Crime by Frank Chung 24th Feb 2021 7:44 AM A notorious beauty queen killer who served 20 years behind bars is again on the run from police for an alleged parole breach - but it s his terrifying mugshot that has social media abuzz. In 1997, Jay William Short, 46, strangled and stabbed Alison Lewis, 19, burying her body in a long-jump sandpit on the edge of an athletics oval in the town of Lithgow in the NSW Central Tablelands. Ms Lewis was ambushed by the killer after leaving a nightclub to join her friends for an early-morning swim at the local council pool. The brutal murder shocked the sleepy country town and generated national headlines.
