Speaker 1: Before we begin today's show, I want to make a
0:02
Speaker 1: few official statements. One, I don't want to die. I
0:06
Speaker 1: have no plans to take my own life, and if
0:08
Speaker 1: I pass away in the next couple of months, you
0:10
Speaker 1: know who did it. Two, the facts presented in the
0:13
Speaker 1: following episode can be independently verified by visiting the resources
0:17
Speaker 1: presented in the description of this podcast. And three, All
0:20
Speaker 1: opinions presented in the Conspiracy Files are solely those of
0:24
Speaker 1: the producer and host of the show. All parties are
0:27
Speaker 1: considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
0:31
Speaker 1: And now let's do a deep dive. Welcome back to
0:39
Speaker 1: the Conspiracy Files. Another day. Here in our new house,
0:43
Speaker 1: we're still moving in getting everything set up kind of bright.
0:46
Speaker 1: I might record later at night. I tried to move
0:48
Speaker 1: a mattress to block some of the light out. If
0:50
Speaker 1: you guys are watching this, Welcome to all the people
0:53
Speaker 1: listening to the show on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, wherever you
0:56
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. And hello to everybody visually watching the show.
0:59
Speaker 1: It's a treat to have everybody here taking this journey
1:02
Speaker 1: with us. This is an episode that is really dark
1:04
Speaker 1: and is going to go down in the history of
1:06
Speaker 1: the Conspiracy Files as one of the darkest, most depraved,
1:10
Speaker 1: most disturbing cases we've presented so far. This is a
1:14
Speaker 1: story that haunts me at night, involving a powering on
1:18
Speaker 1: Solft King's corrupt officials. It's really twisted stuff. But as always,
1:23
Speaker 1: if you enjoy the content, make sure to leave me
1:26
Speaker 1: a five star review on whatever podcasting app you're listening on,
1:30

Speaker 1: to the channel, and yeah, you can check out the
1:34
Speaker 1: other podcasts that I co host, Murder in America with
1:37
Speaker 1: my beautiful wife Courtney, or you can watch me Ghosts
1:40
Speaker 1: on YouTube at the paranorm Files. But yeah, let's just
1:43
Speaker 1: get into this story. The script is brought to you
1:45
Speaker 1: by sabran Chandler Lewis the Family Murders. So we're gonna
1:49
Speaker 1: start with a quote. It's peaceful, it's gentle, it's well
1:53
Speaker 1: named for a woman. It's got that feeling. End quote.
1:57
Speaker 1: A resident of Adelaide in South Australia states this quote
2:01
Speaker 1: with a friendly smile and warm tone. He's being interviewed
2:04
Speaker 1: for a nineteen eighty two promotional video of his city,
2:07
Speaker 1: just before it goes on to show beautiful tree lined streets,
2:10
Speaker 1: bustling shops, and the kind faces of citizens. If I
2:13
Speaker 1: can arrange it, I should keep coming back here, over
2:15
Speaker 1: and over and over again. An excited performer smiles wildly
2:19
Speaker 1: with an elated expression as she lavishes praise over the city,
2:22
Speaker 1: while in the background, the sun shines down on urban
2:24
Speaker 1: treetops visible from the high window, sunshine, trees, and a
2:28
Speaker 1: sea of kind faces. Within this sea, many faces that
2:31
Speaker 1: should be there are missing. These are the faces of
2:34
Speaker 1: young men and children. Five confirmed, but over one hundred
2:38
Speaker 1: and fifty suspected. In the early eighties, the state of
2:41
Speaker 1: South Australia was sent into a panic as bodies began
2:44
Speaker 1: to pile up, all found drugged, brutalized and mutilated. Parents
2:48
Speaker 1: went into morning, and many wondered if their sons were next.
2:52
Speaker 1: In a sea of disappearances and assaults, A ring of
2:54
Speaker 1: many suspects were identified, but only one was arrested, and
2:58
Speaker 1: he was only charged with one of the these many murders,
3:01
Speaker 1: there could be up to one hundred and fifty of them.
3:03
Speaker 1: These people, these monsters, formed a ring of evil in Adelaide,
3:07
Speaker 1: a supposedly peaceful and gentle city. They lured men and
3:11
Speaker 1: boys promising safety, but only delivered misery and death. And
3:15
Speaker 1: even as these many names come to light, their connections
3:17
Speaker 1: and protections keep them safe from the consequences of their
3:20
Speaker 1: actions and from the justice they deserve. This ring of evil,
3:24
Speaker 1: known as the Family, brought terror to Adelaide in the
3:27
Speaker 1: early years of the nineteen eighties. This title leads people
3:30
Speaker 1: to think of parents and siblings, those who should be
3:33
Speaker 1: loving and kind, But the Family showed anything but love
3:37
Speaker 1: to the sons of Adelaide. Even these many years later
3:39
Speaker 1: after their demise, justice has failed to shine its light
3:43
Speaker 1: in South Australia. But who kept the darkness from being dispelled?
3:47
Speaker 1: And what other demons danced in the shadows? What monsters
3:50
Speaker 1: lurk in the streets of Adelaide, and who's allowing them
3:53
Speaker 1: to this day continued to roam unchecked. Chapter one, City
3:59
Speaker 1: of Corpses. The promotional video of Adelaide in South Australia
4:02
Speaker 1: is a warm, welcoming, bright video, showcasing many of the
4:06
Speaker 1: great experiences that this city has to offer. What it
4:08
Speaker 1: doesn't explain, however, is that over many decades, Adelaide has
4:12
Speaker 1: been center stage for many of Australia's most depraved and
4:16
Speaker 1: sinister crimes. It used to be known as the City
4:18
Speaker 1: of Churches, as chapels and religious centers dotted numerous street corners.
4:23
Speaker 1: The people of Adelaide were known to be notoriously reverent
4:26
Speaker 1: in worship, but when murders began to stain their city
4:28
Speaker 1: with blood, Adelaide took on a new nickname, the City
4:31
Speaker 1: of corpses. Crimelibrary dot Org says the following about how
4:35
Speaker 1: the city came to be synonymous with death. Per capita,
4:38
Speaker 1: Adelaide and its environs have recorded more of Australia's most
4:41
Speaker 1: notorious crimes than any other Australian capital city, and the
4:45
Speaker 1: annals of Australia's most horrific crimes laid back Adelaide's sinister
4:49
Speaker 1: past and present makes other cities look like Camelot in
4:53
Speaker 1: a city with many lives lost at the hands of
4:55
Speaker 1: a killer. However, one case stands out especially to me
4:58
Speaker 1: above the rest, the Family Murders. The family murders began
5:03
Speaker 1: with the discovery of a body, but soon turned into
5:05
Speaker 1: a dark tidal wave with many deaths and many criminals
5:08
Speaker 1: kept safe through forced orders of silence and their own status.
5:12
Speaker 1: This whole thing started on the bank of South Para
5:15
Speaker 1: Reservoir below the Old Bridge on June twenty fourth, nineteen
5:18
Speaker 1: seventy nine. Weirdly enough, that's Courtney and my wife's birthday,
5:21
Speaker 1: and that's the day that Chris Benois the wrestler murdered
5:24
Speaker 1: his family. And we just recorded my part of that
5:28
Speaker 1: podcast this morning, so that's really strange June twenty fourth.
5:30
Speaker 1: But now we get to the first victim. The early
5:33
Speaker 1: and mid seventies saw Adelaide as no more or less
5:36
Speaker 1: subject to major crime than other Australian cities, but as
5:39
Speaker 1: the eighties approached things started to pick up. South Australia
5:43
Speaker 1: was still frightened after the discovery of five female murder
5:46
Speaker 1: victims near Truro when the discovery of sixteen year old
5:49
Speaker 1: Alan Barnes was made. Alan was an average kid from
5:52
Speaker 1: the city of Adelaide, known for being energetic, handsome, and
5:56
Speaker 1: in his mother's words, cheeky, which means playfully rude or
6:00
Speaker 1: His mother, Judy, further recalls that he was quick witted
6:03
Speaker 1: and always kept people laughing. Alan worked part time refilling
6:07
Speaker 1: vending machines, but police were concerned that Alan was beginning
6:11
Speaker 1: to dabble in hard drugs, including Herwin. He had a
6:14
Speaker 1: pending charge open against him from a young woman, but
6:17
Speaker 1: the general consensus was that the act was consensual and
6:21
Speaker 1: the woman he'd allegedly assaulted was making an excuse for
6:24
Speaker 1: her boyfriend to avoid being caught cheating. The case would
6:27
Speaker 1: never go to court to find the truth. On the
6:29
Speaker 1: seventeenth of June nineteen seventy nine, Alan was hitchhiking home
6:32
Speaker 1: from the Cheltenham residence of Darko castell On, whom he
6:36
Speaker 1: had recently befriended. It was a Sunday and the two
6:38
Speaker 1: of them had planned to hitchhike to Alan's home in Salisbury.
6:41
Speaker 1: Both cities were smaller suburbs of Adelaide, but quite far apart.
6:45
Speaker 1: Darko's brother dropped off Alan and Darko at the corner
6:48
Speaker 1: of Grand Junction Road and Addison Road. Darko would soon
6:51
Speaker 1: return home, but a witness would see Alan except a
6:54
Speaker 1: ride and get into a white holed in h Q
6:57
Speaker 1: Sinan near the corner of Grand Junction Road and Reduction Road.
7:00
Speaker 1: The van allegedly carried three or four other people, and
7:03
Speaker 1: after he climbs into the van, Allen's never seen alive. Again.
7:07
Speaker 1: The next day, Monday, the eighteenth Allan's mother, Judy, calls
7:11
Speaker 1: the police to report her son as missing. Nothing comes
7:14
Speaker 1: from the police investigation into Alan's disappearance until exactly a
7:18
Speaker 1: week to the day after he vanished. On June twenty fourth,
7:21
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine, two hikers were walking on a dirt
7:24
Speaker 1: track near the South Para Reservoir when they made a
7:27
Speaker 1: discovery that would begin this horrific saga. It was the
7:30
Speaker 1: contorted body, the dead body of a young man. Judy
7:33
Speaker 1: was watching TV when the report came over the news
7:36
Speaker 1: a man in his twenties had been found under the
7:38
Speaker 1: old bridge at South Para Reservoir. She was so certain
7:41
Speaker 1: that it was Alan that she called the police once
7:44
Speaker 1: again and told them it wasn't a man in his twenties,
7:47
Speaker 1: but a sixteen year old kid, and it was her son.
7:50
Speaker 1: She told them to look on the back of his
7:51
Speaker 1: watch for an engraving that proved it was the watch
7:54
Speaker 1: given to Alan as a Christmas gift. The police came
7:57
Speaker 1: to see her soon afterwards, when Judy and her husband
8:00
Speaker 1: followed them to the police station. Judy's husband and their
8:02
Speaker 1: doctor went down to the morgue and confirmed the horrible truth.
8:06
Speaker 1: The corpse indeed belonged to Alan Barnes. The post mortem
8:10
Speaker 1: autopsy brings further horrible news, however, which showed that Alan
8:14
Speaker 1: Barnes had faced absolutely unimaginable pain before his life was ended.
8:18
Speaker 1: He had been sadistically tortured, held in an unknown location
8:22
Speaker 1: for five days, and then brutally murdered. Allan had been tortured, beaten,
8:26
Speaker 1: and ate, the ripped, and died from blood loss due
8:29
Speaker 1: to massive able injuries, likely caused by the force insertion
8:33
Speaker 1: of a large blunt object with a tapered end, such
8:36
Speaker 1: as a bottle. Allan had noctec in a system, a
8:40
Speaker 1: powerful sedative and hypnotic used before surgeries to calm patients.
8:44
Speaker 1: Mixed with this sedative was alcohol. The police had no
8:47
Speaker 1: leads or evidence of what had happened, but with the
8:50
Speaker 1: results of the autopsy, they put together a scenario that
8:53
Speaker 1: they believed to be accurate. Alan was picked up on
8:56
Speaker 1: the corner of Production Road in Grand Junction. He had
8:58
Speaker 1: been offered an alcoholic which had been laced with these sedatives.
9:02
Speaker 1: Allan then lost consciousness and woke up in an unknown location,
9:06
Speaker 1: naked and confused by the sedative alcohol mixture. The police
9:09
Speaker 1: believed Alan was unable to move, and during the five
9:12
Speaker 1: days of his captivity, he was beaten and sadly assaulted
9:16
Speaker 1: by an unknown number of people. After the disturbing abuse,
9:19
Speaker 1: which led to this massive blood loss, Alan succumbed to
9:23
Speaker 1: his injuries. When it was found that he had died.
9:25
Speaker 1: Alan was then cleaned and redressed in different clothing than
9:28
Speaker 1: what he was wearing when he was abducted. The police
9:30
Speaker 1: stated that Alan had most likely died the Friday before
9:34
Speaker 1: his discovery, and then was disposed of on Saturday the
9:37
Speaker 1: twenty third at the South Para Reservoir. He had died
9:39
Speaker 1: no more than forty eight hours before he was found.
9:42
Speaker 1: The police immediately launched an investigation. Many unconfirmed sightings of
9:46
Speaker 1: Alan came into the station, but only a few were
9:48
Speaker 1: considered credible. The investigation was stifled even though they offered
9:52
Speaker 1: a reward for information and received a few tips. But
9:55
Speaker 1: they didn't have much time to focus solely on Alan
9:58
Speaker 1: because just two months after his body was found, more
10:01
Speaker 1: human remains would turn up. The second victim, a pair
10:05
Speaker 1: of fishermen were fishing near Mutton Cove on the shore
10:08
Speaker 1: of the Port Adelaide River on August twenty eighth, nineteen
10:11
Speaker 1: seventy nine. The wharf they had chosen to fish at
10:14
Speaker 1: was remote and disused, a place people didn't often visit.
