| 0:00.0 | Hi, Park enthusiasts. I'm your host, Dilya Deambre. Can you believe we're nearing the |
| 0:05.7 | end of season 3 already? I hope the stories I've shared with you this summer have honored |
| 0:10.7 | the victims, while at the same time reminding us how dangerous the elements and people lurking |
| 0:16.1 | in the great outdoors can be. There's one more episode next week, but after that I'll |
| 0:21.3 | be taking a break for a few months. Don't worry though, I'll return with new episodes. |
| 0:26.9 | Before I took the time away though, I knew I needed to tell you today's wild story. It's |
| 0:32.0 | about a series of crimes that spans several years in Australia's Belangelo State Forest, |
| 0:37.4 | a stretch of bush and wilderness where seven murders occurred in the early 1990s. The victims |
| 0:43.7 | were all innocent young people backpacking and exploring the beautiful landscape of Southern |
| 0:48.3 | Australia. When I first started researching Belangelo State Forest, I expected it to be |
| 0:53.8 | in a desolate area of New South Wales, but it's not. It actually sits about an hour and |
| 0:59.2 | a half southwest of Sydney, just off well known Hume Highway. The forest is predominantly |
| 1:05.1 | filled with pine trees and is regularly logged, leaving sections filled with down timber |
| 1:10.2 | that just sort of stack up on one another. It's pretty easy to get turned around if you |
| 1:14.7 | don't know where you're going. The park itself is roughly 9,400 acres, and you can camp, |
| 1:20.7 | hike, go off-roading or mountain bike. A lot of visitors check it out for just a day or |
| 1:25.2 | two. But back in the early 90s, one man visited every day and wasn't taking in the beautiful |
| 1:31.4 | sites of the towering pine trees. He was busy burying bodies, at least seven of them, |
| 1:37.8 | and authorities now believe possibly more. This is Park Predators. |
| 2:02.7 | In December 29, 1989, Pat Everest was at her home in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, |
| 2:08.8 | when her phone rang. On the other end of the line was her 19-year-old |
| 2:13.1 | daughter, Deborah. Deborah was calling to let her mom know that she and her boyfriend, |
