You’re never going to forget driving a traumatised woman to the CBD” The 38-year-old cold case rape and the police fighting for justice
It’s one of the oldest and most disturbing unsolved cases on the books of the sexual crime squad’s cold case unit.
Police will today appeal for fresh information about the horrific attack, as the cold case unit re-examines the circumstances around the case. Suddenly, the man stopped the car on a deserted dirt road. The teen was blindfolded and gagged, and driven further away. “This is something that would stand out in someone’s memory. There’s a good chance that they’ll remember this. And it might just be that final piece of the puzzle that will help us solve this matter.”
The case is one of about 40 currently being looked at by the cold case unit within the sexual crimes squad of Victoria Police. Just this week, a 58-year-old man was arrested in Mill Park, in Melbourne’s north, and charged with the rape and kidnap of two teenage girls in St Kilda in 1987.
