Nearly two years have passed since Perth's
serial killer abducted his first victim. So,
are police close to an arrest? MARK RUSSELL
reports.
***************************
IT sounded like the breakthrough police had been waiting for in the
hunt for Perth's serial killer.
A wallet belonging to secretary Sarah Spiers had been found,
supposedly, under the seat of a
battered old second-hand white van.
The rumor was that a young couple had paid a few thousand dollars for
the van and had been cleaning it when they saw the wallet.
The Macro taskforce, investigating Ms Spiers' disappearance and the
murders of two other young women, was alerted and the van was taken by
police for forensic tests. It was a tantalising piece of gossip that
swept the city, but police were quick to dismiss it as yet another
urban myth surrounding the case.
