Ebony Simpson

On 19 August 1992, Ebony got off her school bus and walked past a parked Mazda 808 vehicle owned by her killer. He abducted her, put her in the boot, and drove to a remote location near Wirrimbirra Sanctuary. He sexually assaulted her repeatedly, bound her, weighted her schoolbag and threw her into a dam where she drowned. A team of over 200 volunteers and 100 police searched for Ebony, including her killer. He confessed to the crime after police detained him; during the confession and court sessions, he showed no remorse for his actions. He pleaded guilty to the murder of Ebony Simpson and was sentenced in 1993 to life imprisonment; Justice Peter Newman refused to fix a non-parole period and ordered that his papers were to be marked "never to be released".
