When young women started going missing from the affluent Perth suburb of Claremont in the 1990s, it sent shockwaves throughout Australia.
Sarah Spiers, 18, Jane Rimmer, 23, and Ciara Glennon, 27, went missing within less than two years of each other, launching Australia’s longest-running, biggest and most expensive manhunt.
26 years after the first abduction, Seven is releasing The Claremont Murders – a two-part series that follows the police investigation and twists and turns that brought a serial killer to justice.
When will The Claremont Murders air?
The series will air on Seven and 7plus, on Monday, April 10 at 8.30pm.
Is The Claremont Murders a true story?
Although the two-part series is scripted, The Claremont Murders is based on a true story.
The new series focuses on the police who never let the case go and the journalist who followed the case from the day the first woman went missing, all the way through to the end of the trial.
