The next episode of Crime Investigation Australia explores the murders of two teenage girls near the NSW town of Bega in 1997.
14-year-old Lauren Barry and 16-year-old Nichole Collins disappeared while walking towards home along the Snowy Mountains Highway. A huge manhunt by police and the girls’ families and friends failed to find any trace of them.
The girls had been abducted by Leslie Camilleri and Lindsay Beckett who had a combined record of more than 200 convictions.
The girls were driven several hundred kilometres across the border into Victoria during which they were repeatedly assaulted and raped, then tied-up and gagged before being murdered.
This episode of CIA features detailed re-enactments and interviews with key figures, including the main investigating police from New South Wales and Victoria, and an exclusive interview with Nathan Barry, the brother of one of the murdered girls.
Hosted again by Steve Liebmann this airs Thursday, May 28, at 7:30pm AEST on the Crime & Investigation Channel.