10:17
Speaker 1: The two fishermen noticed something snagged on some rocks floating
10:21
Speaker 1: just above the water. There was a pair of two
10:23
Speaker 1: garbage bags. Upon closer inspection, they saw that it wasn't
10:27
Speaker 1: just trash dumped in the river. It was the mutilated
10:30
Speaker 1: parts of a human body. The heel of a man's
10:33
Speaker 1: foot was sticking out of the ripped garbage bag. Detectives
10:37
Speaker 1: were immediately called to the scene to begin an investigation,
10:40
Speaker 1: and it wasn't long before the victim was identified as
10:43
Speaker 1: Neil Frederick Muir, who had gone missing two days prior.
10:47
Speaker 1: Neil's body, like Allen's, had been severely mangled. He had
10:50
Speaker 1: been cut into four sections just above the knee, immediately
10:54
Speaker 1: above the hips, and at the neck. His fingers had
10:56
Speaker 1: been cut off. The areas where his tattoos had been
10:59
Speaker 1: were skinned from his body, and his gentiles had been
11:01
Speaker 1: severely mutilated by being sliced apart into multiple sections. A
11:07
Speaker 1: tail was removed from his body, the head of his
11:09
Speaker 1: piece had been cut off, and the appendage had been
11:12
Speaker 1: sliced down the center Neil's head had also been attached
11:16
Speaker 1: to the torso with a rope that went through the
11:18
Speaker 1: mouth and neck. His organs were not found with the body,
11:22
Speaker 1: and to this day they've never been located, and their
11:25
Speaker 1: place was a bag wrapped tightly containing the tattooed flesh
11:28
Speaker 1: that had been skinned off, as well as his fingers.
11:31
Speaker 1: Also stuffed into his chest in abdominal cavity were his
11:34
Speaker 1: lower legs. His arms were also placed within his hollow torso.
11:38
Speaker 1: It was as if the man's body had been turned
11:41
Speaker 1: into some kind of gruesome suitcase by the killer. It
11:43
Speaker 1: was so disturbing that even the police and detectives were
11:47
Speaker 1: horrified by the scene. Bags containing the body parts were
11:50
Speaker 1: taken away for further examination, and it's here where the
11:53
Speaker 1: Adelaide police realized that the evidence found in Neil Mure's
11:56
Speaker 1: case shockingly resembled the horrors inflicted on Allan. At first,
12:01
Speaker 1: it was theorized that Neil was killed for failing to
12:03
Speaker 1: pay drug debts. Sadly, gruesome deaths were commonly associated with
12:08
Speaker 1: those who doved too deeply into the underworld of illicit substances.
12:11
Speaker 1: Neil also had drugs and alcohol in his system at
12:14
Speaker 1: the time of his death, and he too had died
12:16
Speaker 1: from massive blood loss due to an injury inflicted by
12:19
Speaker 1: a large tapered object. The two bodies had been dumped
12:22
Speaker 1: in or close to water, and both were last seen
12:24
Speaker 1: on a Sunday. So who was the man in the
12:26
Speaker 1: garbage bags? Neil Muir was a transient who wandered Adelaide
12:30
Speaker 1: and was suspected of being a predude. He was known
12:33
Speaker 1: to the police as a heroin user and had disappeared
12:36
Speaker 1: on the twenty seventh of August nineteen seventy nine. Neil
12:39
Speaker 1: was known around common Adelaide night spots such as the
12:42
Speaker 1: hotels in Hinley Street, the Duke of York Hotel and
12:46
Speaker 1: the Buckingham Arms Hotel. The police believe that, like Alan,
12:49
Speaker 1: Neil had been drugged, tortured and set the assaulted, with
12:52
Speaker 1: the injuries sustained leading to his death. But unlike Alan,
12:56
Speaker 1: Neil had been dismembered, skinned in places, and then had
13:00
Speaker 1: his arms, legs, appendages and skin stuffed inside of his
13:03
Speaker 1: hollowed out Torso the dismemberment of Neil was surgical in
13:07
Speaker 1: nature and had to have been done by someone with
13:10
Speaker 1: intense surgical knowledge. In other words, this wasn't like someone
13:13
Speaker 1: just took a hacksaw and cut this guy's body apart.
13:16
Speaker 1: These were clean, precise cuts that when investigators looked at them,
13:23
Speaker 1: they could tell we're done by someone who was trained
13:27
Speaker 1: with surgical skills. This revelation, on top of Alan's death,
13:31
Speaker 1: rocked Adelaide at its foundation. People began to fear who
13:34
Speaker 1: was next. It was no longer an isolated case. It
13:37
Speaker 1: was a serial killing among the people of Adelaide. A
13:40
Speaker 1: killer or multiple killers walked the streets, but there were
13:43
Speaker 1: no clues pointing to who they were. Then a call
13:46
Speaker 1: came into the police station that offered a lead. An
13:49
Speaker 1: anonymous caller gave the name of a local accountant, a
13:52
Speaker 1: man named Bevin von Einem. According to this anonymous caller,
13:56
Speaker 1: Bevin was responsible for Alan's death, and if this man
13:59
Speaker 1: killed Alan, he may have killed Neil as well. Now,
14:02
Speaker 1: while this information may have seemed promising at first, it
14:05
Speaker 1: was simply filed away with the rest of the leaves
14:07
Speaker 1: that the police received. Even with hundreds of leads, the
14:10
Speaker 1: case seemed to be going nowhere. It was as if
14:12
Speaker 1: no one in the entire city of Adelaide had any
14:14
Speaker 1: clue who had done such a horrible thing to these
14:17
Speaker 1: two young men. That or someone did know, and they
14:20
Speaker 1: were keeping their mouths shut. Two years past, as the
14:24
Speaker 1: case gained a little traction, Alan and Neil were laid
14:26
Speaker 1: to rest and the city began to forget about their deaths.
14:29
Speaker 1: But as with most serial killers, it wouldn't end until
14:32
Speaker 1: someone was caught. And now we get to the third victim,
14:36
Speaker 1: or who possibly could be the fourth. Mark Langley was
14:40
Speaker 1: eighteen and nineteen eighty two attending a birthday party at
14:43
Speaker 1: Windsor Gardens. It was Sunday, February twenty eighth at one
14:47
Speaker 1: fifteen am when Mark and his friends left the party,
14:50
Speaker 1: climbing into a dats In sixteen hundred and driving into
14:53
Speaker 1: the city, where they parked on War Memorial Drive near
14:56
Speaker 1: the river Torrens. Mark got into a fight with his friends,
14:59
Speaker 1: so we got out of the car and walked along
15:01
Speaker 1: the north side of the road. Mark's friends then left,
15:04
Speaker 1: but would later return to try and pick him up. However,
15:08
Speaker 1: Mark was nowhere to be seen. They assumed he had
15:10
Speaker 1: hitchhiked home and returned back to their houses. David Langley,
15:14
Speaker 1: Mark's father, waited for his son to come home. Later
15:16
Speaker 1: that morning at nine am, when there still was no
15:19
Speaker 1: sign of his kid. He began to worry, and at
15:22
Speaker 1: noon he called the police. As the next few days
15:24
Speaker 1: came and went, police began an intense investigation. The thoughts
15:28
Speaker 1: of the other missing boys still hadn't come to the
15:30
Speaker 1: front of their minds, though, and they were retreating this
15:32
Speaker 1: as a one off disappearance. The police first interviewed those
15:36
Speaker 1: who last saw Mark and hunted the city for any
15:38
Speaker 1: sign of him, even recruiting divers to search the River Torrents.
15:42
Speaker 1: Yet no one could find any trace of where he
15:45
Speaker 1: had been, but his family still hoped for the best.
15:48
Speaker 1: As days went by with no news, they hoped he
15:50
Speaker 1: was simply injured, lost, but most importantly, still alive. But
15:54
Speaker 1: these hopes were shattered nine days later when Mark's body
15:58
Speaker 1: was located on the eighth of March nineteen eighty two
16:01
Speaker 1: along a road in the scrubland of Summertown, the east
16:04
Speaker 1: of Adelaide. Items he had been wearing when he was
16:06
Speaker 1: last seen were missing from the body, such as his
16:09
Speaker 1: blue shirt and silver chain necklace. There were no bloodstains
16:12
Speaker 1: on his clothes, In fact, they were clean. He bore
16:15
Speaker 1: no visible injuries, and yet Mark was dead. The police
16:18
Speaker 1: contacted Mark's father and gave him the news David's son
16:22
Speaker 1: wouldn't be coming home, and after Mark's body was taken
16:25
Speaker 1: in for post mortem, it was discovered that he too
16:28
Speaker 1: had drugs in his system and had died from a
16:30
Speaker 1: mass le an wound and blood loss. But there was
16:33
Speaker 1: something about Mark's corpse that was different than the others.
16:36
Speaker 1: It appeared that the killer had performed some kind of
16:39
Speaker 1: a crude surgery, unlike the mutilation done to Nil. There
16:43
Speaker 1: had been a vertical cut into his abdomen from the
16:46
Speaker 1: navel to the area of his pubic hair, which had
16:49
Speaker 1: been stitched up. The hair in the area had been
16:51
Speaker 1: shaved as if he had been at a hospital, and
16:54
Speaker 1: when Mark was reopened, it was found that sections of
16:57
Speaker 1: his small bowel were missing. The police theory that the
17:00
Speaker 1: murderer had to open the bowels to retrieve damning evidence
17:04
Speaker 1: from inside of his body to keep their own identity
17:06
Speaker 1: a secret. They further theorized that the items in the
17:09
Speaker 1: small intestine had been inserted and were partially responsible for
17:13
Speaker 1: the injuries that Mark had sustained. David Langley, Mark's father,
17:18
Speaker 1: was horrified. Mark had been average, a kid who like
17:20
Speaker 1: cars and girls. He couldn't imagine why anyone would have
17:24
Speaker 1: done something like this to him, or that a human
17:26
Speaker 1: being could have done this in the first place. He
17:29
Speaker 1: stated the following to Crime Investigation Australia years later, quote,
17:33
Speaker 1: animals would not do this. All these years, I've been
17:36
Speaker 1: trying to think of what to call them. You do
17:38
Speaker 1: not call them men, you do not call them people,
17:41
Speaker 1: You do not call them animals. What do you call them?
17:43
Speaker 1: And for twenty five years I could not think of
17:45
Speaker 1: the name to call them, you know, to address the press.
17:48
Speaker 1: What do I say to them? What do we call
17:50
Speaker 1: these people? They're not human? End quote? But how would
17:53
Speaker 1: Mark come to have met this horrific fate? Because of
17:56
Speaker 1: his relation to the other murder victims, the investigators did
18:00
Speaker 1: reduced to what they could. The police concluded that after
18:03
Speaker 1: Mark got out of the car with his friends, he
18:05
Speaker 1: had accepted a ride from a stranger trying to hitchhike
18:07
Speaker 1: homb When he got into the car, he had been
18:09
Speaker 1: given a beer lace with a sedative. After he woke up,
18:13
Speaker 1: he was held captive and tortured for several days while
18:16
Speaker 1: being force fed alcohol and drugs. It was at this
18:19
Speaker 1: point that the police decided certainly the same killer committed
18:22
Speaker 1: all three murders. Throughout the investigation, Bevin von Einem's name
18:26
Speaker 1: continued to pop up, but he was only one of
18:29
Speaker 1: the many people of interest. It had seemed that the
18:32
Speaker 1: killer had taken a hiatus between the killings. You see,
18:35
Speaker 1: Alan and Neil were killed in nineteen seventy nine and
18:38
Speaker 1: Mark Langley was killed in nineteen eighty two. Because the
18:41
Speaker 1: police were so certain that these killings were related to
18:44
Speaker 1: other victims, the police opened up the case files of
18:46
Speaker 1: other missing boys and even missing men. One of these
18:49
Speaker 1: files was on Peter Stognef, who had gone missing many
18:53
Speaker 1: months prior the third victim. The police had already feared
18:56
Speaker 1: the worst for many of these missing boys, but they
18:58
Speaker 1: wouldn't know how right they were until June of nineteen
19:01
Speaker 1: eighty two. In May of nineteen eighty two, the Adelaide
19:04
Speaker 1: police were about to receive another call and another body.
19:08
Speaker 1: About thirty one miles north of Adelaide lay two Wells,
19:11
Speaker 1: a city suburb. A local farmer had gone to the
19:14
Speaker 1: area adjacent to Middle Beach Road to clear the land.
19:17
Speaker 1: After bulldozing bushes and box thorns, He left but came
19:20
Speaker 1: back on May twentieth to burn away the debris. The
19:23
Speaker 1: debris burned for two days, and it was a month
19:25
Speaker 1: later that the farmer would return to the area and
19:28
Speaker 1: continue his efforts, but he would find more than he
19:31
Speaker 1: bargained for. June twenty second, nineteen eighty two, saw the
19:34
Speaker 1: farmer working through the ashes and leftover brush when he
19:37
Speaker 1: spotted a human skull. He then returned home and the
19:40
Speaker 1: next morning the police were called. Not long after, the
19:43
Speaker 1: body was identified as belonging to Peter Stognef, who had
19:47
Speaker 1: been missing for over ten months. Peter was a talented
19:50
Speaker 1: boy with a love for music. He lived with his
19:52
Speaker 1: parents in Adelaide's northern suburbs, an average happy kid in
19:56
Speaker 1: the emerging eighties. It had been the twenty seventh of
19:59
Speaker 1: August nineteen eight when Peter left home without his backpack,
20:02
Speaker 1: planning to skip school to hang out with his cousin
20:05
Speaker 1: at the Rundel Mall. Plans changed, however, when he learned
20:08
Speaker 1: that his cousin couldn't make the trip. Peter went into
20:10
Speaker 1: the city anyways, but between home and the mall, he
20:12
Speaker 1: mysteriously vanished. When he didn't come home that evening, his
20:15
Speaker 1: parents immediately reported him as missing. As soon as the
20:18
Speaker 1: call came in, the police began investigating reports of his disappearance.
