Families Detail Grief, Police Shortcomings in Ivan Milat Case

The initial session of a New South Wales investigation into missing persons has heard emotional testimony from relatives of individuals who disappeared decades ago. Among those speaking were the family of a young woman who vanished in the 1970s, a period when serial killer Ivan Milat was active in the same region. Their accounts highlighted the profound personal loss and raised concerns about the effectiveness of police investigations during that era.

This inquiry is crucial for understanding past failures in missing persons cases and potentially improving future responses for grieving families.
