Between the beaches of Bondi and Tamarama in Sydney’s picturesque Eastern suburbs, lies a steep cliff face. Parks and a walking track sit above, attracting tourists from all over the world. But below is rock and the white, foamy Pacific Ocean, the water appearing black at night time. In the 1980s, there was no railing separating the track from the steep cliff. And at night, sometimes screams were heard by locals. Bloodstains were found along the walkway. And in the very worst-case scenarios, men disappeared… or their lifeless bodies were found below - lives cut tragically short.
Some locals nicknamed the area Bondi Badlands - a spot that turned into what’s been referred to as a killer’s playground.
So what was happening to these innocent men? And why did it take such a long time for police to give these crimes the time and energy they always deserved?
