If you're thinking about going backpacking for spring break do so with caution after you hear this case. You may have even seen the movie Wolf Creek which is loosely based off the murders of backpackers by Ivan Milat. In the early 1990s, Australia was rocked by the gruesome killings of seven foreign backpackers in Belanglo State Forest. The tragedy came to be known as the “backpacker murders” and remains one of the worst string of homicides to take place in the country, and the man behind them, Ivan Milat, maintains his innocence even after decades behind bars. But the mystery still shrouds the case of the backpacker murders, could one man pull off the killings on his own? Or did he have an accomplice?
