Breakthrough in 34yo murder cold case provides new leads for retired investigator's first case
23rd April,2014
As Australia's most experienced murder investigator, it is fair to say Ron Iddles does not give up easily.
Despite leaving Victoria's homicide squad early this month, Mr Iddles is still working behind the scenes to solve the first murder he was ever assigned to - 34 years ago.
In 1980, when he was a 24-year-old detective senior constable, Mr Iddles was sent to a bookshop in the Melbourne suburb of Thornbury.
The bookshop's owner, mother of two Maria James, had been killed while her two sons, 13-year-old Mark and 11-year-old Adam, were at school.
