October 5, 2026

After 30 years since Ivan Milat's conviction for the murders of seven travelers in Australia, new evidence suggests possible connections to 31 unsolved cases. A parliamentary inquiry in New South Wales is examining his involvement, though no guilt is proven. The committee chair noted that the police had investigated an additional 17 murders and 14 disappearances. Despite the suspicions, authorities have not concluded on their handling of the matters. The murders in Belanglo State Forest remain among the most notorious crimes in Australia.
