Victims speak out to Wanted

Tonight TEN airs the season final for Wanted at the special time of Thursday, September 26 at 8.30pm.

In this episode four victims of a serial rapist in the mid 1980s will speak for the first time in the hope that their tormentor will be caught. Now in their 40s, one of the four women will also reveal her face.

The brave women were aged between 13 and 16 when they were sexually assaulted in the mid-1980s in public places around Melbourne and Ballarat.

Speaking exclusively to Wanted host Sandra Sully, the victims are determined to find answers and are sharing their stories with each other for the first time.

One of the victims reveals her face while sharing the unimaginable horror that changed her life forever in the hope that the attacker does not get away with these vicious assaults.

Now in their 40s, the women conceal their real names as they recount their chilling, brutal attacks – three of which were at knife point.

Wanted will reveal how the combination of modern DNA technology and a determined team of cold case experts means the police are closer to catching the serial rapist linked to the four attacks.

Wanted will also air an electronic image of what is believed to be the attacker’s car, a distinctive green station wagon, which has never been found.

Detective Senior Constable Adam Cox from the Sexual Crimes Squad told Wanted: “We want to hear from anyone who had a car like this. Maybe not this exact model but this colour and with a white roof. We’d be keen to hear from anybody who has information, even if that person has since passed away, even if it’s years ago, that they’ve moved interstate or overseas.”
