Bradley Murdoch
Bradley Murdoch is a convicted murderer who gained notoriety for the 2001 killing of British backpacker Peter Falconio in Australia. Murdoch was sentenced to 28 years in prison for the murder and the attempted kidnapping and assault of Falconio's girlfriend, Joanne Lees. Despite his conviction, he has never disclosed the location of Falconio's remains, prompting police to renew their appeals for information in hopes of bringing closure to Falconio's family. Recent reports indicate that Murdoch, now 67, is suffering from terminal cancer and has been moved to palliative care, which has led to renewed media interest in the case.
