Private Notes
Herman Rockefeller was a multi-millionaire and an upstanding citizen. So when he disappeared after a business trip, his family and the police were puzzled, until a series of phone calls uncovered a seedy double life that had turned deadly.
It was one of the most frustrating cases for Victorian police. Kelly Hodge's body was found discarded on the side of the road. Countless suspects were dismissed and the real killer seemed to get away, until a phone call changed everything.
As a child his grandmother taught him to cut the ears off little kittens and when they died she would just buy him more. With no empathy or emotion involved, he found killing people easy. Richard William Leonard, jailed for life for the murder of Stephen Dempsey using a bow and arrow. He also murdered taxi driver Ezzedine Bahmad.
Love can make us do crazy things they say, but killing for love is a whole new story, and in Far North Queensland one young man wrote the book. Unable to accept rejection, this man nearly got away with murder until a phone call tripped him up.
It was a case of money for murder. Peter Shellard was found by his girlfriend in their Caulfield mansion. He was battered and bound in a seemingly bondage session gone wrong. But a phone call to police pointed to someone who had motive to murder.
It was a near perfect plan, murderous revenge by a man whose hate for his victim had reached boiling point. Every detail of the murder had been meticulously researched and studiously planned. But in the end a phone call unravelled his plan.
