Between the years 1989 and 1992 Ivan Milat, Australia’s most notorious serial killer, claimed the innocent lives of seven young backpackers . Of his victims were three German backpackers, two British backpackers and two Australian Travellers. Milat, a local roads worker at the time, brutally murdered and buried the bodies of his victims in the Belanglo state Forrest after offering them a lift out of Sydney. He was consistent in the way he abducted and buried his victims however when it came to the killing of the young backpackers Milat employed a variety of methods including: Beating, stabbing, shooting, strangulation, decapitation and the sexual assault of both male and females. Although Milat used various methods of killing he had

November 26, 2000 sixteen year old Leanne Tiernan mysteriously disappeared after a shopping trip with a friend. Her sudden disappearance led to a nine month long search in hopes of finding her still alive. During August of 2001, the body of Leanne Tiernan was found in Lindley Woods about ten miles away from her home in West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. A man walking his dog in the park, discovered the body in a shallow grave. A plastic bag was wrapped around Leanne’s head, was held in place with a dog collar while a scarf and cable tie were wrapped around her neck as well as bonding her wrists together. The body was then wrapped in plastic liners and secured with twine (“Forensic Cases: The Murder,” 2015). The key evidence collected from the scene was the dog collar, the scarf, and twine.

Derek Bromley supposedly drowned Stephen Docoza in the River Torrens, Adelaide. It was in 2008 when he had completed his jail sentence and was eligible for parole, however, he still remains in prison. For Derek Bromley to be out of prison he would have to admit to the crime but still pleads that he is innocent. He was wrongly convicted (InDaily | Adelaide News, 2015; Netk.net.au, 2015). Dr Manock's forensic evidence that he presented during the trial in 1984 was completely unreliable and is currently being questioned (Netk.net.au, 2015).

After a thorough search of the Belanglo State Forest by authorities that resulted from the discovery of the bodies of Caroline Clarke and Joanne Walters, no other bodies were found. The police believed it was an isolated case and continued to search for information on the murderer of these two girls. The intense media coverage had left locals worried about what else could be found in the vast state forest which led local man Bruce Pryor to find another body. On the 5th October 1993 over a year after the discovery of the first two bodies, Bruce Pryor discovered a thigh bone and a skull which he brought to police who returned to the area and found yet another body. Three days later the police confirmed that one of the victims was Victorian backpacker

Between the years 1989 and 1992 Ivan Millat, a local roadsworker abducted,brutally murdered and buried 7 young backpackers in the Belanglo Stare Forest Southern New South Wales. Caroline Clarke, Joanne Walters, Simon Schmidl, Anja Habschied, Gabor Neugebauer, James Gibson and Deborah Everist all mysteriously disappeared after they were seen travelling south from Sydney. British backpackers Caroline Clarke and Joanne Walters were the first of Milat’s victims discovered in the Belanglo forest on the 19th and 20th of September 1992 after runners discovered the decaying bodies half buried under sticks and leaves. Clarke had been stabbed repeatedly and received 10 shots to the head while Walters had been stabbed 35 times and is believed to have been paralysed for some time during her attack. Both

Gunmans in Mass shootings such as Stephen Paddock was the shooter on October 1, 2017 When he opened fire during a show he had killed 59 people and injured 527 people. In the hours after the retired accountant committed the shooting, authorities rolled out frightening new details, including the discovery of scopes on rifles at the resort and explosives at his home.A team of six officers spoke with security at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, where Paddock was staying, and searched the hotel floor-by-floor Sunday night before they found Paddock's room, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters.

In America, average citizens are subjected to mass shootings that are becoming more frequent and deadlier. A major underlying cause of these fatal mass shootings is the corruption in America’s mental health system. The government has provided stricter gun reforms and “stricter” gun control laws as a possible solution to this problem. Despite the government's efforts to eradicate this problem, mass shootings are still a major threat to society because guns are easily accessible to people who will use them in the wrong way. The government needs to take action such as making more gun laws focusing on mental health, more health educational campaigns, making more resources available that focus on coping skills for anger and conflict resolution

Born on November 9th, 1970, Lisa Vanderbeck grew up in a very close knit neighborhood, always doing things with her neighbors, whether they were thirty years older than her, or ten years younger. One person who she was extremely close to was a friend of her moms, Mrs. Louis, who lived five doors down from her. Lisa, her mom, and twin sister would go over to her house at least once a week for “Avon Lady Day”. They would drink coffee, and hang out with the other neighbors who attended.

I completely support those who stand up for our constitutional right to bear arms, but in light of the recent shootings, is it time for state and federal health officials to declare a national public health emergency? Is it really ok that we be allowed to purchase an excessive amount of firearms, does that not raise any eyebrows? This is a national epidemic. I want to ask Congress to place limits on firearm purchases, ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines, and provide funds for gun violence research. Americans deserve to be able to walk, celebrate and gather in large groups without the fear of random and mass shootings.

The subject of student rights has caused a lot of confusion and anger for decades now. There are two different sides that everyone seems to fall into. Some people want the constitutional rights of students to be fully protected within the school. The other side believes that, as a public institution, schools should regulate what is said or done by students to protect everyone involved. This is where it gets confusing, because it is hard to draw the line between what is allowed or not. The three most interesting topics that I chose to cover are a student’s right to free speech, religion within the school and student privacy.

Shoplifting is a large concern of any retail store, including Rite Aid pharmacy. Employees are trained through continuing education what to look for when customers are possibly shoplifting. Customers with backpacks are not allowed to wander around the store. Backpack may be held behind the front register for customers. Security measures such as vault boxes are used on high risk items, and high priced items are kept at the front of the store behind the front registers. Employees are made aware monthly of the most shoplifted items that month in every district of Rite Aid Pharmacies. Employees can then monitor those specific items for possible shoplifting. Security announcements may be made over the store intercom to alert employees of possible shoplifting activities and to scan all aisles.

Mr. White (White) is claiming false imprisonment by store security. On September 18, 2017, at 1:45 pm, White approached the checkout lane looking nervously from side to side when Ron Johnston (Johnston), Chief of Security, first noticed him. White was pushing a full cart with an Xbox One S on top extremely fast past the cash register toward the entrance as well as the restrooms according to the floor plan. Johnson worried that he was shoplifting yelled for him to stop, but White instead continued even faster. Johnston ran and intercepted him near the entrance to the restroom and told White he was being detained for shoplifting. White said “I haven’t done anything wrong! I just need to go!” Johnston asked him if he had a receipt for the items in the cart.

The Purchase of Mass, spree or serial killer paraphernalia should not be a crime, however, a person that has interest in paraphernalia should be looked down upon for having enthusiasms for such market. I don’t believe it should be a crime unless the seller stole the material and is selling the item on the black market. We live in a capitalistic country and the freedom we get in this country is what makes this country so great. Some people with mental problems may get the motivation to go kill because of the purchase of mass, spree or serial killer paraphernalia, but those are very few in number. We shouldn’t lose our right to a free economic system where we can buy and sell items unless they are not illegal or narcotics.

After one week of searching all around Darwin, the investigators suspected the man took children off Darwin soil, so they extended their search to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra. The investigators soon tracked down the Man and children by searching each and every plane that travelled to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra. They found the man’s Hogs Breathe card with his details printed on it and took some fingerprint tests. They then were able to locate the man, whose name was identified to be Patrick Gecko, aged 46, who had as suspected kidnapped Josh and Caitlin
