The most notorious Australian serial child rapist and murderer snuck into homes and attacked 4 girls across the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, in the late 1980s and early 1990s. His crimes escalated in 1991 after the abduction and murder of a fourth girl, Karmein (KAR-meen) Chan, who lived in a "suburban fortress." Despite the high-profile investigations, all of the attacks remain unsolved cold cases to this day, and no theory has ever definitively answered the question: who is Melbourne's Boogeyman, Mr. Cruel?