20:22
Speaker 1: One report stated he never got into the city in
20:25
Speaker 1: the first place and was abducted at the Tea Tree Plaza,
20:28
Speaker 1: still close to his home. This tip further indicated that
20:31
Speaker 1: Peter had been seen with a mail at the time
20:33
Speaker 1: of his disappearance. Even after a plea from police for
20:36
Speaker 1: more information calling the public to action, no one in
20:39
Speaker 1: the public offered any tips. They had no leads, and
20:42
Speaker 1: Peter's name went into the files as one of Adelaide's
20:44
Speaker 1: many forgotten missing boys. This was until his body was
20:48
Speaker 1: discovered in the bush. Burning it too wells Dental records
20:51
Speaker 1: from the skeletal remains led the police to believe it
20:54
Speaker 1: was indeed fourteen year old Peter, and it was confirmed
20:57
Speaker 1: not long afterwards. Peter's family was in true shock. They
21:01
Speaker 1: couldn't believe their young boy had been killed. He had
21:03
Speaker 1: no enemies. In his mother's words, he didn't do anything
21:06
Speaker 1: to anyone. His family, according to Crime Investigation Australia, still
21:10
Speaker 1: doesn't believe that the remains belonged to their young son.
21:13
Speaker 1: His mother for many years waited every minute for Peter
21:16
Speaker 1: to walk back through the front door to their home.
21:18
Speaker 1: A post mortem was conducted on the remains, and evidence
21:21
Speaker 1: began to mount that Peter had been the true third
21:24
Speaker 1: victim of the serial killer responsible for Allan and Neil's deaths,
21:28
Speaker 1: making Mark the fourth victim, not the third. The mutilation
21:32
Speaker 1: done to Peter seemed to be similar to what was
21:34
Speaker 1: done to Neil. His back had been cut through with
21:37
Speaker 1: the saw and his legs had been cut through at
21:39
Speaker 1: the knees as well. Peter, just like Neil, had been
21:42
Speaker 1: cut into pieces. After the discovery of Peter, the investigation
21:46
Speaker 1: went into overdrive. After four victims, there was more than
21:50
Speaker 1: enough reason to believe the killer would keep going until
21:53
Speaker 1: they were caught. The public was highly anxious knowing that
21:56
Speaker 1: someone in their city was hunting their sons, but time
21:59
Speaker 1: began to pass and the police were no closer to
22:01
Speaker 1: fining the monster who had committed these crimes. In nineteen
22:04
Speaker 1: eighty three, it had been many months since the last
22:06
Speaker 1: body was discovered, and thoughts of the killers slowly began
22:09
Speaker 1: to fade from the forefront of the public's minds. It
22:12
Speaker 1: seemed as though, against all reason, the killer had stopped,
22:15
Speaker 1: at least for now, But then in July, the murders
22:19
Speaker 1: took headlines by storm once again. The fifth victim, Richard Calvin,
22:24
Speaker 1: was fifteen years old in June of nineteen eighty three.
22:27
Speaker 1: He had a passion for sports, was considered good looking,
22:29
Speaker 1: and had a steady girlfriend. He lived with his parents,
22:32
Speaker 1: Betty and Rob, in one of Adelaide's fashionable northern neighborhoods.
22:36
Speaker 1: Richard's father was a popular presenter on the Channel nine
22:40
Speaker 1: news and many knew of him and his family, so
22:42
Speaker 1: this was a pretty famous family. Richard's dad was on
22:45
Speaker 1: TV almost every single day talking to Adelaide from the studio,
22:49
Speaker 1: so people knew Richard. They knew Richard's family, and this
22:52
Speaker 1: is definitely going to be a turning point here. It
22:54
Speaker 1: was the fifth of June, a Sunday, when this normal
22:57
Speaker 1: family was met with a tragic event. Hed gone to
23:00
Speaker 1: the park with a friend to play football. The clothing
23:02
Speaker 1: he was wearing, jeans, sneakers and a Channel nine T
23:05
Speaker 1: shirt were average. One article stands out, however, as a joke,
23:09
Speaker 1: Richard had taken the studded collar from his family dog
23:12
Speaker 1: and was wearing it around his neck, so he had
23:14
Speaker 1: a very distinctive article or item of clothing on. As
23:17
Speaker 1: the sky that evening began to grow dark, Richard and
23:19
Speaker 1: his friend began walking home and stopped at O'Connell Street's
23:22
Speaker 1: bus stop. This is where the two boys parted ways
23:25
Speaker 1: and where the end begins for Richard Calvin. It was
23:28
Speaker 1: only a bit over one thousand feet between Richard's home
23:31
Speaker 1: on Ward Street and the area where the two boys
23:34
Speaker 1: parted ways, and this is where Richard vanished, never to
23:36
Speaker 1: be seen alive again. A thousand feet from his home,
23:40
Speaker 1: he vanishes into thin air, and when Richard did come
23:42
Speaker 1: home that evening, his parents immediately called the police to
23:45
Speaker 1: report him missing. The police knew it was serious, as
23:48
Speaker 1: they were called the deaths of the other four male victims,
23:51
Speaker 1: and began knocking on doors around the neighborhood to see
23:53
Speaker 1: if anyone had information that could help them find Richard alive.
23:57
Speaker 1: The detectives spoke with the parents, Rob and Betty, but
24:00
Speaker 1: the most valuable information came from a nearby security guard.
24:03
Speaker 1: The guards stated that around the time of the disappearance,
24:06
Speaker 1: about six fifteen pm, he heard cries for help and
24:09
Speaker 1: car door slamming. However, more information came than that there
24:12
Speaker 1: were multiple raised voices, meaning more than one person had
24:16
Speaker 1: been involved in Richard's kidnapping. The car that Richard had
24:19
Speaker 1: been abducted in was noted to have a loud exhaust,
24:22
Speaker 1: but the car wasn't able to be identified. Still, the
24:25
Speaker 1: police had more information in this disappearance than in any
24:28
Speaker 1: of the other cases. The other neighbors corroborated the story
24:31
Speaker 1: further that the men's voices and the voice of a
24:33
Speaker 1: woman were heard shouting as Richard Calvin was abducted. Finally,
24:38
Speaker 1: the stories of the young men of Adelaide began to
24:40
Speaker 1: make larger news. Newscasters were important and prominent people in
24:44
Speaker 1: their communities back then, and for the son of a
24:46
Speaker 1: newscaster to be stolen was seemingly more worthy of spreading
24:49
Speaker 1: the word. Floods of tips and theories on Richard's disappearance
24:53
Speaker 1: flooded into the police station. It was already considered that
24:55
Speaker 1: Richard had fallen prey to the murderer of Alan, neil
24:59
Speaker 1: Mark and p and everyone wanted to find him before
25:01
Speaker 1: the worst could take place. People walk the streets, searching everywhere,
25:05
Speaker 1: and even visited fortune tellers to try and get a
25:08
Speaker 1: clue of what had happened to one of the most
25:10
Speaker 1: prominent sons in Adelaide, but weeks pass and Detective's fear
25:13
Speaker 1: for the worst for Richard. The police are stretched thin,
25:16
Speaker 1: investigating every lead available, yet nothing comes of their work
25:20
Speaker 1: for several weeks when the worst is confirmed. The Holmes family,
25:25
Speaker 1: led by their father Trevor, are searching for moss covered
25:28
Speaker 1: rocks for a garden in Mount Crawford, north of the
25:30
Speaker 1: city of Adelaide in the July winter. That didn't have
25:33
Speaker 1: much luck finding rocks, but they did have luck in
25:36
Speaker 1: finding the boy all of Adelaide had been searching for.
25:39
Speaker 1: Trevor had wandered into the scrub lands as he looked
25:42
Speaker 1: for the rocks and noticed some kangaroo bones lying in
25:44
Speaker 1: the dirt. As he bends down to inspect them, he
25:47
Speaker 1: sees a person lying on the ground not far away.
25:50
Speaker 1: He at first believed that the person was injured, so
25:53
Speaker 1: he stepped closer. He called out to the injured person
25:56
Speaker 1: lying on the ground, asking if they were okay, But
25:59
Speaker 1: as he pulls back the bushes, he notices his head,
26:02
Speaker 1: the hair is greasy and the skin is model. He
26:05
Speaker 1: pulls the bushes away further as he tries to call
26:07
Speaker 1: out again and sees the channel nine shirt. It was
26:10
Speaker 1: Richard Kelvin and he was dead. Trevor immediately calls the
26:13
Speaker 1: police and they arrived to inspect the body. Richard was
26:16
Speaker 1: wearing the same clothing that he had on when he
26:18
Speaker 1: was vanished, and that dog collar was still around his neck.
26:21
Speaker 1: A crime scene was then established and the police began
26:24
Speaker 1: searching for more evidence. The body of Richard Kelvin was
26:27
Speaker 1: lying near a dirt airstrip at Kerzbruok, lying in a
26:30
Speaker 1: fetal position. The police determined that the body had been
26:33
Speaker 1: there for at least two weeks. The body was then
26:35
Speaker 1: taken away and an autopsy was performed. Richard had died
26:38
Speaker 1: in the same manner as the rest of the victims,
26:40
Speaker 1: yet Richard was held alive for at least five weeks.
26:44
Speaker 1: The toxicology screen noted the drugs Max, which had been
26:48
Speaker 1: in the system of some of the other victims, and Neck,
26:51
Speaker 1: which had been present in the previous bodies as well.
26:54
Speaker 1: Max is another sedative like None, but Max was particularly
26:58
Speaker 1: popular in the disco scene of the day. In other words,
27:01
Speaker 1: it was a party drug. There were traces of four
27:03
Speaker 1: different drugs in Richard's system, but these were not the
27:06
Speaker 1: cause of death like the other men. Richard had been
27:09
Speaker 1: killed by the forced insertion of a large, blunt tapered
27:12
Speaker 1: object like a bottle. While the drugs force fed to
27:14
Speaker 1: the fifteen year old were stupefying, they would not have
27:17
Speaker 1: eliminated the pain that he felt in his final hours,
27:20
Speaker 1: Not for Richard and not for any of the other victims.
27:23
Speaker 1: After Richard had succumbed to his ordeal, his body was
27:27
Speaker 1: washed clean of fingerprints and other evidence, dressed back in
27:30
Speaker 1: his own clothes, and dumped in the bush lands outside
27:33
Speaker 1: of Adelaide. No one wanted to believe these horrific crimes
27:36
Speaker 1: had been committed in their city. It was monstrous, and
27:39
Speaker 1: yet it was in Adelaide. Then, after Richard Calvin has
27:42
Speaker 1: found and an autopsy has performed, the newspapers began to
27:45
Speaker 1: speculate on the killer at last. Throughout the investigation, little
27:48
Speaker 1: pieces of evidence had been coming in. Journalists and police
27:51
Speaker 1: had been working to piece the clues together, and they
27:53
Speaker 1: finally had a few concrete ideas. The murder of the
27:56
Speaker 1: five Adelaide victims hadn't been committed by one serial kit killer,
28:00
Speaker 1: but rather a group of them. The group, furthermore, was
28:03
Speaker 1: not simply a gathering of deranged sadists hiding behind mild
28:07
Speaker 1: mannered lives. They were high profile officials, businessmen, and even judges,
28:12
Speaker 1: all of whom believed they were beyond the law. After
28:14
Speaker 1: this point, the murderers came to be known as the
28:17
Speaker 1: Family after a detective referred to the group as one big,
28:20
Speaker 1: happy family. The name stuck, used as a hook by
28:23
Speaker 1: the media and since then has haunted the people of
28:26
Speaker 1: Adelaide the investigation. One of these suspects that first came
28:30
Speaker 1: to be synonymous with the family was the man whose
28:33
Speaker 1: name continued to pop up in the investigation numerous times.
28:36
Speaker 1: Bevin Spencer von einem In, associate of Bevin's, came to
28:39
Speaker 1: police early in the investigation. He was nicknamed mister B
28:43
Speaker 1: and his true name has never been revealed even to
28:46
Speaker 1: this day. And what mister B had to say was shocking.
28:49
Speaker 1: This man, a mild mannered accountant during the day, was
28:52
Speaker 1: actually a killer, and with the help of his associates,
28:54
Speaker 1: he had murdered the five boys and assaulted many more.
28:57
Speaker 1: This tip led to a long investigation on von Einum,
29:01
Speaker 1: where it was found that he had been implicated in
29:03
Speaker 1: several assaults in the area, but he was never criminally
29:06
Speaker 1: charged with any Von Einem was a man with a
29:09
Speaker 1: troubled past himself. He grew up poor in facial abuse
29:13
Speaker 1: as a child, and at the time of the investigation,
29:15
Speaker 1: he had been living with his mother in the northern
29:17
Speaker 1: suburb of Paradise, and he was said to be polite.
29:20
Speaker 1: People who had interacted with him had good things to say.
29:23
Speaker 1: But this cover would soon be blown. You see, the
29:25
Speaker 1: police using a database that can track what prescriptions are
29:28
Speaker 1: given and to whom, found that Von Einem headed prescription
29:32
Speaker 1: for Max, the prescription sedative common in the disco scene
29:36
Speaker 1: and the same drug found in several of the boys's bodies.
