743
Do you have any kids?
943
00:53:01,303 --> 00:53:02,543
No.

fear the big city.

But our girls didn't.
947
00:53:15,823 --> 00:53:17,543
They were just so...
948
00:53:19,583 --> 00:53:20,903
..alive.
949
00:53:23,103 --> 00:53:25,103
But we worried for them and...
950
00:53:26,303 --> 00:53:30,743
..we bought them a flat in a nice
part of town and a good car
951
00:53:30,823 --> 00:53:34,543
and tried to keep them safe.
952
00:53:34,623 --> 00:53:36,823
Still, just...
953
00:53:38,023 --> 00:53:39,623
..life just...
954
00:53:42,103 --> 00:53:43,463
..blows up.
955
00:53:45,783 --> 00:53:48,103
It's just your worst fear.
956
00:53:59,263 --> 00:54:01,223
Don't let 'em forget about her.
957
00:54:03,663 --> 00:54:06,823
Charge the bastard for those other
girls and forget about Sarah.
958
00:54:08,983 --> 00:54:11,503
I'll make sure they don't.

GAVIN: I think
she must have seen his car.
970
00:54:46,903 --> 00:54:49,383
It looked like a cab.
She'd just called one.
971
00:54:49,463 --> 00:54:52,463
So she got in and only after he
started out did she realise that...
972
00:54:52,543 --> 00:54:54,663
..it wasn't a cab.
973
00:54:54,743 --> 00:54:56,383
Yeah, she would have panicked then.

he must have sweet-talked her.

so somehow he got her to stay quiet.

That's what we always thought,
977
00:55:05,743 --> 00:55:09,463
but how are you gonna prove
Sarah got in his car?
978
00:55:09,543 --> 00:55:12,263
I'll prove it. I'll prove it.

We don't know what really happened
that night. No-one does.

Sarah ran off with a guy

or went for a midnight swim
and drowned or any...
982
00:55:23,743 --> 00:55:27,543
I don't really care what defence
has to say. She got in his car.
983
00:55:27,623 --> 00:55:31,063
But you have to be able to prove it.

A Telstra tech named Jeff Cohen
kept these since 1995.
989
00:55:51,503 --> 00:55:52,823
Never even worn them.
990

ChemCentre tested them
and the fibres from the dye lot
991
00:55:55,983 --> 00:55:59,103
are an exact match to the fibres
found on Jane, Lisa and Ciara.
992
00:55:59,183 --> 00:56:00,703
This blue is unique to Telstra?
993
00:56:00,783 --> 00:56:02,823
The dye was developed
exclusively for them.
994
00:56:02,903 --> 00:56:05,663
A different blue from police
uniforms or any other tradies.
995
00:56:05,743 --> 00:56:08,663
This puts a Telstra worker
at the scene of all three crimes.

