We left last week just after the body of Natalie Russell was found, the third victim of the

Frankston serial killer. And police had the register known as details of a suspicious

vehicle that was seen on Sky Road at the time of Natalie's murder.

Detectives ran a check and found that the vehicle belonged to a man by the name of Paul
