In the 1990s the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda was a dangerous place.
A number of sex workers were murdered and discarded after being taken from the streets where they worked. One of these women was Amanda Byrnes who was brutally murdered in 1991.
With exclusive access to Police files, detectives and Amanda’s family, Million Dollar Murders follows new lines of inquiry that may help identify Amanda’s killer or killers and Victoria Police make a crucial announcement in the program for the public to help close the case.
These are some of the toughest cases for detectives to solve. Million Dollar Murders will highlight the tireless effort of police in their investigations of these unsolved cases.
When there are few leads left to investigate in a case, Police turn to the public for help, offering a one million dollar reward for any new information that leads to a conviction.
Recently retired Detective Superintendent, Deborah Wallace, has been given extensive access to the case files, so MDM can take viewers inside the ongoing investigation of the most chilling murder mysteries in the country.
To help solve these crimes, Wallace interviews the detectives involved in these investigations, witnesses, and family members, hoping to spark a long-forgotten memory or a change of heart that will bring justice for the victims and their families.
All cases can be solved. They’re never cold and police never give up.
He looks like Bradley John Edwards!
