Detectives believe Claremont killer Bradley Edwards visited Ciara Glennon s grave three years after her death and left behind an item of her underwear, sparking a covert police operation, according to a new book released on Wednesday.
The garment was found by one of Ms Glennon’s family members visiting the Karrakatta Cemetery site in late November 2000, 3½ years after the 27-year-old became the third woman to be snatched off the streets of Claremont and murdered.
STALKING CLAREMONT EXTRACT: On a hot summer s Saturday night in February 1995, Lisa (not her real name) an athletic seventeen-year-old, borrowed her older sister s driver s licence for a night out that was to end, as usual, at a nightclub in the suburb of Claremont, close to where she lived. The village looked and felt safe, unlike the central-city nightclub strip of Northbridge, which had a reputation for alcohol- and drug-fuelled violence. This protective ambience, tragically, provided a false sense of security. Because, in the early morning hours, Claremont s dark underbelly was exposed. More than twenty reports had been made to police in the late 1980s and early 1990s of young women in the vicinity of Claremont at night being followed and pounced on or groped indecently, and attempts made to rape them or drag them into cars.
