It's March 28th. This is Sydney News today, your AI-powered local news. Tony Rigby, a former inmate out on parole, just shared her private letters from Ivan Millett, the Australian serial killer convicted of murdering seven, backpackers in the 1990s. My let feel pages with claims of being framed by police, rants about his unfair trial, and even chats on cricket and climate change. He died of a suffigial cancer in October 2019, still protesting his innocence till the end. Rigby connected with Millett while serving time for selling drugs, using the prison mail system to reach out to him and goal-burned Supermax. She wrote three times before he replied, kicking off months of back and forth where he drew little stick figures labeled innocent. She also bonded with cannibal killer Catherine Knight in a high-risk unit, getting handmade gumnut gifts from her that now sit on family shelves. Fults were stunned when Rigby posted about her killer pin-pow online, drawing shock from
everyone including journalists. As a teen hitchhiker on the same highways, Millett hunted, she figured she dodged becoming victim number eight. My lot vented about prison horrors, like sawing off his own finger for appeals, and denied links to other unsolved cases. Now a parliamentary inquiry is digging into missing persons and murders from 1965 to 2010, zeroing in on possible malattis, especially for young women who vanished near Newcastle in the 70s and 80s areas he worked and drank in. Mylay dismissed those accusations and letters, blaming cops for pinning everything on him without evidence. Speculation swirls on whether Mylay killed more or acted alone, but Rigby wishes he'd owned up once, leaving families without closure as these probes, toward, push forward.