997
00:56:09,743 --> 00:56:12,623
Car fibres, these, they're good,
but they're circumstantial.
998
00:56:12,703 --> 00:56:14,543
This could be
from any Telstra worker.
999
00:56:14,623 --> 00:56:17,823
Only the DNA on Ciara's nail
puts Edwards there.
1000
00:56:17,903 --> 00:56:19,223
That's enough, right?
1001
00:56:19,303 --> 00:56:22,223
The lawyer that Edwards hired,
Paul Yovich, he's smart.
1002
00:56:22,303 --> 00:56:24,823
He knows he'll have to create
doubt about the DNA.
1003
00:56:24,903 --> 00:56:26,743
If I were Yovich,
1004
00:56:26,823 --> 00:56:29,383
I'd suggest there might have been
cross-contamination at the lab.
1005
00:56:29,463 --> 00:56:30,663
Can he prove that?
1006
00:56:30,743 --> 00:56:33,743
I'm afraid PathWest has a history
of cross-contamination.
1007
00:56:33,823 --> 00:56:37,223
But don't worry, I still think
that we can convict him
1008
00:56:37,303 --> 00:56:39,063
for Jane and Ciara's murder.
1009
00:56:39,143 --> 00:56:41,863
What about Sarah? You've gotta get
Sarah on the brief.
1010
00:56:41,943 --> 00:56:43,863
You can't let him walk on her.
1011
00:56:43,943 --> 00:56:47,263
Once we prove Edwards' guilt
on Jane and Ciara with the same MO,
1012
00:56:47,343 --> 00:56:49,143
the same propensity of evidence,
1013
00:56:49,223 --> 00:56:52,183
we should be able
to connect him to Sarah.
1014
00:56:52,263 --> 00:56:54,343
So you're going to add Sarah
to the charge brief?
1015
00:56:54,423 --> 00:56:57,543
Yes. The Spiers deserve that.
1016
00:56:57,623 --> 00:56:59,223
But prepare yourself.
1017
00:56:59,303 --> 00:57:02,583
Justice Hall could still dismiss
her charge for lack of evidence.
1018
00:57:02,663 --> 00:57:03,583
Don't let him.
1019
00:57:03,663 --> 00:57:05,983
Then I suggest, Detective,
that you get me some more evidence
1020
00:57:06,063 --> 00:57:08,703
connecting Edwards to Sarah Spiers.
1021
00:57:18,023 --> 00:57:20,063
Doesn't matter
how many times you look at it,
1022
00:57:20,143 --> 00:57:21,663
you still can't tell it's Edwards.
1023
00:57:24,023 --> 00:57:25,503
It could be him.
1024
00:57:27,583 --> 00:57:29,503
If he'd just turn around.
1025
00:57:36,423 --> 00:57:38,023
Have you seen this?
1026
00:57:39,423 --> 00:57:41,183
I didn't even know he was sick.

