Summary

David and Catherine Birnie were twelve when they met, each coming from tough home lives. Over the years they couldn’t fight their connection, and eventually became two of the worst humans walking the planet. Together they abducted, raped and killed young women across Australia without a thought. In part 1 Alaina will give us a little insight into their lives before and during their relationship and cover the first two murders. Stay tuned for part two.
