[edit] Clean this up!

Who wrote this crap? It needs to be cleaned up and written properly.Adiemus 17:10, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Why don't you help and do it yourself?

it might be of note that, the caliber of gun can be determined by the spent cases but not the manufacturer of the gun, that can only be done by ballistics tests matching bullet to bore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.244.235.236 (talk) 01:26, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interesting

Parramatta police are following up news that DNA matching that found under the fingernails of one of the Belanglo Forest murder victims has been found on a body recently discovered in bushland.

Detective Sergeant Michael Ashwood today led a raid on the late Mrs Milat's Guildford home where one of the Milat brothers, who is handicapped, still lives, in an effort to chase down phantom DNA that was found on a body discovered in bushland. Police were allegedly looking for any weapons, clothing or other objects related to the recent discovery in 2004 of a woman's body in a shallow grave which shot under the media radar.

The delay in the search was due to the results of a matching DNA sample from both this murder victim and the backpacker murder victims only 'recently coming in' from labs in the United Kingdom. One of the few conspiracy theory sites on the subject states: Ivan Milat's family were officially informed that the DNA did not match Ivan Milat or any member of his family, nor did the DNA match any of the known victims. Police explained this by pointing out that the judge in his summing up of the case against Ivan Milat stated that there was no way one person committed these murders alone, and that the murders had a ritual-satanic aspect which would suggest a group of people being involved.

Take it with a grain of salt, but there's definately something afoot. I assume more will come to light when the mainstream media grabs a hold of this matter. Jachin 01:58, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing (External)Link?

There are other crime stories on Wikipedia that link to extended CrimeLibrary.com reportage; is there any particular reason why this story does not have a link to their Milat/Backpacker Murders feature, or is this just an oversight? Hi There 02:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Runaway Train music video

The article states:

Milat's three German victims, Gabor Kurt Neugebauer, Anja Susanne Habschied and Simone Schmidl,
appeared in Soul Asylum's film clip for the song "Runaway Train". The song was about the large 
number of missing people around the world. It was not known at the time that three were all victims 
of the same serial killer.

I saw the music-video today, there were three sequences with four missing people each, all showed with names... but the three german victims are not included, therefore (and because the statement is unsourced) I think it should be removed. Weapon X (de) 21:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Removed the statement. Weapon X (de) 13:55, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] General

I think this article need more facts and ingoing discriptions of the murders and about ivan milat. /matrix17

I started a rewrite on this but soon realised it is a hopeless cause. The "backpacker murders" entry is much better - far less over-excited and tacky-tabloid. I suggest killing "Ivan Milat" and starting again.

Shouldn't the articles be merged? Socrates2008 16:08, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
