Nicole Zuritta 's friend was murdered in one of Australia's most notorious serial killings, turning her world upside down. Almost three decades on, she wants to reframe the way victims of the Snowtown murders are remembered.
Her cousin's fiancé, Robert Wagner and his friend John Bunting – who were later found guilty of Michael's murder – would turn up at her house with so-called information. The disbelief of his involvement in the murders soon turned to shock when she realised how close she had been to Wagner and his co-accused, John Bunting and Jamie Vlassakis."Who the hell do you think you are that you can come into my home, where my children live? I thought you were a decent human being," she says."It was like being in The Matrix. It was very slow motion, it was very painful and it was very confusing.
"I think if these people were a bit more 'worthy' to society, then I think there would have been a bit of a harder push to get a quicker result than what there was," she says.For Ronald Lane, the memories of the time remain etched in his mind.His uncle Barry Lane, who also went by the name Vanessa, was killed in October 1997.
