Australian police release unseen photos 25 years after British backpacker Peter Falconio's murder
Police released new photos and bodycam footage as specialists re-examine the cold case, with a A$500,000 reward still on offer for Falconio’s remains.
- Northern Territory Police released previously unseen photographs on Tuesday marking the 25th anniversary of British backpacker Peter Falconio's 2001 murder, hoping the images might jog memories or generate fresh leads.
- Bradley Murdoch murdered Falconio on the Stuart Highway after flagging down his van, also abducting girlfriend Joanne Lees before her escape; Murdoch died in prison last year without disclosing the body's location.
- New images include crime scene markers, the abandoned Volkswagen Kombi, and injuries sustained by Lees. Northern Territory Police Force Commissioner Martin Dole offered a A$500,000 reward, branding Murdoch a "coward" for his silence.
- Forensic experts Mark Harrison and Kathy Canning-Mello are using modern investigative techniques to identify potential burial sites, with Harrison describing the case as an "active investigation" despite decades passing.
- Detectives believe Murdoch may have confessed to others, urging the public to share information while documentary *Outback Terror: The Falconio Murder* explores the ongoing investigation into one of Australia's most haunting unsolved cases.
