A man digging up his backyard in Geelong to find a sewer pipe last year was horrified to uncover a camping swag - and it wasn’t empty.
Dr Ward said this multidisciplinary approach was needed to pull all the information together and solve the mysteries.
Just before 5pm on August 27, 1979, a family was walking through bushland east of Perth when they found the badly decomposed body of a man. On July 12, 1995, a cleaner found the remains of a newborn baby boy with paper towel stuffed in his mouth in a basin in the toilets at Kambalda caravan park, 600km east of Perth.
Soon after, police extradited a 55-year-old man from Queensland and charged him with sexually abusing the woman over several years. Two jockeys found the dead man dressed in a suit, shirt, tie and shoes resting on a sea wall on Somerton Beach at 6.30am on December 1, 1948. The man had an enlarged spleen, congestion of the liver and might have been poisoned, although no poison was found in his system, so the cause of death was inconclusive.