00:57:44,663 --> 00:57:46,663

00:57:49,343 --> 00:57:50,783
Remember?
1030
00:57:52,423 --> 00:57:54,103
I said it was him.
1031
00:57:56,983 --> 00:57:59,823
I was so sure.
1032
00:57:59,903 --> 00:58:01,943
So was I.
1033
00:58:05,383 --> 00:58:09,743
You know, if Lance had picked up
Jane or any of those girls...
1034
00:58:12,543 --> 00:58:14,623
..they'd still be alive.
1035
00:58:17,743 --> 00:58:19,463
But now you've got the right guy.
1036
00:58:20,583 --> 00:58:22,023
You have his DNA.
1037
00:58:22,103 --> 00:58:24,383
No way is he getting out of this.
1038
00:58:26,023 --> 00:58:28,383
That's the thing, I didn't have
anything to do with the murders,
1039
00:58:28,463 --> 00:58:29,383
I swear.
1040
00:58:29,463 --> 00:58:32,183
And I've been thinking.
I want to give evidence.
1041
00:58:32,263 --> 00:58:34,303
I want to...
I want to say that at trial.
1042
00:58:34,383 --> 00:58:37,343
If you do that, you could be on
the stand for six months in cross.
1043
00:58:37,423 --> 00:58:38,823
And they can ask you anything.
1044
00:58:38,903 --> 00:58:41,423
You have to answer,
in detail and under oath.
1045
00:58:41,503 --> 00:58:42,783
I can do that.
1046
00:58:42,863 --> 00:58:45,383
Look, it is your decision in the end.
Could you stop doing that?
1047
00:58:45,463 --> 00:58:48,023
Listen to me. Putting you
on the stand, in my opinion,
1048
00:58:48,103 --> 00:58:49,463
that would be a mistake.
1049
00:58:49,543 --> 00:58:51,623
They'll push you hard, Bradley.
1050
00:58:51,703 --> 00:58:53,143
OK.
1051
00:58:53,223 --> 00:58:56,383
But all this time being locked up,
1052
00:58:56,463 --> 00:58:59,623
I've been searching my conscience
1053
00:58:59,703 --> 00:59:02,823
and I want to plead guilty
1054
00:59:02,903 --> 00:59:06,983
to the assaults at Huntingdale
and Karrakatta.
1055
00:59:07,063 --> 00:59:08,383
Guilty?
1056
00:59:08,463 --> 00:59:14,023
Yep. Yep. I was a different person
back then. I snapped.
1057
00:59:14,103 --> 00:59:16,743
It wasn't really me.
1058
00:59:20,063 --> 00:59:22,743
Plus they've got that DNA
at both the crime scenes, right?
1059
00:59:22,823 --> 00:59:25,383
That'll hold up in court?
Mm.
1060
00:59:25,463 --> 00:59:27,423
Those samples have been locked away
for 20 years.
1061
00:59:27,503 --> 00:59:30,263
They'll be convincing.
Right. So that's what I'm thinking.
1062
00:59:30,343 --> 00:59:32,823
Bradley, I can't be a party
to any lies.
1063
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:33,903
I'm not lying.
1064
00:59:35,823 --> 00:59:41,223
I did the assaults, but I didn't do
the murders. I couldn't do that.
1065
00:59:41,303 --> 00:59:42,703
I'm not guilty of murder.
1066
00:59:42,783 --> 00:59:44,663
It's just the cops
are pinning it on me
1067
00:59:44,743 --> 00:59:45,863
because they want to blame somebody.
1068
00:59:45,943 --> 00:59:47,543
So if you plead guilty
to the assaults,
1069
00:59:47,623 --> 00:59:49,583
you plead early,
you save the court time and money.
1070
00:59:49,663 --> 00:59:51,423
You could get a reduced sentence.
1071
00:59:51,503 --> 00:59:53,103
And of course with time in custody,
1072
00:59:53,183 --> 00:59:55,903
probably looking at
three or four years.
1073
00:59:55,983 --> 00:59:57,143
That's it?
1074
00:59:57,223 --> 00:59:59,703
And if I can prove
the cross-contamination of DNA
1075
00:59:59,783 --> 01:00:03,263
taken from Ciara Glennon,
you could be out before you're 55.
1076
01:00:07,703 --> 01:00:08,623
So...
1077
01:00:08,703 --> 01:00:13,063
So...what about before,
pleading not guilty to the assaults?
1078
01:00:13,143 --> 01:00:14,623
Can that work against me?
1079
01:00:14,703 --> 01:00:16,743