29:39
Speaker 1: The police then took von Einem to the police station
29:42
Speaker 1: where they would conduct their questioning. When Einem was interviewed,
29:44
Speaker 1: he showed a certain suspicious demeanor, which to the police,
29:48
Speaker 1: set him high on their suspect list. The strangest part
29:51
Speaker 1: of the interview with von Einum, according to police, is
29:53
Speaker 1: that when he was asked how he would commit a murder,
29:56
Speaker 1: he replied that he wouldn't because it was quote unethical
29:59
Speaker 1: to kill. He said that he used the man to
30:02
Speaker 1: help him sleep, but he used no other drugs. When
30:05
Speaker 1: the police brought out a bottle of nech item became
30:08
Speaker 1: incredibly nervous. He said he had the flu when Calvin
30:11
Speaker 1: was kidnapped, but consented to DNA collection and a search
30:14
Speaker 1: of his home. Afterward, Von Einem fled the country for
30:17
Speaker 1: a vacation to the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union.
30:20
Speaker 1: The police would go on to search his home and
30:22
Speaker 1: in his closet they found a hidden ledge where they
30:25
Speaker 1: found valiant mates and all of which were prescribed to him.
30:29
Speaker 1: These drugs had all been found in Richard Kelvin's toxicology report.
30:32
Speaker 1: After this discovery, they found fibers from Bevin's bedroom that
30:36
Speaker 1: had also been present on the young boy. Von Einem
30:39
Speaker 1: liked to dye his hair jet black. He had a
30:41
Speaker 1: regular hairdresser he visited, and one of his black hairs
30:44
Speaker 1: was found on the corpse of Richard Calvin. Now the
30:46
Speaker 1: police remembered the man who had given the tip about
30:49
Speaker 1: Von Einem in the first place, mister B. Using the
30:52
Speaker 1: information that mister B had given them, they tracked him
30:54
Speaker 1: down and asked for everything he knew. Mister B claimed
30:58
Speaker 1: that he was present for the rips of the young
31:00
Speaker 1: men and boys, but never present for their murders, though
31:03
Speaker 1: he did know that Bevin had committed them. He told
31:05
Speaker 1: the police that von Einem would often cruise around in
31:07
Speaker 1: his car looking to pick up young men, but that
31:10
Speaker 1: he didn't cruise alone. Von Einem would lure the young
31:13
Speaker 1: boys and young men into his car, saying they were
31:15
Speaker 1: headed to a party where there would be alcohol in girls.
31:18
Speaker 1: Mister B said that usually Von Einen would have other
31:21
Speaker 1: people in the car with him, all co conspirators, to
31:24
Speaker 1: make the story about this party more believable. However, once
31:27
Speaker 1: in the car, the victims would be given a beer
31:30
Speaker 1: laced with drugs, causing them to lose consciousness. After they
31:33
Speaker 1: would be taken to one of several locations to be
31:36
Speaker 1: sulted and sometimes murdered. And mister B wasn't the only
31:40
Speaker 1: one who had said this before another young man had
31:42
Speaker 1: come forward with a similar story. This man said he
31:45
Speaker 1: had been picked up in a car driven by a man, drugged,
31:48
Speaker 1: taken to a house, and had been assaulted by multiple men.
31:51
Speaker 1: Mister B also gave many names of people who were
31:54
Speaker 1: associated with von Einem, and even though the police questioned them,
31:57
Speaker 1: there wasn't enough evidence to charge anyone with a cry.
32:00
Speaker 1: But von Einem didn't get off so easily due to
32:03
Speaker 1: the evidence at hand. He was arrested and tried for
32:06
Speaker 1: the murder of Richard Kelvin on November third, nineteen eighty three.
32:09
Speaker 1: When he returned to the country. On February twentieth, nineteen
32:12
Speaker 1: eighty four, the committal hearing began in order to decide
32:15
Speaker 1: if there was enough evidence to take the case to court.
32:18
Speaker 1: Von Einem had originally said that he was sick with
32:20
Speaker 1: the flu on the night of the abduction, but faced
32:22
Speaker 1: with mounting evidence, he admitted that the boy had been
32:25
Speaker 1: with him. He stated that Richard and he had been
32:28
Speaker 1: in contact on the fifth of June nineteen eighty three,
32:31
Speaker 1: and that he had been driving down O'Connell Street, where
32:33
Speaker 1: Richard had been walking. Von Aiinam said he was merely
32:36
Speaker 1: there to park and then find a place to get
32:38
Speaker 1: fish and chips for dinner. He stated that while trying
32:41
Speaker 1: to find parking on a side street, he had almost
32:43
Speaker 1: run over Richard, who was jogging straight at the car.
32:45
Speaker 1: The two had begun to talk, and Ininem stated to
32:48
Speaker 1: the court that he believed Richard had bisexual tendencies, and
32:51
Speaker 1: they spoke about Richard's problems at school. According to Einem,
32:54
Speaker 1: Kelvin willingly got into the car, contradicting the raised voices
32:58
Speaker 1: and cries for help that multiple witnesses had hurt. They
33:01
Speaker 1: then drove to von Ainam's home, and Bevin stated that
33:04
Speaker 1: the two had sat on his bed, and this way
33:06
Speaker 1: he was attempting to explain the bedfibers on Richard's clothing.
33:10
Speaker 1: According to von Einem, the two satin played the golden
33:13
Speaker 1: harp that Item kept in his room. The police did
33:15
Speaker 1: see this harp when they seized Item's drug supply, but
33:18
Speaker 1: this didn't seem to explain the fibers from Item's cardigan.
33:21
Speaker 1: To answer that, Item said he had hugged Richard to
33:24
Speaker 1: console him after the boy had become upset talking about
33:26
Speaker 1: the bullying he had been experiencing at school. Item said
33:30
Speaker 1: that Richard was there for two hours and afterward he
33:32
Speaker 1: had dropped him off at Royal Adelaide Hospital, giving him
33:35
Speaker 1: twenty dollars for some cab fare. The story seemed incredibly detailed,
33:39
Speaker 1: but it didn't fit Itam had contradicted his earlier statement
33:42
Speaker 1: about being sick with the flu, and the amount of
33:44
Speaker 1: fibers on Kelvin's body was too great. For him to
33:47
Speaker 1: have only been there for two hours. The court just
33:49
Speaker 1: didn't buy it. The judge, Magistrate Nick Manos, ordered Einem
33:54
Speaker 1: to stand trial for his crimes on the twenty fifth
33:56
Speaker 1: of May nineteen eighty four. On October fifteenth of the
33:59
Speaker 1: same year, Von Eidem faced a jury of twelve of
34:02
Speaker 1: his peers and pled not guilty. He was represented by
34:05
Speaker 1: Barry Jennings and Helena Jasinski, who had been his solicitor
34:08
Speaker 1: since the murder investigation began. Solicitor is what they call
34:13
Speaker 1: an attorney in other countries other than America. On November fifth,
34:17
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four, after mountains of evidence against him was
34:20
Speaker 1: admitted into court, Von Eidem was found guilty of the
34:23
Speaker 1: murder of Richard Calvin, which automatically sentenced him to life
34:26
Speaker 1: in prison. He had a non parole period of twenty
34:28
Speaker 1: four years. Unlikely he'll never be released. Yet he wasn't
34:32
Speaker 1: charged with any of the other killings. There were many
34:34
Speaker 1: similarities between the murder of Richard Calvin and the murders
34:37
Speaker 1: of the other victims, yet Item didn't stand accused of
34:40
Speaker 1: any of them. This wouldn't be allowed to stand for long.
34:43
Speaker 1: The murders were always considered to be committed by the
34:45
Speaker 1: same person, and the police were certain of this fact.
34:48
Speaker 1: You see, the deaths of Alan Barnes and Mark Langley
34:51
Speaker 1: were especially similar, and so four years after the murder conviction,
34:55
Speaker 1: an inquest was ordered into the deaths of the other
34:57
Speaker 1: four young men in nineteen eighty eight. And now let's
35:00
Speaker 1: talk about the detectives and take a closer look. So
35:03
Speaker 1: because of the nature of the crimes committed against the victims,
35:06
Speaker 1: especially the anal injuries, the crime had always been considered
35:10
Speaker 1: to be still in nature. The police throughout the investigation
35:14
Speaker 1: had suspected that Bevin was responsible for the deaths of
35:17
Speaker 1: all five of the victims, and using the similarity between
35:19
Speaker 1: the cases, they brought Bevin up on charges of killing
35:22
Speaker 1: both Alan Barnes and Mark Langley, but they couldn't yet
35:25
Speaker 1: make the killings of Neil and peterstick. In the May
35:28
Speaker 1: of nineteen ninety, Bevin was ordered to stand trial for
35:30
Speaker 1: two more murders. Bevin was tried by Justice Calvin Duggan
35:34
Speaker 1: that same year. However, he found a similarity evidence, as
35:38
Speaker 1: it was called, was inadmissible. He couldn't be charged simply
35:40
Speaker 1: because the cases were so similar. They attempted to use
35:43
Speaker 1: the evidence supplied by mister B. Yet the Justice ruled
35:46
Speaker 1: that the defense could question mister B on his testimony
35:49
Speaker 1: as well. This turned out to be a huge blow
35:51
Speaker 1: for the defense, as the South Australia Attorney General advised
35:55
Speaker 1: that the prosecution dropped the charges for Mark Langley's murder.
35:58
Speaker 1: Mister B's story apparently couldn't stand up the scrutiny. He
36:01
Speaker 1: had given the wrong date for the Alan Barnes kidnapping
36:04
Speaker 1: and therefore his testimony was thrown out, despite the rest
36:07
Speaker 1: of his story being incredibly accurate and detailed that one
36:10
Speaker 1: slip caused the entire case to crumble. Then, shortly afterwards,
36:14
Speaker 1: the prosecution faced further issues finding associates of von Ainam
36:18
Speaker 1: who would corroborate the evidence against him, now that mister
36:21
Speaker 1: B was considered an unreliable witness. After more advice from
36:24
Speaker 1: the South Australia Attorney General, the prosecution entered a noel
36:28
Speaker 1: prosecute or abandonment for the murder charge of Alan Barnes.
36:32
Speaker 1: It appeared that powerful people didn't want the matter looked
36:35
Speaker 1: further into. Alan, Mark, Neil, Peter and Richard had all
36:39
Speaker 1: died under very similar circumstances. Yet after roadblocks and only
36:43
Speaker 1: one willing witness, the charges began to fall apart left
36:46
Speaker 1: and right. Bevin von Einem was allowed to escape with
36:49
Speaker 1: only one murder conviction, but it was clear that he
36:52
Speaker 1: had a hand in every murder. Now, mister B, that
36:54
Speaker 1: unnamed witness had stated that Bevin had his eye on
36:57
Speaker 1: Allen for some time and that he had been in
36:59
Speaker 1: the car with Ben when he coaxed Alan into his
37:01
Speaker 1: vehicle with promises of going to a party. He further
37:04
Speaker 1: stated that he had watched Bevin kidnap, drug and rip
37:07
Speaker 1: several young men. But a whole in his story had
37:10
Speaker 1: been found by the defense, all amounting to a change
37:12
Speaker 1: date in his testimony, and Bevin was allowed to go
37:15
Speaker 1: free from the charges. But Bevin wasn't the only killer
37:18
Speaker 1: who didn't face justice. Mister B implicated others in his
37:22
Speaker 1: testimony who were also let free, such as mister R
37:26
Speaker 1: otherwise known as the Businessman. So keep in mind these
37:30
Speaker 1: young men we've talked about, you know, we're fifteen, seventeen,
37:33
Speaker 1: younger than that. So these men are running a pedophile ring,
37:36
Speaker 1: a murderous pedophile ring. And it's clear at this point
37:39
Speaker 1: that the government is putting their hand in here and saying,
37:42
Speaker 1: don't look into this. They're shutting down these charges. I mean,
37:45
Speaker 1: what's the reasoning. This guy is providing incredibly detailed testimony
37:49
Speaker 1: that could actually bust this thing wide open, and yet
37:52
Speaker 1: he gets a date wrong, which is very easy to do.
37:55
Speaker 1: Sometimes I forget people's birthdays, my family member's birthdays. It's
37:59
Speaker 1: very easy to get confused dates. I'm sure you guys know.
38:01
Speaker 1: And with this one confused date, the whole case crumbles.
38:05
Speaker 1: Then you got the people inserting themselves, top cops in
38:08
Speaker 1: the state coming in and saying drop these charges. And
38:11
Speaker 1: now we get into Bevin and the businessman. Bevin had
38:14
Speaker 1: a close relationship with a man known only as the Businessman.
38:17
Speaker 1: Because of suppression orders conveniently placed on the case, many
38:21
Speaker 1: of the names of the suspects have never been made public.
38:24
Speaker 1: This includes mister B and this accused killer rapist, the businessman.
38:29
Speaker 1: So Bevin attended many parties at the house owned by
38:32
Speaker 1: the businessman, and often he was accompanied by non consenting
38:35
Speaker 1: young males miners, who were usually either semi conscious or
38:39
Speaker 1: not conscious at all. The group that Bevin participated in
38:42
Speaker 1: at the businessman's home had allegedly been going on for
38:45
Speaker 1: many years since nineteen seventy one after a failed abduction
38:49
Speaker 1: attempt on a young teenage boy. The boy had escaped
38:52
Speaker 1: and reported the incident to local police, and it became
38:55
Speaker 1: one of the many assault cases opened against Bevin that
38:58
Speaker 1: seemed to go nowhere. As the years going on, Bevin
39:00
Speaker 1: apparently turned to even darker roots, murdering his victims and
39:04
Speaker 1: dumping the bodies Mister b That witness had implicated the
39:08
Speaker 1: businessmen and many other co conspirators, and yet none of
39:11
Speaker 1: them ever fixed a single criminal charge or were even investigated.
