Ivan Milat: The Backpacker Killer Who Terrorised Australia
About this episode
Australia’s most infamous serial killer left a trail of terror that changed the country forever. In the early 1990s, Ivan Milat, later dubbed The Backpacker Killer, stalked young travellers hitchhiking along quiet highways in New South Wales. What began as mysterious disappearances soon unravelled into one of the most chilling murder investigations in Australian history.
In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we take you deep into the world of Ivan Milat, exploring who he was, how he lured his victims, and the brutal methods that stunned the nation. You’ll follow the painstaking police work that finally brought him down, the extraordinary survival story that cracked the case wide open, and the lasting impact his crimes had on how Australia viewed safety and travel.
This is the dark story of a man who became a symbol of fear and the relentless detectives who refused to let him walk free.