No, there's no law
against lying to the police.
1080
01:00:16,823 --> 01:00:19,143
Justice Hall can't let
lying about an earlier crime
1081
01:00:19,223 --> 01:00:20,983
influence his decision
about the murders.
1082
01:00:21,063 --> 01:00:26,503
Right. So pleading guilty to
the assaults is my best way forward?
1083
01:00:26,583 --> 01:00:28,863
If it's the truth.
That's the truth.
1084
01:00:30,063 --> 01:00:31,983
In a shock announcement today,
Bradley Edwards,
1085
01:00:32,063 --> 01:00:33,783
the accused Claremont serial killer,
1086
01:00:33,863 --> 01:00:39,503
is now pleading guilty to rape and
assault charges from 1988 and 1995.
1087
01:00:39,583 --> 01:00:43,183
Since his arrest, Mr Edwards has
steadfastly insisted his innocence.
1088
01:00:43,263 --> 01:00:46,423
And though he is now pleading guilty
to the rape and assault charges,
1089
01:00:46,503 --> 01:00:49,703
he still maintains
that he never killed anyone,
1090
01:00:49,783 --> 01:00:52,783
and will fight those charges
to the utmost of his abilities.
1091
01:00:52,863 --> 01:00:53,783
Four years?
1092
01:00:53,863 --> 01:00:55,983
With time in custody,
that's the minimum he could get
1093
01:00:56,063 --> 01:00:57,063
for the assault and rape.
1094
01:00:57,143 --> 01:01:00,223
For everything he did, four years?
That won't happen.
1095
01:01:00,303 --> 01:01:01,743
Conviction on the murder charges
1096
01:01:01,823 --> 01:01:03,783
will get him life
with no chance of parole.
1097
01:01:03,863 --> 01:01:05,183
If the DNA doesn't get thrown out
1098
01:01:05,263 --> 01:01:07,183
on some bullshit contamination
argument. Gav, we'll get him.
1099
01:01:07,263 --> 01:01:08,783
We haven't got him
for 20 years, Nik.
1100
01:01:08,863 --> 01:01:11,623
This guy's had the devil's luck and
I'm not certain it's run out yet.
1101
01:01:15,383 --> 01:01:18,143
REPORTER: People lined up outside
the court before sunrise,
1102
01:01:18,223 --> 01:01:19,783
hoping for a front-row seat.
1103
01:01:19,863 --> 01:01:21,543
REPORTER: ..chilling day of evidence
1104
01:01:21,623 --> 01:01:23,743
from the opening
of the Claremont serial killings.
1105
01:01:23,823 --> 01:01:25,743
REPORTER: ..with a high level
of public interest.
1106
01:01:25,823 --> 01:01:27,663
REPORTER: Edwards is charged
with the murders
1107
01:01:27,743 --> 01:01:28,943
of Sarah Spiers, Jane Rimmer...
1108
01:01:29,023 --> 01:01:31,783
REPORTER: ..trial by judge alone.
The three women disappeared...
1109
01:01:31,863 --> 01:01:33,943
If Trevor was alive, he'd be here.
1110
01:01:34,023 --> 01:01:36,143
He loved Janey so much.
1111
01:01:36,223 --> 01:01:37,943
We pray for Ciara all the time.
1112
01:01:38,023 --> 01:01:40,903
When Una and I see a girl
around her...her age,
1113
01:01:40,983 --> 01:01:42,823
we think of her still.
1114
01:01:42,903 --> 01:01:47,583
Sarah had something different
about her to most other kids.
1115
01:01:47,663 --> 01:01:51,623
She had this lovely warmth
about her, didn't she?
1116
01:01:51,703 --> 01:01:52,983
Yeah.
1117
01:01:53,063 --> 01:01:54,943
ALISON: The trial of the century
1118
01:01:55,023 --> 01:01:57,383
in Western Australia
gets underway today.
1119
01:01:57,463 --> 01:01:59,863
The amount of evidence
that's been gathered for this case
1120
01:01:59,943 --> 01:02:01,383
has been staggering.
1121
01:02:01,463 --> 01:02:04,623
Over 16,000 DNA samples
have been taken.
1122
01:02:04,703 --> 01:02:07,743
200 witnesses are expected
to be called,
1123
01:02:07,823 --> 01:02:10,903
with 10,000 pages
of interview transcripts.
1124
01:02:10,983 --> 01:02:14,943
110 gigabytes
of prosecution disclosures,
1125
01:02:15,023 --> 01:02:17,343