39:15
Speaker 1: They were interviewed, however, and their positions offer insight as
39:18
Speaker 1: to why they escaped freely. Among the crowd of suspects
39:21
Speaker 1: were seven legal professionals, two politicians that a lot of
39:25
Speaker 1: people would have known if their names had been released,
39:27
Speaker 1: a doctor, and a well known drug dealer. The businessman.
39:30
Speaker 1: Two more doctors and a hairdresser were also implicated and interviewed,
39:34
Speaker 1: Yet no one on this massive list was ever charged.
39:38
Speaker 1: Doctor Peter Milhouse one of the doctors who's known to
39:41
Speaker 1: be implicated is a man named doctor Peter Millhouse. He
39:45
Speaker 1: was a gay man in Adelaide who often prayed on
39:47
Speaker 1: young men. Allegedly, doctor Millhouse paid young Maile products with
39:51
Speaker 1: drugs in exchange for several favors. Doctor Peter Millhouse had
39:55
Speaker 1: allegedly been in a cecil relationship with Neil Muhir before
39:58
Speaker 1: his death. However, this relationlationship was more based on mutual
40:01
Speaker 1: advantage than attraction. As Milhouse was a doctor, he could
40:05
Speaker 1: get prescription drugs, including methadone for his quote unquote lover.
40:09
Speaker 1: You see, Neil was a addict and often used methadone
40:13
Speaker 1: to make the come down of heroin an easier experience.
40:15
Speaker 1: Doctor Milhouse allegedly provided many drugs for Neil, but as
40:19
Speaker 1: his addiction worsened, Milhouse became tired of the young man
40:22
Speaker 1: he was taking advantage of. On the relationship deteriorated. Milhouse
40:26
Speaker 1: was said to be the last person confirmed to be
40:28
Speaker 1: in Neil's company before his disappearance, and so he became
40:31
Speaker 1: a suspect in his death. But more than that, the
40:34
Speaker 1: way that Neil's body was discovered left many clues. The
40:37
Speaker 1: body had been mutilated, certainly, but it had been done
40:40
Speaker 1: by someone with surgical skills and anatomical knowledge. The body
40:44
Speaker 1: had been cut apart in ways that spoke to a
40:46
Speaker 1: man with high education and practice with surgical tools. Because
40:50
Speaker 1: of these facts, doctor Milhouse was brought up on charges
40:53
Speaker 1: of committing the murder. However, due to a lack of evidence,
40:56
Speaker 1: he was acquitted of the crime. Doctor Milhouse had insisted
40:59
Speaker 1: that he wasn't of coping with even the smallest surgery,
41:02
Speaker 1: and much of the evidence against him was deemed speculative,
41:05
Speaker 1: but Adelaide to this day is unconvinced. When Peter Milhouse
41:09
Speaker 1: died in twenty fifteen, the Sydney Morning Herald posted an
41:12
Speaker 1: online obituary. Among the kind messages left by family and friends,
41:16
Speaker 1: two comments stand out, reading hope he suffered just like
41:19
Speaker 1: his victims did in the family murders. In Adelaide, he
41:22
Speaker 1: is now in hell and the next in all caps murderer. Obviously,
41:27
Speaker 1: Adelaide did not all have love for the doctor. Neither
41:30
Speaker 1: did they have love for Von Einem. Doctor Milhouse shared
41:33
Speaker 1: another rather large similarity with the convicted killer, drug dealing.
41:37
Speaker 1: At the time of Neil's death. He was also not
41:39
Speaker 1: only associated with Milhouse the doctor, but he was associated
41:42
Speaker 1: with von Einem as well, through a woman named Sarah
41:45
Speaker 1: Novak Bevan von Einam was well known for being able
41:48
Speaker 1: to get drugs, and with this tactic, he recruited many
41:51
Speaker 1: participants for his schemes. Some of these names that come
41:54
Speaker 1: up in these schemes are Sarah Novak, Lewis Turder, Prue Furman,
41:58
Speaker 1: and a man known only as PJ. You see. Bevin
42:01
Speaker 1: von Einem recruited many people to help him, but the
42:03
Speaker 1: most common names brought up are the names of drag
42:06
Speaker 1: queens and transgender women whom he used to lure men
42:09
Speaker 1: into his car before they could be drugged and taken
42:11
Speaker 1: to a secondary location where the torture would begin. Sarah
42:15
Speaker 1: Novak had known Bevin von Einem since she was fifteen
42:18
Speaker 1: years old and knew both him and victim Neil Muir.
42:21
Speaker 1: Bevin allegedly had a seile relationship with Neil four years
42:25
Speaker 1: before his murder. Keep in mind he was a teenager.
42:28
Speaker 1: This would make Bevin a pedophile, and the two had
42:31
Speaker 1: stayed close, most likely because Bevin could procure drugs to
42:34
Speaker 1: fuel Neil's addiction. Sarah benefited from Bevin in a similar way.
42:38
Speaker 1: She was a mad fax addict. One of the very
42:40
Speaker 1: prescription drugs that was recovered from Bevin's closet Using this tool,
42:45
Speaker 1: Bevin manipulated Sarah into luring young men for him to
42:48
Speaker 1: fulfill his sick desires. And Sarah wasn't alone in this act.
42:52
Speaker 1: She was joined by Prue Furman, another transgender woman who
42:55
Speaker 1: was used by Einem to lure young men and boys.
42:58
Speaker 1: Prue was not manipulated through drugs, however, she actually took
43:02
Speaker 1: part in the rooks. Another victim came forward in between
43:06
Speaker 1: the murders of Mark Langley and Richard Kelvin to prove
43:09
Speaker 1: this fact. You see, Bevin had used the same tactic
43:12
Speaker 1: as with the other victims, luring in a sixteen year
43:14
Speaker 1: old named George with the promise of drugs, girls, and partying.
43:18
Speaker 1: George was taken to the secondary location and Prue read
43:21
Speaker 1: the boy before he blacked out. Bevin the boy as well,
43:24
Speaker 1: but allowed him to go free when he awoke. The
43:26
Speaker 1: boy reported to the police and Prue was brought up
43:29
Speaker 1: on charges. However, the case fell through, as like every
43:33
Speaker 1: other case in the story. According to the justice system,
43:36
Speaker 1: it couldn't be proven that the set wasn't consensual, nor
43:39
Speaker 1: that Prue didn't know George was underage. Now that's insane.
43:43
Speaker 1: Think about that. So a pedophile can't be held accountable
43:46
Speaker 1: for raping a young victim because apparently you can't prove
43:50
Speaker 1: that there was not consensual and you can't prove that
43:53
Speaker 1: the pedophile didn't know that the kid was underage. I'd
43:56
Speaker 1: like to see that stand up in court, not only
43:58
Speaker 1: here in America, but just anywhere in the world. Today,
44:00
Speaker 1: I feel like we've gone far beyond that mentality. Another
44:04
Speaker 1: name in this group is PJ, who was allegedly a
44:06
Speaker 1: victim of the group at first who later became their friend.
44:10
Speaker 1: PJ wasn't transgender, but dressed as a woman to help
44:13
Speaker 1: Bevin lure young men. There are allegedly more women who
44:16
Speaker 1: helped von Einum, as well as drag queens, but one
44:19
Speaker 1: name became especially important in later years. Lewis Turder happened
44:23
Speaker 1: to be the man who owned the secondary location, a
44:26
Speaker 1: house where he lived with Prufe Furman and other transgender women.
44:30
Speaker 1: Lewis turt was a teenager when he met Bevin von
44:33
Speaker 1: Einem in the sixties, long before second contact between two
44:36
Speaker 1: men was legal in the state. However, this wasn't a
44:39
Speaker 1: bond based on mutual understanding. It was a mind shared
44:43
Speaker 1: in mutual monstrosity. As both found the act of drugging
44:46
Speaker 1: and ripping young boys to be appealing. As time passed,
44:49
Speaker 1: Bevin began to use Lewis Turt's residence as a place
44:52
Speaker 1: to bring his victims, under the agreement that after Bevin
44:55
Speaker 1: had finished them, Lewis would have his term and could
45:00
Speaker 1: many times as he liked. Lewis was one of the
45:02
Speaker 1: drag queens that Einem used to lure young men, going
45:05
Speaker 1: by the name of Lena when he was in character.
45:07
Speaker 1: According to mister b both he and the businessman would
45:10
Speaker 1: accompany Bevin to the residents to enact their crimes against
45:13
Speaker 1: the boys of Adelaide, but later interviews didn't see Lewis,
45:16
Speaker 1: the property owner, being so honest. He admitted that he
45:19
Speaker 1: had sent to the victims, but only two of them.
45:22
Speaker 1: When asked in an interview what had happened to the
45:24
Speaker 1: boys that Bevin would bring to his shared home, he stated,
45:28
Speaker 1: all I know. They came. He dropped them off at
45:31
Speaker 1: our place. He went home, We let them sleep it off.
45:33
Speaker 1: They left in the morning, That's what he said. The
45:35
Speaker 1: interview was conducted for the Foxtel podcast and television show
45:39
Speaker 1: Frozen Lies. It aims to get the word out about
45:42
Speaker 1: the murders, as well as lift the suppression orders on
45:44
Speaker 1: many of the names involved in the case. One of
45:47
Speaker 1: these names which had been formally suppressed was Prue Furman.
45:50
Speaker 1: Lewis Turner was reluctant to divulge all he knew. Perhaps
45:54
Speaker 1: he believed he would be in danger if he revealed
45:56
Speaker 1: his secrets, but secrets would eventually come out many years
45:59
Speaker 1: after them took place. In all, this group has been
46:02
Speaker 1: suspected of kidnapping, drugging, and rapping over one hundred and
46:06
Speaker 1: fifty young men and boys. It cannot be said how
46:08
Speaker 1: many truly fell victim to von Einem, nor can it
46:11
Speaker 1: be said how many more fell victim to the larger
46:14
Speaker 1: collection of the family. The family's members, as I said before,
46:18
Speaker 1: went far beyond Bevin von Ainam and his small group.
46:21
Speaker 1: This group included many high profile people who over the
46:25
Speaker 1: years have managed to avoid justice even after committing serious crimes.
46:30
Speaker 1: A few of these high profile members who are all
46:32
Speaker 1: but confirmed are doctor Stephen Woodards and Robert Cowan, magistrate
46:37
Speaker 1: or judge Richard Brown, as well as businessmen and boxing
46:41
Speaker 1: promoter Don Storren. In March of two thousand and eight,
46:43
Speaker 1: a cold case review was opened on the family murders case.
46:47
Speaker 1: The reward for information over the years had gradually increased
46:50
Speaker 1: in amount, with the peak of a reward amount being
46:53
Speaker 1: over a million dollars. The reward also carried an immunity
46:57
Speaker 1: offer for accomplices depending on how involved they were in
47:00
Speaker 1: the crimes. One of the suspects that the police implicated
47:03
Speaker 1: was doctor Stephen George Woodards. He specialized in physiotherapy, yet
47:08
Speaker 1: the police believed that he may have been responsible for
47:10
Speaker 1: this surgery performed on Mark Langley. He had a reputation
47:13
Speaker 1: for helping drunk young men get home from bars, but
47:16
Speaker 1: instead of truly helping them, he drugged them and ripped
47:19
Speaker 1: them as if to prove this. In twenty eleven, Woodard's
47:22
Speaker 1: was charged with five counts of wrath, yet none of
47:25
Speaker 1: these charges stuck and he was allowed to walk free.
47:28
Speaker 1: At the time of the murders, he was the lover
47:30
Speaker 1: of a magistrate in the city, Richard Dunton Brown. Brown,
47:33
Speaker 1: a magistrate or a judge, was also implicated in the
47:36
Speaker 1: family murders. He was allegedly close to one of Einem's
47:40
Speaker 1: social circles. One of these pedophile murder circles that included
47:43
Speaker 1: the businessman Von Einem's hairdresser and others. Magistrate Brown was
47:48
Speaker 1: accused of ripping two thousand and six, but the charges
47:51
Speaker 1: conveniently were once again dropped, just like every other damn
47:55
Speaker 1: charge in this story. It's infuriating. Magistrate Brown and the
47:58
Speaker 1: doctor Woodard's had've both been investigated for sale offenses against
48:03
Speaker 1: children between nineteen seventy seven and nineteen eighty one, then
48:06
Speaker 1: investigated by Adelaide's a major crimes unit for having six
48:09
Speaker 1: with underage products in nineteen eighty nine, but those investigations
48:13
Speaker 1: had also gone nowhere. So you got these men that
48:15
Speaker 1: are charged in the two thousands, the twenty tens with
48:18
Speaker 1: raping young men. Then you have evidence that they were
48:21
Speaker 1: investigated in the nineteen seventies the nineteen eighties for having
48:25
Speaker 1: with young boys and nothing came out of it. I mean,
48:27
Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on here? The boxing promoter
48:30
Speaker 1: and the named businessman is Don Storren, outed as a
48:34
Speaker 1: suspect in two thousand and eight after the cold case
48:36
Speaker 1: review was opened. This businessman differs from the one who
48:40
Speaker 1: remains unnamed due to suppression orders which have mostly yet
48:43
Speaker 1: to be lifted so store. In this boxing promoter's involvement
48:47
Speaker 1: is unclear, yet he was jailed in two thousand and
48:49
Speaker 1: six for sale offenses against boys aged thirteen to fifteen.
