CLAREMONT: The Scream That Suddenly Stopped
Show notes
The night Jane Rimmer disappeared, on June 9, 1996, two couples - separately - heard blood-curdling, ’traumatic’ screams.
One witness recalled hearing a scream that just suddenly stopped. Then silence.
The two couples lived in the then-rural area on the outskirts of Perth called Wellard.
Fifty-five days later Jane’s body would be found in bushland in between their houses.
As The West’s Emily Moulton - who has been live blogging the court proceedings - explains, one couple remembered a smell coming from just off the road as they regularly drove past. They said they dismissed it as a dead animal.
Day 14 of the Claremont Serial Killings trial also recounted Ciara Glennon’s final night.
She was the last woman to go missing. She had only been home for two weeks from 6 months abroad when she disappeared.
Her parents were on high alert at this stage in March 1997, with two girls missing and one their bodies having been found, as soon as they reported their daughter missing, police swooped.
Join Natalie Bonjolo, Emily Moulton and Tim Clarke as they discuss day 14.
