Have recently been listening to the podcast from the ABC about the murder of Maria James in Melbourne in the early 80's, stabbed 68 times in her own home.
Catholic church seems to be involved in this case up to their eyeballs, pedaphilia likely the root cause and dna samples mixed up at the time. Intriguing to say the least.
It has been a fascinating listen, and hopefully some new dna will lead to something more concrete about the killer, potentially a catholic priest, or even two were involved.
Was there much hype about this murder at the time?
I have never heard of it, but not being from Melbourne maybe it didn't get much interstate coverage.
