Summary

Thank you to Sonya and Noel from the Evidence Locker Podcast for joining me to discuss the case of Ivan Milat, aka The Backpack Killer. You can check out their show wherever you get your favorite podcasts.  Ivan Milat was a road worker who killed seven backpackers in the Belanglo state forest in the early 1990s. Since his death, questions loom on how many other victims he is responsible for because he supposedly made his first kill in his 40s. This leads investigators to believe there may have been victims as far back as the 1970s. Join me and the hosts from the Evidence Locker Podcast for part 2 of Ivan Milat, aka the Backpack Killer.

away, Englishman Paul Unions. Without him, Malat might still be at large, still kill him, because only through