48:54
Speaker 1: It's like so many of these cases, these men are
48:57
Speaker 1: charged with ripping children and being a part of this
49:01
Speaker 1: robotic machine of rip and murder and in this case,
49:05
Speaker 1: torture mutilation. They might have been filming all this and
49:08
Speaker 1: selling it or passing it around their sick little circle,
49:11
Speaker 1: and they all say, oh, I had nothing to do
49:13
Speaker 1: with it, and yet all the circumstantial evidence shows they
49:16
Speaker 1: probably did do it. Like those last two guys we
49:18
Speaker 1: talked about being accused of rapping minors multiple times. Then
49:21
Speaker 1: you have this guy who was also accused of being
49:23
Speaker 1: involved in the family, never officially connected. Yet in two
49:26
Speaker 1: thousand and six, years, decades after the murders, he has
49:29
Speaker 1: found guilty of rip children. I think they should be
49:32
Speaker 1: looked at a little more seriously. The other doctor that
49:35
Speaker 1: was implicated in von Einem's crimes was doctor Robert Cowen,
49:39
Speaker 1: who was known in the gay community of Adelaide for
49:41
Speaker 1: dressing frequently as a woman. Doctor Robert Cowen or Bob Cowen,
49:45
Speaker 1: was one of the main sources of von Einem's sedative prescriptions,
49:49
Speaker 1: and out of the one hundred and thirty five prescriptions
49:51
Speaker 1: that von Einem had received, one hundred and twelve of
49:54
Speaker 1: them had came from Bob Cowen. Bob also supplied medical
49:58
Speaker 1: certificates when von Einem made to work. The police believed
50:01
Speaker 1: that Cowen and Einem had a relationship beyond that of
50:04
Speaker 1: a doctor and patient. All the suspects involved were brought
50:07
Speaker 1: in for DNA testing before the cold case review that
50:10
Speaker 1: began in two thousand and eight, but none of these
50:12
Speaker 1: key suspects faced any charges. So let's say that doctor supplied, well,
50:18
Speaker 1: he did. He supplied von Einem with these drugs. Now,
50:22
Speaker 1: let's say von Einem drugged all of his victims with
50:26
Speaker 1: these prescriptions, which he did. The doctor should be charged,
50:29
Speaker 1: just like mac Miller's drug dealer was charged, Michael Jackson's
50:32
Speaker 1: doctor was charged. This guy should be charged, and he
50:35
Speaker 1: was probably in on it. And keep in mind, all
50:37
Speaker 1: this stuff came out about all these men, this evidence
50:39
Speaker 1: that these men had been investigated in the past for
50:42
Speaker 1: pedophile crimes, that they were all in documents and through
50:46
Speaker 1: witnesses named as suspects, and nothing ever happened. And now
50:49
Speaker 1: we get into some later revelations, So it seems to
50:53
Speaker 1: the average viewer as if purposeful roadblocks or perhaps blinders,
50:57
Speaker 1: have been put on the investigation into these committed by
51:01
Speaker 1: suspected family members. But in twenty fifteen, the diaries of
51:04
Speaker 1: yet another Ininem associate promised a new lead. Trevor Peters
51:09
Speaker 1: moved in the same social circles as von Einem and
51:12
Speaker 1: lived near two of the other accomplices, Prue Furman, that
51:15
Speaker 1: transgender rapist, and Sarah Novak, the victim turned accomplice. Trevor's
51:20
Speaker 1: brother was clearing out his residence after he died when
51:23
Speaker 1: he discovered diaries. In these diary entries, Trevor detailed the
51:27
Speaker 1: abductions and murders of the victims committed by von Einem
51:30
Speaker 1: and his other associates. He also implicated doctor Stephen Woodwards,
51:34
Speaker 1: saying that he gave von Einem many of the max
51:37
Speaker 1: tablets that he would go on to use and the murders.
51:39
Speaker 1: He further stated in these diary entries, keep in mind
51:42
Speaker 1: he wasn't trying to publish these diary entries. He wasn't
51:45
Speaker 1: trying to go public with them. His family member found
51:48
Speaker 1: these diaries after he died, so he wasn't seeking any
51:52
Speaker 1: sort of a fame like this is just his legit
51:55
Speaker 1: truth stuff that he knew. He further stated that not
51:58
Speaker 1: only did Bevin von Einem rich the drugged hitchhikers he
52:01
Speaker 1: would pick up, but that Sarah Novak would work these
52:04
Speaker 1: hitchhikers as well. He also implicated another name, however, that
52:08
Speaker 1: has always been suspected, a man named Dennis Saint Dennis
52:12
Speaker 1: Bevan's hairdresser who often dyed his hair black for him.
52:15
Speaker 1: In the diary, Trevor allegedly wrote the following, Both Dennis
52:19
Speaker 1: and Bevin lived with the mothers and needed a place
52:21
Speaker 1: to take the young men for six or trade. That's
52:25
Speaker 1: in all caps and quotations, especially quote rough trade end quote.
52:29
Speaker 1: As Dennis had told me on the day that he
52:31
Speaker 1: drove me past the unit. Dennis said that they kept
52:34
Speaker 1: it secret from their families that they rented the unit
52:37
Speaker 1: end quote. So that's from his diary and Trevor's basically
52:41
Speaker 1: saying that Dennis the hairdresser and Bevin von einem lived
52:44
Speaker 1: and had the secret unit that they rented, and this
52:47
Speaker 1: is where they took the young boys for their pedophile
52:50
Speaker 1: parties and parties, and that there was a trade going
52:53
Speaker 1: on there, and even a rough trade. And in this
52:56
Speaker 1: entry he's talking about an apartment that was shared by Dennis,
53:00
Speaker 1: the hairdresser, Bevin von Einem, and possibly the businessman whose
53:04
Speaker 1: identity is still hidden. The most shocking revelation he gave, however,
53:08
Speaker 1: were the photos of Alan Barnes So. In the early
53:11
Speaker 1: part of June nineteen seventy nine, Trevor had been at
53:13
Speaker 1: Saint Dennis's hair salon while Saint Denis the Suspect worked
53:17
Speaker 1: on his hair. Bevin von Einem came into the salon
53:20
Speaker 1: and looked very happy. He looked at Dennis knowingly, and
53:24
Speaker 1: they both seemed suddenly to become excited. Dennis then hurried
53:28
Speaker 1: through the rest of the haircut and followed Bevin von
53:30
Speaker 1: Einem through a curtain. Then a few moments later, Dennis
53:34
Speaker 1: and Bevin began to giggle the words oooh, how evil, oooh,
53:38
Speaker 1: it's evil. Apparently Dennis said this many times, and Trevor
53:42
Speaker 1: went back to see what was so interesting, as he
53:45
Speaker 1: felt kind of left out. His hairdresser had just walked
53:48
Speaker 1: out on him after the haircut, and the two were
53:50
Speaker 1: now giggling behind a door. It's very strange, he found
53:53
Speaker 1: the two huddled over a table just behind the curtain,
53:57
Speaker 1: and he saw many photographs that were laying on the
53:59
Speaker 1: table round five or six pictures. In the photos, a
54:02
Speaker 1: young blond man was lying on his side in the
54:04
Speaker 1: front seat of a car with his legs bent towards
54:07
Speaker 1: the steering wheel. He was naked and a large object
54:10
Speaker 1: had been inserted into his aims. Trevor was shocked at
54:14
Speaker 1: the graphic photos and when he asked Bevin who it was,
54:17
Speaker 1: Bevin replied, oh, just some hitchhiker, and as if this
54:21
Speaker 1: wasn't sickening enough. Keep in mind Trevor was a miner
54:24
Speaker 1: at the time. Time passed and Dennis wasn't long for
54:27
Speaker 1: the world. Dennis would soon die, and in his bed
54:30
Speaker 1: at Calvary Hospital, Dennis told him that Bevin had shown
54:33
Speaker 1: him numerous naked photographs of young men, many with objects
54:37
Speaker 1: inserted into their ass. Trevor and his diary stated that
54:41
Speaker 1: Dennis threatened him afterwards, he said that if he knew
54:44
Speaker 1: what was good for him, he would keep his mouth shut.
54:46
Speaker 1: Trevor also revealed much about Lewis Turd and his diaries.
54:50
Speaker 1: He knew more than he divulged in his interview according
54:53
Speaker 1: to the entries. In these entries, he wrote the following
54:56
Speaker 1: about a conversation with Prue Furman. Quote, Lewis turd would
54:59
Speaker 1: always have a back room ready for him and Bevin
55:02
Speaker 1: ready to abuse scally the boys that Bevin brought there.
55:05
Speaker 1: She said that Lewis Turder would always have the bed
55:08
Speaker 1: made and candles ready. She said that mister r was
55:11
Speaker 1: there to meet Bevin frequently. When I questioned frequently, she said, yes,
55:16
Speaker 1: all the time. He was there lots and lots of times.
55:18
Speaker 1: End quote. In all the sickening acts of Bevin involved
55:22
Speaker 1: many players. It's apparently there were rooms ready for these
55:27
Speaker 1: murders mutilations to occur at all times, and theseris and
55:32
Speaker 1: mutilations and murders were apparently being photographed. That's what Trevor's
55:36
Speaker 1: writing about in this journal, that there's photos of these
55:39
Speaker 1: young boys, child party photos with things stuck into their apps,
55:45
Speaker 1: and these photos were being circulated from pedophile to pedophile.
55:48
Speaker 1: I don't know how big the reach was on all
55:49
Speaker 1: of this, but as always, when you get into these
55:52
Speaker 1: power players, these power brokers, these magistrates, politicians, celebrities, people
55:57
Speaker 1: that are involved in this shit, they want this shit
55:59
Speaker 1: and they increasingly and watch that's darker, and to me,
56:01
Speaker 1: it almost seems like all these men wanted to murder children,
56:05
Speaker 1: and that's why they were doing it together. In all,
56:08
Speaker 1: the sickening acts of Bevin involved so many different players,
56:11
Speaker 1: so many different people. So what stopped the police from
56:14
Speaker 1: learning of their activities years before? Well keep in mind
56:17
Speaker 1: that Bevin von Einem is still the only man imprisoned
56:21
Speaker 1: for the crimes against the Adelaide murder victims. Yet it
56:24
Speaker 1: seems through Trevor's writings and mister B's testimonies that the
56:28
Speaker 1: evidence should really be plentiful. Yet after so many years,
56:32
Speaker 1: no more arrests have been made and no one has
56:34
Speaker 1: been jailed. The ring of the family, however, has been
56:37
Speaker 1: speculated to be much larger than Bevin and his close circle.
56:41
Speaker 1: You see. Bevin's circle already involved magistrates or judges and
56:46
Speaker 1: prominent doctors in the city, but something worse was suspected
56:50
Speaker 1: than these few. You see, a book named The Family
56:52
Speaker 1: Murders Dissected took a look into a similar case, the
56:55
Speaker 1: Body in the Freezer, where a prominent Adelaide lawyer was
56:58
Speaker 1: found shot and stuffed to his own refrigeration unit. Through
57:02
Speaker 1: the lawyer's connections, which included Bevin Voneina himself. The reality
57:06
Speaker 1: of the pedophile and murdering and Adelaide could be much
57:09
Speaker 1: worse than imagine, so Bevin von Einem wasn't alone. He
57:13
Speaker 1: was said to have many co conspirators and many more
57:15
Speaker 1: friends who all moved in the same circles. In the
57:18
Speaker 1: seventies and eighties, social circles for gay men, such as bars, bookstores,
57:22
Speaker 1: and similar hangouts were emerging in society and for the family,
57:26
Speaker 1: this was not a way to express their sle identity
57:28
Speaker 1: with others, but a way to devise and meet up
57:31
Speaker 1: with others who wanted to commit horrible crimes. Bevin von
57:34
Speaker 1: Einam met many of his conspirators at a small Adelaide
57:37
Speaker 1: bookshop in nineteen sixty where they were importing hardcore homosexual
57:42
Speaker 1: magazines and films from Europe. Apparently, this group was comprised
57:46
Speaker 1: of two journalists, two legal officials, and a young lawyer
57:49
Speaker 1: by the name of Darrence Stevenson. They were average members
57:52
Speaker 1: of society by day, but at night they gathered at
57:55
Speaker 1: the bookshop to read magazines and books depicting the still
57:58
Speaker 1: abuse of boys, or watch films portraying the Act. So
58:02
Speaker 1: this was a group of pedophiles that was meeting at
58:04
Speaker 1: this bookstore to read through Child Point together and watch
58:08
Speaker 1: Child Point Together projected on a screen. And as the
58:11
Speaker 1: group grew, they began meeting at Darrence, the lawyer's home
58:14
Speaker 1: on the edge of the city of Adelaide. In the
58:16
Speaker 1: mid nineteen seventies, the group came to include important members
58:20
Speaker 1: of Adelaide's society, and they all had mostly flown under
58:23
Speaker 1: the radar. You see, until the year nineteen seventy five,
58:25
Speaker 1: and this is pretty crazy. Consensual between adult males had
58:30
Speaker 1: been illegal, but the group had begun to catch the
58:32
Speaker 1: eye of the local police. When nineteen seventy five came,
58:35
Speaker 1: many adult men began to celebrate their freedom by being
58:38
Speaker 1: more outgoing about their true identity before the family. It
58:41
Speaker 1: meant finally operating on their sick interests. The family began
58:45
Speaker 1: to access boys for the purpose of still abuse, targeting
58:49
Speaker 1: those who were troubled or caught up in the wrong
58:51
Speaker 1: side of the law. They were seen as easy prey,
58:53
Speaker 1: with most being runaways or wards of the state. During
58:56
Speaker 1: this time, people who were part of this group began
58:58
Speaker 1: entering positions of power in the judiciary system, such as
59:01
Speaker 1: a lawyer by the name of Peter Liddy. Peter Liddy
59:04
Speaker 1: was appointed the youngest ever magistrate or judge in South
59:08
Speaker 1: Australia in the year nineteen seventy four, at the young
59:11
Speaker 1: age of twenty nine. However, twenty eight years later, the
59:14
Speaker 1: same Peter Liddy, the same man who broke records and
59:17
Speaker 1: was supposed to uphold and fight for justice, would be
59:19
Speaker 1: arrested for the sele abuse of young boys. It's widely
59:22
Speaker 1: considered that Peter Liddy obtained this position in the government,
59:26
Speaker 1: that he was given this high ranking, powerful position because
59:30
Speaker 1: of the influence of the family. In the early months
59:32
Speaker 1: of nineteen seventy nine. You see, the family was already
59:35
Speaker 1: a group of men who remained unknown, protected by legal
59:38
Speaker 1: and social standing. Many of the members of this group,
59:41
Speaker 1: all whom were violent, vile pedophiles, though mostly unnamed, were
59:46
Speaker 1: thought to be in the high positions of power within
59:48
Speaker 1: this city. People thought they were your mayors, your politicians,
59:51
Speaker 1: your celebrities, your people who were on the news, your
59:54
Speaker 1: familiar faces in the daylight. They were supposedly protecting the
59:57
Speaker 1: city and working for the people that eight behind closed
1:00:00
Speaker 1: doors in these houses and apartments. They were ripping and
1:00:04
Speaker 1: murdering and sometimes mutilating young boys. Disturbingly, these powerful men
1:00:09
Speaker 1: had easy access to boys whom they could abuse, and
1:00:12
Speaker 1: Darrence Stevenson had become central to the group until June fourth,
1:00:16
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine. On that day, Darrence the lawyer was murdered.