a million pages of evidence.
1126
01:02:17,423 --> 01:02:22,223
The DNA and fibre evidence alone is
said to be over 60,000 pages long.
1127
01:02:40,703 --> 01:02:45,503
In a 14-month period,
three bright, beautiful young women
1128
01:02:45,583 --> 01:02:48,063
vanished from the streets
of Claremont.
1129
01:02:49,383 --> 01:02:51,343
There were so many questions
1130
01:02:51,423 --> 01:02:53,903
for which the lack of answers
cemented a fear
1131
01:02:53,983 --> 01:02:56,263
that ran through the community,
1132
01:02:56,343 --> 01:03:01,343
a fear that was caused
by an enigma of the dark.
1133
01:03:03,463 --> 01:03:07,743
In the coming months,
the state will demystify this enigma
1134
01:03:07,823 --> 01:03:11,263
and prove that there was one killer.
1135
01:03:11,343 --> 01:03:16,543
And that killer
is Bradley Robert Edwards.
1136
01:03:16,623 --> 01:03:20,463
The deaths of these young women
were unlawful killings.
1137
01:03:20,543 --> 01:03:22,663
There is no doubt
or dispute about that.
1138
01:03:22,743 --> 01:03:26,023
The issue is the identity
of the killer,
1139
01:03:26,103 --> 01:03:30,183
and Bradley Edwards' defence
in each case is that.
1140
01:03:30,263 --> 01:03:31,863
It wasn't him.
1141
01:03:33,743 --> 01:03:37,343
(UNSETTLING SOUNDSCAPE)
1142
01:03:44,623 --> 01:03:46,943
WOMAN: We were happy
in the marriage at first.
1143
01:03:47,023 --> 01:03:50,743
Um, but then he became obsessed
with his computer.
1144
01:03:50,823 --> 01:03:52,943
So, yeah, he would come home
from work
1145
01:03:53,023 --> 01:03:55,423
and disappear into the spare room.
1146
01:03:55,503 --> 01:03:58,223
He wasn't interested in me
1147
01:03:58,303 --> 01:04:03,463
and he wasn't present
in the marriage, and stuff happened.
1148
01:04:03,543 --> 01:04:06,063
Oh! (GIGGLES)
1149
01:04:06,143 --> 01:04:08,983
MAN: We were laughing
and then she kissed me.
1150
01:04:10,103 --> 01:04:12,023
Or I kissed her. I...
1151
01:04:12,103 --> 01:04:13,303
I can't remember.
1152
01:04:13,383 --> 01:04:16,383
He didn't say anything. He just...
1153
01:04:17,423 --> 01:04:18,783
..walked away.
1154
01:04:22,583 --> 01:04:25,983
You are one of what has become known
as the 'Living Witnesses'.
1155
01:04:26,063 --> 01:04:27,703
Yeah.
1156
01:04:27,783 --> 01:04:31,263
And what happened to you
in November of 1996?
1157
01:04:31,343 --> 01:04:35,463
I'd been at Club Bayview.
I'd had a bit to drink.
1158
01:04:35,543 --> 01:04:41,063
Um, and there were no cabs, but
I was trying to get to Shenton Park.
1159
01:04:41,143 --> 01:04:44,023
I didn't care how, you know?
It was a different time back then.
1160
01:04:44,103 --> 01:04:45,823
We didn't worry
about things like that.
1161
01:04:45,903 --> 01:04:51,743
But then I saw a car, and it looked
like a taxi, and the driver stopped.
1162
01:04:51,823 --> 01:04:53,623
What kind of car was it?
1163
01:04:53,703 --> 01:04:56,823
It looked like
a Holden station wagon.
1164
01:04:57,943 --> 01:05:00,063
Can you give me a lift
to Shenton Park?
1165
01:05:00,143 --> 01:05:01,103
EDWARDS: Sure.
1166
01:05:02,143 --> 01:05:04,343
Ugh!
(DOOR SHUTS)
1167
01:05:04,423 --> 01:05:06,583
Oh, hey, this isn't a taxi.
1168
01:05:06,663 --> 01:05:08,343
Oh, that's alright.
I'll take you there anyway.
1169
01:05:08,423 --> 01:05:11,103
I didn't feel unsafe,
1170
01:05:11,183 --> 01:05:13,903
but something made me say that
I'd left my shoes up on the road...
1171
01:05:13,983 --> 01:05:15,503
My shoes! I left my shoes!
1172
01:05:15,583 --> 01:05:17,743
..and would it be OK
if I went to grab them?
1173
01:05:19,823 --> 01:05:24,823
So I grabbed my shoes and two guys
that I'd been drinking with...
1174
