I am the now-retired taxi driver police suspected of involvement in the Claremont serial killings. Though the police promised me they would release to me the Swan Taxi computer records that prove my innocence, they still refuse to do so.
My story, which will be familiar to long-term POST readers, is that I picked up as a fare Sarah Spiers, one of the victims, the night before she went missing in 1996. I voluntarily reported this to police a month after she disappeared. They first asked if I had a criminal record and when I answered yes, they lost all interest. I know it was Sarah in my cab because she came out of Club Bay View while I was outside my cab. She said she had called another taxi from inside the club but had changed her mind about going to Mosman Park and wanted to go home to South Perth.