1:00:20
Speaker 1: He had been shot in the back of the head
1:00:21
Speaker 1: by a twenty two rim fire round from a Ruger rifle.
1:00:25
Speaker 1: His death was speculated to be caused by his involvement
1:00:28
Speaker 1: with the family. He had received a phone call in
1:00:30
Speaker 1: fact earlier that day and was later noted as sobbing
1:00:34
Speaker 1: I want out over and over again. And this murder
1:00:36
Speaker 1: didn't seem to be random. In fact, the rifle used
1:00:40
Speaker 1: was Darrence's own rifle. Whoever had killed him was no
1:00:43
Speaker 1: threat at seeing, and they had walked into his office,
1:00:46
Speaker 1: taken the gun and shot him execution style. He seemed
1:00:49
Speaker 1: to have been killed by someone he knew, someone he trusted.
1:00:52
Speaker 1: His body was then placed in his own freezer, and
1:00:55
Speaker 1: after the body was discovered, many more disturbing things came
1:00:58
Speaker 1: to light about the creditor. You see, Darren before his death,
1:01:03
Speaker 1: would take payment for his legal services using many different methods,
1:01:06
Speaker 1: including jewelry, precious stones, drugs, and most horrifically young boys. Yeah,
1:01:12
Speaker 1: when clients couldn't pay Darren for their legal services with
1:01:16
Speaker 1: cash or checks or money orders, you heard that correctly,
1:01:19
Speaker 1: he would take payment in the form of ringing young children.
1:01:23
Speaker 1: Darren's murder became known under the title of the Body
1:01:26
Speaker 1: in the Freezer and is one of the larger cases
1:01:28
Speaker 1: associated with the family to this day. That is because
1:01:31
Speaker 1: Darrence was an original kind of member of the family.
1:01:34
Speaker 1: He was shot by somebody in the family in the
1:01:36
Speaker 1: back of the head to protect only god knows what.
1:01:39
Speaker 1: Two of the people who were questioned in the murder
1:01:41
Speaker 1: of Darrence were David Shack, Darrence's nineteen year old long
1:01:45
Speaker 1: term boyfriend, which obviously you can infer from the words
1:01:49
Speaker 1: long term means that Darrence had been dating David since
1:01:52
Speaker 1: he was a minor, and thirty three year old chiropractor
1:01:54
Speaker 1: Gino Gombardella. Darren Stevenson, the attorney who was murdered, had
1:01:59
Speaker 1: represented gom Bbardella before in court where he was being
1:02:02
Speaker 1: charged with offenses against young male children. Gino the chiropractor
1:02:07
Speaker 1: had been charged three times by nineteen sixty eight, and
1:02:10
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy nine, he was charged again with rising children.
1:02:15
Speaker 1: Gino was considered to be a scout in the family
1:02:18
Speaker 1: and was often tasked with procuring young men and boys
1:02:22
Speaker 1: for the group. In fact, Gino Gambardella had brought David
1:02:26
Speaker 1: and Darrence together when in nineteen seventy six Gino brought
1:02:29
Speaker 1: David Shack to Darrence's home. David, through a testimony by Gino,
1:02:34
Speaker 1: was found guilty of Darrence's murder and eventually sentenced to prison.
1:02:38
Speaker 1: Now Geno Gambardella, on the other hand, was not further prosecuted,
1:02:42
Speaker 1: even with the assault charges pending against him. Gino took
1:02:45
Speaker 1: his children and fled to Italy in nineteen eighty, leaving
1:02:48
Speaker 1: behind his wife and the family home. Because of this incident,
1:02:52
Speaker 1: the family nearly crumbled. Gino, the chiropractor, the rice of
1:02:56
Speaker 1: young children, the pedophile was a key to their operation,
1:02:59
Speaker 1: and apparently something upset Darrence the lawyer so greatly that
1:03:02
Speaker 1: he at the time wanted to get out. It seemed
1:03:05
Speaker 1: that he had seen something so truly monstrous, something so
1:03:09
Speaker 1: horrible and despicable, that even he, a veteran pedophile for decades,
1:03:14
Speaker 1: couldn't stomach. Like that's hardcore Darrence was already pretty much
1:03:19
Speaker 1: a founding member of this group and was a hardcore
1:03:21
Speaker 1: pedophile himself who had taken part in all this child
1:03:25
Speaker 1: preying written abduction of young boys. But Darrence had seen
1:03:29
Speaker 1: something so truly terrible he could not stand it and
1:03:33
Speaker 1: he wanted to get out. He was crying. But what
1:03:36
Speaker 1: was this that he had seen? Well, rumors started that
1:03:38
Speaker 1: Darrence had been asked to supply his much younger lover David,
1:03:43
Speaker 1: to star in a violent torture film. But whatever the
1:03:47
Speaker 1: case was, he was killed for his denial to participate
1:03:50
Speaker 1: this murder. This message that there was no option to
1:03:53
Speaker 1: deny the family what they wanted caused many of the
1:03:56
Speaker 1: members to lay low for quite some time. One member
1:03:58
Speaker 1: that didn't slow down, however, was Bevin von Einem, an
1:04:01
Speaker 1: associate of Darren Stevenson, the murdered lawyer. Bevin von Einem
1:04:05
Speaker 1: had become friends with high profile members of the family
1:04:08
Speaker 1: through shared interests, in this case, the sick satisfaction they
1:04:12
Speaker 1: all gain from watching films of young boys being beaten, ripped,
1:04:17
Speaker 1: and sometimes murdered on camera. It's alleged that many members
1:04:21
Speaker 1: of the family, the high ranking social elite, had aided
1:04:24
Speaker 1: Bevin von einem in his crimes against young men and boys,
1:04:27
Speaker 1: but it was also said that many more boys that
1:04:30
Speaker 1: went missing were also victims of the family, used for
1:04:33
Speaker 1: snuff films and then discarded. A theory regarding Bevin's killings
1:04:37
Speaker 1: is that he used his victims to create snuff films
1:04:41
Speaker 1: for the family. So if you don't know what a
1:04:43
Speaker 1: snuff film, it's a film where somebody is murdered, like
1:04:47
Speaker 1: actually murdered on camera. And there are some really truly sick,
1:04:52
Speaker 1: twisted people out there that get off on this shit.
1:04:55
Speaker 1: If you look it up online, it's kind of insane.
1:04:57
Speaker 1: There are people that say, oh, there's no proof, but
1:05:00
Speaker 1: a snuff film has ever been produced in real life.
1:05:03
Speaker 1: There's no proof there's ever been a snuff film made.
1:05:06
Speaker 1: Shut the up. There are thousands of snuff films that
1:05:10
Speaker 1: have been proved to have been produced. So I don't
1:05:12
Speaker 1: know why there is this myth online that snuff films
1:05:15
Speaker 1: themselves are a myth because they do in fact exist.
1:05:18
Speaker 1: And just like with North Fox Island and the Oakland
1:05:21
Speaker 1: County child killings, there you go. There are these allegations
1:05:24
Speaker 1: family members to this day that believe that those kids
1:05:26
Speaker 1: were murdered on film to be sold. Here you go
1:05:28
Speaker 1: again with the snuff films and the family. What seems
1:05:32
Speaker 1: to happen is that these pedophile rings start off rain children.
1:05:36
Speaker 1: Then they group together and they decide they want to
1:05:39
Speaker 1: rag kids together. Then some people start making money from
1:05:42
Speaker 1: these rinks or they really enjoy these risks. And as
1:05:45
Speaker 1: time goes on, some of the clients where the people
1:05:47
Speaker 1: involved in these pedophile rings start to say, rating a
1:05:50
Speaker 1: child just isn't enough. What would I really like to do? Well, nowadays,
1:05:54
Speaker 1: I would really like to torture a child. Then the
1:05:57
Speaker 1: torture turns to man, I'd really like to rape, torture
1:06:00
Speaker 1: and murder this child. And those there are pedophiles out
1:06:03
Speaker 1: there that you want to see. That siction and that's
1:06:06
Speaker 1: why these snuff fulms, you know, slowly you see in time,
1:06:09
Speaker 1: especially in the seventies and eighties, start to be produced
1:06:12
Speaker 1: by these groups. So the family though, back to the family,
1:06:15
Speaker 1: they somehow went untouched throughout the process of all these investigations,
1:06:20
Speaker 1: with authorities failing to properly investigate or interview these high
1:06:24
Speaker 1: level people, these doctors, these politicians and judges that were
1:06:28
Speaker 1: supposedly involved. The reasonings were less than convincing, normally being
1:06:33
Speaker 1: called unreliable tips. And sometimes there was no reason at
1:06:36
Speaker 1: all for failing to investigate these accused people. And when
1:06:39
Speaker 1: some of these people were finally brought up on charges,
1:06:42
Speaker 1: their charges seemed to disappear, as if by magic or
1:06:46
Speaker 1: more likely through influence. So were the family murders deliberately
1:06:51
Speaker 1: unsolved or were people ordered to stay quiet? Now one
1:06:54
Speaker 1: could argue that Bevin von Einem acted alone, but there
1:06:58
Speaker 1: are clues that the family was involved. You see, before
1:07:01
Speaker 1: Allen's death he had charges brought against him. It said
1:07:04
Speaker 1: that he engaged the services of none other than von
1:07:07
Speaker 1: Ainem's associate, Darrence Stevenson to help defend himself. He was
1:07:12
Speaker 1: also accused of dabbling in recreational drugs that he may
1:07:15
Speaker 1: have purchased from Bevin von Einem. Not only this, but
1:07:18
Speaker 1: accusations have been made that Darko Castelan, the boy that
1:07:22
Speaker 1: Alan met shortly before his death, had been seen with
1:07:25
Speaker 1: Gno Gombardella in that pedophile and that the two had
1:07:28
Speaker 1: been trying to lure in a fifteen year old boy
1:07:30
Speaker 1: to take part in his second encounter with them. Darrence
1:07:33
Speaker 1: the lawyer was also certainly involved. In the family, and
1:07:36
Speaker 1: Bevin von Einem was said to be one of his
1:07:39
Speaker 1: closest associates. There's more than enough evidence between these connections
1:07:43
Speaker 1: to believe that von Einem committed these murders. But he
1:07:46
Speaker 1: wasn't alone. He had help one hundred percent. Back to
1:07:49
Speaker 1: mister p this guy still we don't know who the
1:07:51
Speaker 1: hell mister B is. Mister B is walking out in
1:07:54
Speaker 1: Adelaide in Australia to this day a freeman. And he
1:07:57
Speaker 1: named many of these associates and gave great detail on
1:08:01
Speaker 1: their and murder and torture of these young boys, but
1:08:04
Speaker 1: none of them were ever even charged with these crimes.
1:08:06
Speaker 1: At every turn when you look into this story, just
1:08:09
Speaker 1: like so many other stories, luck seems to favor the
1:08:12
Speaker 1: family or something darker than luck, social influence and death threats.
1:08:17
Speaker 1: You see, Darrence, that lawyer had been killed for trying
1:08:20
Speaker 1: to leave the family. He'd been shot in the back
1:08:22
Speaker 1: of the head and stuffed into a freezer. Perhaps the
1:08:25
Speaker 1: family was kept together through these sorts of threats. As
1:08:28
Speaker 1: Dennis Saint Denis told Trevor, you'll keep your mouth shut
1:08:31
Speaker 1: if you know what's good for you. To make matters
1:08:33
Speaker 1: even more concerning Bevin von Einem was not only accused
1:08:36
Speaker 1: of the five murders. Throughout the late seventies and early eighties,
1:08:39
Speaker 1: mister Bees's testimony implicated Bevin von Einem in numerous crimes,
1:08:44
Speaker 1: actually crimes involved in the disappearances or murders of up
1:08:49
Speaker 1: to one hundred and fifty missing and murdered young men
1:08:53
Speaker 1: and children pedophile crimes. These people were implicated in the murders, subductions,
1:08:59
Speaker 1: disappear searances of up to one hundred and fifty miners.