01:05:25,863 --> 01:05:27,783
Is it OK if you take these guys too?
1175
01:05:27,863 --> 01:05:29,583
We're all going to the same place.
1176
01:05:29,663 --> 01:05:34,823
He didn't say anything.
He just drove us to Shenton Park.
1177
01:05:34,903 --> 01:05:37,303
Did you notice anything
about the car?
1178
01:05:39,223 --> 01:05:44,063
It was a Telecom Telstra car.
1179
01:05:50,383 --> 01:05:53,183
When the sample labelled AJM40,
1180
01:05:53,263 --> 01:05:55,663
the sample taken
from Ciara Glennon's nail,
1181
01:05:55,743 --> 01:05:59,423
was finally tested,
did you recover male DNA from it?
1182
01:05:59,503 --> 01:06:00,623
Yes, we did.
1183
01:06:00,703 --> 01:06:01,983
What was the result?
1184
01:06:02,063 --> 01:06:05,743
The DNA matched the profile
of the defendant, Bradley Edwards.
1185
01:06:07,863 --> 01:06:11,823
To clarify, when sample AJM40
was originally taken,
1186
01:06:11,903 --> 01:06:13,463
how was it labelled?
1187
01:06:14,503 --> 01:06:16,983
What was written on the label
of the container in 1997?
1188
01:06:17,063 --> 01:06:18,263
Uh...
1189
01:06:18,343 --> 01:06:22,063
'Debris only.
Not suitable for analysis.'
1190
01:06:22,143 --> 01:06:25,503
Not suitable for analysis.
And yet more than 10 years later,
1191
01:06:25,583 --> 01:06:27,223
somehow miraculously
it's suitable for testing.
1192
01:06:27,303 --> 01:06:29,303
Not miraculously.
1193
01:06:29,383 --> 01:06:31,743
The advancements in DNA technology
in the past...
1194
01:06:31,823 --> 01:06:34,463
But at the time,
when it was first handled,
1195
01:06:34,543 --> 01:06:36,383
it was labelled 'Debris only'.
1196
01:06:40,583 --> 01:06:44,023
Have you considered the possibility
of cross-contamination in your lab,
1197
01:06:44,103 --> 01:06:46,023
where a bit of DNA gets somewhere
where it shouldn't?
1198
01:06:46,103 --> 01:06:48,343
Perhaps the right protocols
aren't being used
1199
01:06:48,423 --> 01:06:52,023
and perhaps the same pair of gloves
are being worn for two experiments.
1200
01:06:52,103 --> 01:06:55,943
Of course we consider it,
and we take all necessary precautions
1201
01:06:56,023 --> 01:06:59,343
to make sure contamination
doesn't happen, but in this case...
1202
01:06:59,423 --> 01:07:02,343
Doesn't PathWest have a poor record
of cross-contamination?
1203
01:07:02,423 --> 01:07:04,503
I would say, of the hundreds
and thousands of tests,
1204
01:07:04,583 --> 01:07:06,103
we have a very good record of...
1205
01:07:06,183 --> 01:07:09,343
When intimate swabs collected
from Jane Rimmer were analysed
1206
01:07:09,423 --> 01:07:13,023
in 2017 by UK laboratory Cellmark,
1207
01:07:13,103 --> 01:07:16,143
did they show the DNA profile
matching that of a male -
1208
01:07:16,223 --> 01:07:18,463
not you, sir - PathWest scientist?
1209
01:07:18,543 --> 01:07:19,943
Yes, they did.
1210
01:07:20,023 --> 01:07:24,103
When intimate swabs collected from
Ciara Glennon were analysed in 2017,
1211
01:07:24,183 --> 01:07:27,823
did they yield the profile
of yet another - not you, sir -
1212
01:07:27,903 --> 01:07:29,503
PathWest scientist?
1213
01:07:32,663 --> 01:07:33,623
Yes.
1214
01:07:33,703 --> 01:07:36,303
And we've all seen videos
collected from the crime scene.
1215
01:07:36,383 --> 01:07:39,263
Police officers not wearing gloves.
1216
01:07:39,343 --> 01:07:42,543
No shoe protection.
No forensic overalls.
1217
01:07:42,623 --> 01:07:44,343
It was a different time.
1218
01:07:44,423 --> 01:07:45,863
Indeed it was.
1219
01:07:48,183 --> 01:07:49,703
When Mr Edwards was employed
at Telstra,
1220
01:07:49,783 --> 01:07:52,263
was he ever called to PathWest
to repair the phones?
1221
