Description

After years of speculation and rumour, this text presents the real-life expose of the notorious "Family Murders" in Adelaide, told by the man who solved the case. South Australia has an international reputation for being the home of some very strange murders. But during the 1970s the country was shocked when a series of young men - all fit and healthy - disappeared from its streets one by one. Their bodies were found dumped in the countryside outside the city. All were mutilated and some were dismembered. A group of prominent Sajudges, dubbed "the family" were suspected of involvement in the killings, but instead Bevan Von Einem was found guilty.
