Murder Calls

Herman Rockefeller was a multi-millionaire and an upstanding citizen, so when he disappeared after a business trip, his family and the police were puzzled, until a series of phone calls uncovered a seedy double life that had turned deadly.

When Kelly Hodge's body was found discarded on the side of the road, it would lead to one of Victoria Police's most frustrating cases. Countless suspects were dismissed, but just when it seemed like the real killer would get away, one phone call would change everything.

As a young man, he knew right from wrong, yet as a child his grandmother taught him to cut the ears off little kittens. When he became an adult, he would find that killing a person was no different. There was no emotion or empathy involved.

A man whose hatred for his victim had reached boiling point concocts a near-perfect plan of murderous revenge. He had meticulously researched and studiously planned every detail of the murder, but one phone call would be enough to unravel his plans and bring him to justice.

They say love can make people do crazy things, of which the worst is to kill. In far north Queensland, a man would write the book on twisted love. Unable to accept rejection, he nearly got away with murder until a phone call tripped him up.

In a case of money for murder, Peter Shellard was found by his girlfriend in their mansion in the Melbourne suburb of Caulfield North. He was battered and bound in what appeared to be a bondage session gone wrong, but a phone call to the police would point to someone who had a motive for murder.
