STALKING CLAREMONT the book by Bret Christian is out. We can have the discussion in here.

* May contain spoilers


Our spies have told us Bret Christian has been in court nearly every day since the trial started and is writing a book on the Claremont murders. As one of our favourite crime writers he might be able to help us out.

Post your questions in here.


Wider discussion, until these questions are resolved may be moved into the Bunker.

F means: following.

Anyway I understand during the earlier parts of the trial BRE remained basically unfazed in personality.

Given the prosecution case was quite graphic to begin with how is he reacting now.

Has he loosened up?

Were the weather records for Gosnells submitted by the defense an attempt to throw doubt on the testimony of the Cooks, particularly Mrs Cook's testimony on it being a "hot day" when he told them he was trying to reconcile with his ex wife? in order to throw doubt on her recollection of his alibi and weaken the link to the CG murder?

What really happened on the morning he went to work with his college and wife? How did he get to his colleges house? Why did he go in their car instead of his own work vehicle? Although the wife mentioned the event in her diary, the whole scenario does not make sense as he was starting his shift an hour later than his college, what did he do while waiting around for an hour? I don't understand why more questions were not asked. This is just one of many situations which were brought up in court but for some strange reason not followed through!

Did he bloke who knew him in his teenage years (whose father and uncle drove speedway cars at Claremont Speedway) and years later coached the little athletics at Belmont get called up?
I'm interested to know if this witness said anything about whether he saw the accused at Claremont Speedway in the hours before the alleged abductions or not.

Did prosecutor Carmel Barbagallo really have a mild cold today?

The Claremont serial killings trial was set to resume 24 years to the day since Jane Rimmer vanished, but has instead been pushed back. WAtoday understands prosecutor Carmel Barbagallo is unwell with a mild cold.

I want to know if HH victim ever put forth BRE's name to WAPOL or Macro Task Force as a "likely" suspect for the Claremont Serial Killings.
I want to know if ANY police put forth BRE's name at any time as a suspect.
I want to know if ANY of BRE's family put forth his name or, flagged any queer conduct.

I want to know how far back WAPOL looked on the list of perps required by court to attend the Sex Offenders Course (BRE was ordered to attend after the 1990 HH guilty plea)
I want to know why BRE was only charged with Common Assault in 1990 but, was required to go on the Sex Offenders Course !

I want to know why wife2 left BRE. I want to know more about BRE's continuous lies to wife2, and why they had no children together.
I want to know why wife2 was hand-copying his Bank Statement & ATM cash withdrawals in 1996 (before they had started their relationship)
I want to know if BRE took sleeping medication
I want to know if wife2 did indeed say "what has he done now" ..... when she heard of BRE's arrest. I want to know if wife2 - at the end of their relationship - thought BRE was capable of murder and why she was scared "stiffless"
Also, if BRE had hidden Bank accounts from wife2 eg) "controlling the purse strings in Acton St" or, had threatened wife2 in any DV incident

I want to know what sort of movies BRE watched with his SD (everybody loves a SK clown ?) was BRE addicted to Horror Movies ?

I particularly want to know why the Cold Case Team opened the old 1988 Huntingdale archive box with the Kimono in it - was it a "lucky" DNA find - or, was it because BRE's name was on a list as a suspect in the Huntingdale Prowler episode that led to the box being reviewed...... - or, had they received a "tip off" from either a family member or, a member of the public.

I want to know BRE's IQ too and any juvie convictions.
I want to see BRE's psych reports

Hey Bret are you able to confirm for us that this guy here who came to the attention of investigators was definitively NOT Edwards?

The IT specialist.

Described as a chameleon, spotless car and fastidious personal presentation but who lived in a house of abject squalor. Engaged in group sex and fetishes. Came to police attention after being disturbed trying to lure a girl into his car on Stirling Highway around 2.00am. This must have been in 2007?

Hi Bret,

We have reason to believe BRE may have been in the Warnbro area around the time Marsha Johnson was murdered in her home. Information on this is so scant, any chance you might know a bit more about this?

Hey Bret,

Re CG.
Why was only 1 of 4 exhibits taken from CG hair examined thoroughly?

Why was her shirt sent to the FBI to be examined in 1999 if all they did was place "scrapings" from it into 2 petri dishes that were sent back to Perth to be tested? What part of that process did the Chem Centre in Perth believe would be better off done in USA? Could they not scrape clothing to remove fibres in WA in 1997?

Critically, why did it then take another decade at least, until 2012, before the 11 blue poly fibres these 2 dishes contained were found?

Re: JR.
What examination was done on her hair mass between the time it was taken in 1996 to the earliest time the fibres were reported as being found within it in 2009. Was her hair examined at any time in between?

We've heard that other exhibits containing fibres went missing for several years, where were these fibres scourced and what was done to locate them in the meantime? Was anyone ever actively looking for them or was the big surprise actually realising these exhibits existed many years later? A bonus they were unaware of so to speak. What was the reason for them having gone missing to begin with?

How many samples of LW clothing was unsuccessfully tested for fibre matches to those located on the victims?

Is the fact nothing could be tied to him the reason all these sources of fibres were "parked" for so long?

Why were so many critical fibres located that linked the accused to the victims not found at any time before 2018-2019 & well after he was in custody?

What do you know of the claims made by Kimdelia Cole, first aired on Ch7 Sunday Night program on 10th November 2019 when we learnt of her conversation with Jane on the night she disappeared, then expanded upon after the verdict to include the claim she was meeting Bogsy that night? Is Channel 7 the only media outlet who knew of this & was it only in late 2019 & after arrest that this information first came to light?

Hey Bret:

Why did police link the Victoria Clarke murder to the Huntingdale attack with the kimono? What specifically was their reasoning for this?

Did they interview Edwards? If not, why not, if they were telling people they were confident he was the Huntingdale prowler but didn’t have enough to arrest him?

Lots of love, Ms Finch
