“[The Claremont Murders] explores how the disappearance of three young women in Perth in the late 1990s launched a 25-year investigation by the police and one tenacious journalist.”
It took 25 years to solve the crime, and the series is the harrowing true story of how the Claremont Killer was caught.
At the time (in the 1990’s), the dissapearances of three young women from Claremont set off the biggest unsolved murder case in West Australian history.
The show will premiere at 8:30pm on Easter Monday on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
