The gripping true story of one of Australia's most notorious homicide investigations, detailing the painstaking work of two determined policeman over nearly a decade in pursuit of a psychopathic killer preying on vulnerable women.
Daryl Suckling's arrest in remote NSW in the late 1980s revealed his disturbing connections with the disappearance of Jodie Larcombe from Melbourne. Charged with Jodie's murder, having previously escaped conviction more than once after brutally abducting several women, Suckling was again allowed to walk free, as police investigators struggled to prove a homicide without a body. Frustrated by legal obstacles and bad luck, one officer resigned from the force in disgust, but the case was never forgotten and investigators closed in as Suckling stalked his next victim.
The grisly murder linked the streets of St Kilda with the lonely, windswept sand hills of the outback, and brought two hardened policemen close to a brave family pushed to breaking point by the effort to put Jodie's killer behind bars.