01:07:57,383 --> 01:07:59,983
Not...not to my knowledge, no.
1222
01:08:01,503 --> 01:08:03,743
Not to your knowledge.
1223
01:08:05,583 --> 01:08:07,663
There were bombshells in court today
where cross-contamination claims
1224
01:08:07,743 --> 01:08:10,183
had the prosecution on their heels.
1225
01:08:10,263 --> 01:08:12,623
The verdict in this case
seems to be in the balance.
1226
01:08:12,703 --> 01:08:14,503
Hey, what's all this rubbish
you're broadcasting about?
1227
01:08:14,583 --> 01:08:17,983
Do you really believe there's
cross-contamination of his DNA?
1228
01:08:18,063 --> 01:08:19,423
I'm just reporting what was said.
1229
01:08:19,503 --> 01:08:22,103
He murdered three women.
Are you trying to help get him off?
1230
01:08:22,183 --> 01:08:23,743
I'm just reporting
what was said in court.
1231
01:08:23,823 --> 01:08:27,743
Listen, people don't want
to speak to you anymore, OK?
1232
01:08:27,823 --> 01:08:29,703
They're fuckin' pissed off.
1233
01:08:29,783 --> 01:08:33,183
You heard the evidence.
Edwards might be acquitted.
1234
01:08:33,263 --> 01:08:36,023
Everyone needs to be
prepared for that.
1235
01:08:40,623 --> 01:08:42,583
JUDGE: Mr Yovich,
the State has closed.
1236
01:08:42,663 --> 01:08:44,663
Is the defence ready to proceed?
1237
01:08:46,103 --> 01:08:48,063
Your Honour, the defence is closed.
1238
01:08:48,143 --> 01:08:50,663
What? You're not going
to be calling any witnesses?
1239
01:08:50,743 --> 01:08:54,583
No, Your Honour. We will address
the case in our closing statement.
1240
01:08:54,663 --> 01:08:57,263
Mr Edwards, can you please stand?
1241
01:09:01,943 --> 01:09:03,983
The decision to give evidence
is entirely yours,
1242
01:09:04,063 --> 01:09:06,583
but given the importance
of this case,
1243
01:09:06,663 --> 01:09:09,383
do you wish to make any statement
in your own defence?
1244
01:09:09,463 --> 01:09:11,463
No, Your Honour.
1245
01:09:17,503 --> 01:09:18,943
Nearly seven months ago,
1246
01:09:19,023 --> 01:09:22,063
the State made reference
to an enigma of the dark
1247
01:09:22,143 --> 01:09:25,423
and promised to shed light
on that enigma.
1248
01:09:25,503 --> 01:09:28,023
It's the forensic evidence
that has cast light
1249
01:09:28,103 --> 01:09:30,623
and unmasked a killer.
1250
01:09:30,703 --> 01:09:33,623
The fibres, the DNA.
1251
01:09:34,863 --> 01:09:38,783
One offender
is responsible for the murders
1252
01:09:38,863 --> 01:09:43,463
of Sarah Spiers, Jane Rimmer
and Ciara Glennon.
1253
01:09:43,543 --> 01:09:50,263
Bradley Robert Edwards, we say,
is the Claremont killer.
1254
01:09:50,343 --> 01:09:53,623
One fifth of one billionth
of one gram.
1255
01:09:54,903 --> 01:09:57,903
That's how much DNA was found
on Ciara Glennon's nail.
1256
01:09:59,063 --> 01:10:01,303
Your Honour, are you able
to be satisfied,
1257
01:10:01,383 --> 01:10:04,943
beyond reasonable doubt,
the DNA finding is only explicable
1258
01:10:05,023 --> 01:10:08,823
on the basis that the accused
killed Ciara Glennon?
1259
01:10:08,903 --> 01:10:10,823
Contamination events are rare,
1260
01:10:10,903 --> 01:10:14,743
but they do happen,
and they only have to happen once.
1261
01:10:14,823 --> 01:10:16,943
The carpet fibres, the pant fibres,
1262
01:10:17,023 --> 01:10:19,583
they could come from
any Telstra employee.
1263
01:10:19,663 --> 01:10:22,903
The only actual evidence that my
client might be the Claremont killer
1264
01:10:22,983 --> 01:10:25,543
is the DNA that was found
on Ciara Glennon's nail.
1265
01:10:26,943 --> 01:10:30,663
Are you willing, Your Honour,
to put a man in jail
1266
01:10:30,743 --> 01:10:32,983
for the rest of his life
on that evidence?
1267