1:09:02
Speaker 1: I believe they're awn miners. They could be, you know,
1:09:05
Speaker 1: up to age eighteen. I don't really know the age
1:09:07
Speaker 1: of consent in Australia, but they're all young. Mister b
1:09:10
Speaker 1: implicated Bevin in the Adelaide Oval kidnappings, when two young
1:09:13
Speaker 1: girls were kidnapped from an Australian rules football match at
1:09:17
Speaker 1: the Adelaide Oval. He was also implicated in the abduction
1:09:20
Speaker 1: of the Beaumont Children when three young siblings disappeared from
1:09:23
Speaker 1: Glenel Beach near Adelaide. Bevin von Einem, if you don't
1:09:26
Speaker 1: know this by now, is truly a fucking monster, and
1:09:30
Speaker 1: even in his many years of incarceration, his ways have
1:09:33
Speaker 1: never seemed to have changed. You see. Debbie Marshall, a
1:09:36
Speaker 1: true crime author, visited the murderer von Einem in Port
1:09:40
Speaker 1: Augusta Prison, where he had been transferred from Yatala Labor
1:09:44
Speaker 1: Prison in two thousand and seven. At Yatala, Bevin von
1:09:47
Speaker 1: Einem had been investigated for allegedly riding an inmate several times.
1:09:52
Speaker 1: He'd also been accused of writing several fictitious stories about
1:09:56
Speaker 1: sell acts between a child and a man, though the
1:09:59
Speaker 1: hands and fingerprints were later said not to match. I
1:10:02
Speaker 1: don't buy it bold, I think he definitely wrote that
1:10:05
Speaker 1: six foot Bevin was then placed in high security at
1:10:08
Speaker 1: Port Augusta, just as he had been at the Atalla prison,
1:10:12
Speaker 1: frighteningly mirroring mister B's testimony. Around August of two thousand
1:10:16
Speaker 1: and seven, a seven News network archive asked for information
1:10:20
Speaker 1: about a man seen near a storm drain that the
1:10:23
Speaker 1: police were investigating concerning the disappearance of those Beaumont children
1:10:27
Speaker 1: we just mentioned. And the man in the news film
1:10:29
Speaker 1: bore a striking, frightening resemblance to Bevin von Einem in
1:10:34
Speaker 1: his youth. This was the man that Debbie Marshall had
1:10:36
Speaker 1: come to see, and he had not lost any of
1:10:38
Speaker 1: his horrific demeter When she sat down in front of him,
1:10:41
Speaker 1: Debbie stated that she felt like clarice in silence of
1:10:44
Speaker 1: the lambs sitting in front of murderer and cannibal doctor
1:10:47
Speaker 1: Hannibal Lecter. Guards with guns stood in the room as
1:10:50
Speaker 1: she and the criminal began to speak. She was the
1:10:52
Speaker 1: first visitor in seven years, and perhaps to garner sympathy,
1:10:56
Speaker 1: Bevin first talks about his abusive father on the second
1:11:00
Speaker 1: abuse he faced at the hands of his father's friend. Now,
1:11:02
Speaker 1: that's tragic and obviously and motion is never excusable. But
1:11:07
Speaker 1: at that point, Debbie only cared about these murder cases
1:11:10
Speaker 1: and abductions and said Bevin had committed. She asked about
1:11:13
Speaker 1: the wealthy businessman who has still remained unnamed, and how
1:11:17
Speaker 1: involved he was with the family. Now in this interview,
1:11:20
Speaker 1: Bevin von Ininam says he hasn't seen the businessman in
1:11:23
Speaker 1: many years and that he didn't know anything about the
1:11:25
Speaker 1: family because it didn't exist. According to Bevin von Einem,
1:11:31
Speaker 1: the family doesn't exist now. While Bevin von Einem had
1:11:35
Speaker 1: been in prison, he had allegedly confessed to a fellow
1:11:38
Speaker 1: inmate that he had been the one responsible for the
1:11:40
Speaker 1: missing Beaumont children. Bevin von Einem denies this accusation, though
1:11:44
Speaker 1: once again when Debbie presses him for an answer, their
1:11:47
Speaker 1: time was limited to speak to each other, and after
1:11:49
Speaker 1: this Debbie left. Bevin von Einem had been charming and
1:11:53
Speaker 1: kind on the first visit, yet the next day, when
1:11:55
Speaker 1: Debbie returned, he began to show his true colors. Debbie
1:11:59
Speaker 1: Marshall asked him blatantly about Richard Kelvin, and the man's
1:12:02
Speaker 1: demeanor suddenly changed. He was no longer charming or kind.
1:12:06
Speaker 1: He was now revealing a psychopath who was no stranger
1:12:09
Speaker 1: to murder. Bevin became unsettled and stated coldly to Debbie.
1:12:13
Speaker 1: Everyone painted him as this straight boy, but he wasn't.
1:12:16
Speaker 1: His father was in the media and they wanted to
1:12:18
Speaker 1: get the message out that he was straight. Bevin, for
1:12:20
Speaker 1: many years still denied killing Richard. From the time he
1:12:24
Speaker 1: had pleaded not guilty, he had maintained that innocence, Yet
1:12:27
Speaker 1: Debbie's next question all but proved his guilt. You see,
1:12:31
Speaker 1: Debbie asked if Richard was wearing the dog collar when
1:12:34
Speaker 1: Bevin saw him. He admitted yes, as he was. The
1:12:38
Speaker 1: detectives in adelaide could never get this admission out of him,
1:12:41
Speaker 1: and it meant that he had been stalking Richard for
1:12:43
Speaker 1: some time before he was kidnapped. Richard, you see, had
1:12:46
Speaker 1: removed the dog collar at the bus stop where he
1:12:48
Speaker 1: and his friend parted ways after playing football. Bevin initially
1:12:52
Speaker 1: stated that he had almost run over Richard as he
1:12:54
Speaker 1: was walking home, but Richard wouldn't have been wearing the
1:12:58
Speaker 1: dog caller if Bevin's story was true. The admission also
1:13:01
Speaker 1: meant that Bevin had put the caller back on the
1:13:04
Speaker 1: boy after seeing him wearing it. It reveals the truly
1:13:07
Speaker 1: sadistic nature of von Einem as he stalked young Richard
1:13:11
Speaker 1: and put the caller back around his neck, specifically for
1:13:15
Speaker 1: the torture and murder of the young boy. It shows
1:13:18
Speaker 1: that after all these years, as this man is in
1:13:20
Speaker 1: his seventies and his health is degrading, he's finally starting
1:13:24
Speaker 1: to slip and tell some truth about the story. Perhaps,
1:13:27
Speaker 1: as the years go on more will come out. In
1:13:30
Speaker 1: the search for truth, Bevin may reveal his secrets and
1:13:33
Speaker 1: perhaps reveal the names of those who helped him carry
1:13:36
Speaker 1: out these pedophile crimes, finally opening the door to reveal
1:13:40
Speaker 1: the horrific, deep dark world of Adelaide's family. I mean,
1:13:45
Speaker 1: this is a pedophile ring that reaches all the way
1:13:47
Speaker 1: up through the politicians of the day, through the celebrities
1:13:50
Speaker 1: of the day, the judges of the day who were
1:13:53
Speaker 1: deciding the fates of other criminals. This reaches two doctors
1:13:57
Speaker 1: who were treating I'm assuming chill in their clinics, who
1:14:01
Speaker 1: people trusted with their health, and only fuck God knows
1:14:05
Speaker 1: how far this stretches. I mean, these people sure aren't
1:14:08
Speaker 1: gonna squeal on the real high top players, the people
1:14:13
Speaker 1: who were really at the top of this organization. Von
1:14:16
Speaker 1: Einem is almost like a low cog in the machine,
1:14:19
Speaker 1: if you want to think of it like that. He's
1:14:21
Speaker 1: running these crimes, he's doing this, he's procuring these boys,
1:14:25
Speaker 1: he's still raising enjoying these ranks. But who is he
1:14:29
Speaker 1: really working for and who were the people that were
1:14:32
Speaker 1: stopping by this apartment or this house and raised boys
1:14:36
Speaker 1: or even appearing on camera in these child films and
1:14:39
Speaker 1: these snuff films. I mean, it's seconding shit seconding. But
1:14:44
Speaker 1: perhaps maybe soon in the future von Einem will admit
1:14:48
Speaker 1: to more of the crimes he carried out. The crimes
1:14:51
Speaker 1: that mister b stated Von Einem committed, or perhaps new
1:14:54
Speaker 1: information will come from other sources, such as Trevor's diary,
1:14:58
Speaker 1: which still hasn't been fully explored. Now that many of
1:15:01
Speaker 1: the suspects and implicated names have passed away, people such
1:15:04
Speaker 1: as Gino Garmbardella the pedophile, Sarah Novak the victim turned accomplished,
1:15:09
Speaker 1: and proved Firment the rapist, many of the opportunities for
1:15:13
Speaker 1: the truth have been lost. The best they can be
1:15:15
Speaker 1: helped for is that someone realizes the horrors of their actions,
1:15:20
Speaker 1: that depravity of the organization that they were involved with
1:15:23
Speaker 1: this pedophile ring, and the pain that their secrecy has caused.
1:15:26
Speaker 1: All they have to do is come forward and allow
1:15:29
Speaker 1: justice to take place. The city of Adelaide, now known
1:15:32
Speaker 1: as the City of Corpses, has indeed earned its name. Kidnappings, murders,
1:15:36
Speaker 1: and many crimes against children filled the police files there
1:15:40
Speaker 1: you see. Adelaide was said in its nineteen eighty two
1:15:42
Speaker 1: promotional video to have that feeling. That feeling was said
1:15:46
Speaker 1: to be gentle and kind, But according to the story
1:15:49
Speaker 1: of the Family Murders, that feeling is one of dread, utterer, terror, suspicion,
1:15:55
Speaker 1: and fear among the people of South Australia. Murderers and
1:15:58
Speaker 1: pedophiles walk freely, protected by their own status. People still
1:16:03
Speaker 1: look over their shoulders, protecting their children and loved ones
1:16:06
Speaker 1: from being the next body found. The family should be
1:16:09
Speaker 1: a word dedicated to a group of people who share
1:16:12
Speaker 1: kindness and love amongst each other. It should be a
1:16:15
Speaker 1: comforting name, a title given to those who are nurturing
1:16:18
Speaker 1: and compassionate. But in Adelaide, South Australia, the words mean anything.
1:16:22
Speaker 1: But you see in South Australia, the family is dedicated
1:16:26
Speaker 1: to death, horror, conspiracy and injustice. Holy y'ah, that was
1:16:32
Speaker 1: a long one. Oh my god. I hope you guys
1:16:35
Speaker 1: enjoyed that really deep dive. Thank you to Saberin for
1:16:38
Speaker 1: writing that script. And just think about the implications. This
1:16:42
Speaker 1: isn't a true crime podcast meant to just tell these stories.
1:16:45
Speaker 1: This needs to wake people up. Think about those implications.
1:16:49
Speaker 1: There are a group of people in the god government,
1:16:52
Speaker 1: people in the highest rankings of Australia, politicians, lawyers, everyday people, doctors,
1:16:59
Speaker 1: prominent people. And those are just the people we know
1:17:01
Speaker 1: about from one guy who leaved. Who knows how far
1:17:05
Speaker 1: out that stretched and those people were never tried, charged,
1:17:09
Speaker 1: convicted of a single child, when not only were these
1:17:12
Speaker 1: five boys and murdered, mutilated and tortured and held hostage
1:17:17
Speaker 1: for days too, when these groups of men would come
1:17:20
Speaker 1: through to where they were being held and ripped them,
1:17:22
Speaker 1: but these pedophiles were being murdering kids all over the country.
1:17:25
Speaker 1: Could be as many as one hundred and fifty victims,
1:17:28
Speaker 1: and that's a lot of pedophiles. And they were probably
1:17:30
Speaker 1: filming all of this, sharing all of this sh it,
1:17:32
Speaker 1: could have been selling this ship and who knows where
1:17:35
Speaker 1: the sho ended up. It could be going to America,
1:17:38
Speaker 1: it'd be going to Asia, it could be going to
1:17:40
Speaker 1: South America to pedophile groups all over and only one
1:17:44
Speaker 1: guy is brought down for this, none of even the
1:17:47
Speaker 1: other accomplices, just one guy, and even that one thing
1:17:51
Speaker 1: sick bastard won't even admit that the family is real.
1:17:55
Speaker 1: It's a lot of food for thought, but please share
1:17:58
Speaker 1: this video out helped me to raise some awareeness about
1:18:00
Speaker 1: these despicable crimes. Hopefully so much awareness can eventually be
1:18:04
Speaker 1: raised through this show and constantly talking about this stuff
1:18:07
Speaker 1: that some more investigations can be opened and the public
1:18:10
Speaker 1: can pressure the people making the laws or performing the
1:18:13
Speaker 1: investigations in Australia to reopen the But anyways, guys, make
1:18:17
Speaker 1: sure to leave me a like comment your thoughts on
1:18:20
Speaker 1: this case in the comment section. If you're watching on YouTube,
1:18:23
Speaker 1: be sure to leave me a five star review on
1:18:25
Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Thank you all for listening to
1:18:28
Speaker 1: this very long episode. We will be back next week
1:18:32
Speaker 1: next Wednesday with another episode of The Conspiracy Files. Keep
1:18:35
Speaker 1: that tin hat on, Thank you for listening, and I'll
1:18:38
Speaker 1: catch all on the next one.
