Description
On an overcast, windswept day in January 1965, two teenage girls were raped and murdered on an isolated beach in Sydney's southern suburbs. The discovery of their bodies the following day sparked a public outcry, media frenzy and one of the largest police investigations in Australian history. To this date the deaths of Christine Sharrock and Marianne Schmidt -notoriously known as the Wanda Beach Murders - remain unsolved, and the story behind the crime has never before been told. In 'Wanda: The Untold Story of the Wanda Beach Murder's, Alan Whiticker re-creates the lead-up to and aftermath of the murders and provides a fascinating insight into the history, lives and fate of Christine and Marianne.