REPORTER:
After a 20-year police investigation
1275
01:11:57,983 --> 01:12:00,983
and subsequent seven-month
Supreme Court trial,
1276
01:12:01,063 --> 01:12:02,343
we'll finally get a verdict...
1277
01:12:02,423 --> 01:12:04,103
REPORT: The Claremont
serial killings trial...
1278
01:12:04,183 --> 01:12:08,743
Onlookers came here earlier today,
queuing up on the steps...
1279
01:12:08,823 --> 01:12:11,343
This is a trial like no other.
1280
01:12:13,983 --> 01:12:17,223
It's a trial like no other because of
its size and high degree of interest.
1281
01:12:20,023 --> 01:12:23,543
Three women went missing
from a popular nightlife area
1282
01:12:23,623 --> 01:12:25,943
frequented by many young people.
1283
01:12:26,023 --> 01:12:30,223
It inspired a pervasive fear
in the entire Perth community.
1284
01:12:30,303 --> 01:12:33,263
But it's a trial like every other,
1285
01:12:33,343 --> 01:12:36,303
because the accused
is presumed innocent
1286
01:12:36,383 --> 01:12:39,903
and the State must prove its case
beyond reasonable doubt.
1287
01:12:39,983 --> 01:12:42,663
I am satisfied
that the evidence
1288
01:12:42,743 --> 01:12:46,663
establishes that each of the victims
was abducted and killed.
1289
01:12:46,743 --> 01:12:51,863
The issue therefore is the identity
of the killer, or killers.
1290
01:12:51,943 --> 01:12:57,143
Having regard to the DNA evidence
and the propensity evidence,
1291
01:12:57,223 --> 01:12:59,343
I am satisfied
beyond reasonable doubt
1292
01:12:59,423 --> 01:13:03,543
that Bradley Edwards was the killer
of Ms Rimmer and Ms Glennon.
1293
01:13:05,583 --> 01:13:10,303
Mr Edwards chose semi-rural locations
and hid the bodies
1294
01:13:10,383 --> 01:13:13,503
with the intention of minimising
the chances of them being found
1295
01:13:13,583 --> 01:13:16,303
and his offences being discovered.
1296
01:13:19,063 --> 01:13:22,383
In respect of Ms Spiers, I have
reached the following conclusions.
1297
01:13:25,063 --> 01:13:26,703
There are some similarities
1298
01:13:26,783 --> 01:13:29,863
between the circumstances
of Ms Spiers' disappearance
1299
01:13:29,943 --> 01:13:32,823
and the death of
Ms Rimmer and Ms Glennon.
1300
01:13:32,903 --> 01:13:36,703
But they do not allow
for a conclusion to be reached
1301
01:13:36,783 --> 01:13:41,183
that the person responsible for the
killing of Ms Glennon and Ms Rimmer
1302
01:13:41,263 --> 01:13:45,663
must necessarily be the same person
as who killed Ms Spiers.
1303
01:13:45,743 --> 01:13:49,143
The propensity of evidence
suggests it is likely
1304
01:13:49,223 --> 01:13:51,143
that the accused was the killer.
1305
01:13:52,663 --> 01:13:55,463
But it cannot be proved
beyond reasonable doubt.
1306
01:13:57,823 --> 01:14:01,423
So, based on those findings,
the verdict must be...
1307
01:14:01,503 --> 01:14:03,703
..on count six,
1308
01:14:03,783 --> 01:14:08,503
the wilful murder of Sarah Spiers,
not guilty.

of Ciara's age,
1312

well, we think of her still.

Ciara would fight for her life.

1315

well, how...prophetic
those words would be.
1316
01:16:19,943 --> 01:16:21,303
It's hard to understand.
1317
01:16:23,263 --> 01:16:29,023
We interviewed 16,000 men
and his name never came up.
1318
01:16:30,663 --> 01:16:32,663
He was never on our radar.
1319
01:16:35,783 --> 01:16:39,943
And it's hard not to wonder
what Sarah's life...
1320
01:16:41,183 --> 01:16:44,343
..and ours would be like
if she hadn't been taken from us.
