  3. Ivan Robert Marko Milat (born December 27, 1944 in Guildford, New South Wales) is an Australian serial killer, convicted of the murder of seven local and international hitchhikers during the 1980s and 1990s. His crimes became known in Australia as the Backpacker murders. Milat is currently serving seven life sentences in Goulburn Supermax Correctional Prison in New South Wales. To this day, he still proclaims his innocence to all of the charges against him.

    Ivan Milat's father was born in Croatia and his mother was Australian of English origins

    Milat's sister-in-law, Lisa Milat, ran for the Australian Senate in the 2007 Australian federal election.

    In September 1992 two orienteers came across the bodies of British tourists Joanne Walters and Caroline Clarke while running in the Belanglo State Forest, south-west of Sydney.

    In October 1993, the bodies of James Gibson and Deborah Everist, both 19, were discovered in the same vicinity. They had disappeared in 1989 while hitchhiking. With the discovery of the second set of bodies it became apparent that a serial killer was responsible for the four murders.

    On November 1 the same year, a fifth body was found, identified through dental records as Simone Schmidl, a 20-year-old German woman who had vanished in January, 1991.

    More than 300 police officers conducted a search of the area on November 4, and found two more skeletons, identified as the remains of 21-year-old Gabor Kurt Neugebauer and his 20-year-old girlfriend, Anja Susanne Habschied, both German tourists who had vanished two years previously. Neugebauer had been shot repeatedly. Habschied had been decapitated.

    Forensic examinations of evidence gathered at the scene revealed cartridges from a .22 Ruger rifle near Clarke's body[citation needed]. These were tested against cartridges that had been taken from a farmhouse outside Sydney. A possible eighth victim was provisionally added to the list in November. An examination of unsolved murders turned up the name of Diane Pennacchio, a 29-year-old mother whose body had been found in bushland in 1991. She had been stabbed to death and the body had been placed face down with hands placed behind her back near a fallen tree, as had those of the previous victims. A triangular canopy of sticks had been built over the bodies and covered with ferns.

    In February 1994 there was a breakthrough in the investigation. A 20-year-old woman told police that while hitchiking in January 1990 in New South Wales she was offered a lift, which she had accepted. While in the vehicle the driver had behaved strangely, and she got out of the vehicle and ran into the Belangalo State Forest. As she ran, the driver fired shots at her, but missed.[citation needed]

    Further information came from a second witness, British tourist Paul Onions, who told police that on 25 January 1990 he accepted a lift from a driver in the same area. The driver told him that he needed to stop the vehicle to get music cassette tapes out the rear of the car. However Onions was suspicious as there were already tapes inside the vehicle. When the driver produced a gun from the glove compartment, Paul Onions ran away, and the driver fired shots at him. A passing driver rescued Paul Onions from the scene. Much later, after police attention was once again drawn to the case following a public appeal, Onions was able to identify the driver from police photographs and identify the vehicle.
