About this listen

Three young women snatched from the streets. From their lives, friends, and family.

Two of them - Jane Louise Rimmer and Ciara Eilish Glennon - brutally slain.

The third, the youngest - Sarah Ellen Spiers - still missing but presumed dead. Assumed murdered by the same man.

The hunt for their killer had already spanned two decades and three continents, confounding detectives who had never given up, but had nothing to show for their endless years of searching.

But now, at just after 7 a.m. on December 22, 2016, all those hours, all those tears, and all that fear had led to this entirely unremarkable front door in Kewdale, south-east of the city.

Behind it lived Bradley Robert Edwards - telecommunications technician, Little Athletics stalwart, computer buff, stepfather, husband, brother, son.

Could he be the enigma of the dark who had stalked Perth's western suburbs in the 1990s?

Could he be the man who had taken Sarah and murdered Jane and Ciara?

Could he be the Claremont serial killer?

I just finished the podcast and straight away got the book. An excellent telling of the awful murders, rapes and crimes of one individual. Extremely well written and extremely well told. Thankyou for the book.

Outstanding production

Growing up as a teenager in Perth around the time of the Claremont serial killings I remember the fear this monster created in the 1990s. I followed this case closely, listening to many episodes of the podcast by Tim Clarke. So I was surprised that I still learnt a few new things from this book and did not find it repetitive. My heart goes out to the families of the victims. I hope one day there will be justice for Sarah Spiers and her family.

Well written and comprehensive

The story of 3 young women who disappeared in Claremont scared and has had a long term affect on me personally as I was the same age as the girls who went missing.
Finally we have some closure as the man who tormented us is now behind bars for the rest of his life.
But for many, this story continues to haunt us because we still have limited answers for Sarah and her family.
Thank you for sharing this story, despite it at times being very difficult to listen to.
What this one man did to a state will never be forgotten or forgiven.
May Jane and Ciara rest in peace.
May Sarah continue to provide us with guidance to allow her to be found and laid to rest
To the killer and rapist, your time will come

Thank you for sharing the horror of my 20’s

Maybe a warning about the sick sexual content of this book please...
Not as good as Stalking Claremont the other book about this case . The author is twisted and demented for at pains describing the attack sequences which happened to the people involved . Typical ad hoc reporter uses the people close to the case as fodder for his half decent book. If your looking for gratuitous rape descriptions you've got it with this book if your as twisted and busted up like author Tim Clarke is he didn't need to go into details about offences in this book but sick Tim does. Honestly 2 out of 5 stars . Glad I got to listen this book for free as wasting a credit on this tripe would be untenable.

Macabre sexual assault description throughout the book
