In 1969 Derek Percy was arrested for the brutal killing of 12 year old Yvonne Tuohy.
While he was held responsible for that crime, a string of unsolved heinous child murders in the 60s bear chilling resemblance to that violent crime that put him behind bars.
But Derek Percy never confessed to, nor was he convicted of the crimes he’s strongly suspected of having committed. He died in custody in 2013 as Victoria's longest serving prisoner, taking to the grave all his secrets. Depriving families of the closure they’d spent decades longing for.
Alan Whiticker, our guest today, spent 4 years researching Percy trying to fill in the blanks that Derek never would.
