Backpacker Killer Series
🎧 Belanglo: Rituals of the Lost – Episode Two: The Milat Method
He didn’t live in the forest. He lived in the suburbs.
He mowed lawns. Drove trucks. Worked for the Roads & Traffic Authority.
But Ivan Milat had a method. And it began long before Belanglo.
In this episode, we trace the origins of Australia’s most notorious serial killer—from a childhood steeped in violence to a criminal history riddled with missed warnings. Through survivor testimony, family betrayal, and forensic patterns, we uncover how Milat rehearsed his ritual of control, silence, and placement.
🔍 Chapters Include:
• Early life and family dynamics
• The 1971 abduction of Margaret Patterson
• Behavioral patterns and weaponry
• The role of Boris Milat—the brother who broke the silence
• Paul Onions and the breakthrough that cracked the case
• Trial, conviction, and the letters that revealed the man behind the method
Milat didn’t live in the forest. He lived in plain sight.
Next time, we trace the others:
James Gibson. Deborah Everist. Simone Schmidl.
