Who wrote this crap? It needs to be cleaned up and written properly. Adiemus 17:10, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Why don't you help and do it yourself?
it might be of note that, the caliber of gun can be determined by the spent cases but not the manufacturer of the gun, that can only be done by ballistics tests matching bullet to bore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.244.235.236 ( talk) 01:26, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
There are other crime stories on Wikipedia that link to extended CrimeLibrary.com reportage; is there any particular reason why this story does not have a link to their Milat/Backpacker Murders feature, or is this just an oversight? Hi There 02:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
The article states:
Milat's three German victims, Gabor Kurt Neugebauer, Anja Susanne Habschied and Simone Schmidl, appeared in Soul Asylum's film clip for the song "Runaway Train". The song was about the large number of missing people around the world. It was not known at the time that three were all victims of the same serial killer.
I saw the music-video today, there were three sequences with four missing people each, all showed with names... but the three german victims are not included, therefore (and because the statement is unsourced) I think it should be removed. Weapon X (de) 21:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Removed the statement. Weapon X (de) 13:55, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I think this article need more facts and ingoing discriptions of the murders and about ivan milat. /matrix17
I started a rewrite on this but soon realised it is a hopeless cause. The "backpacker murders" entry is much better - far less over-excited and tacky-tabloid. I suggest killing "Ivan Milat" and starting again.
As Socrates2008 mentioned above, this article should be merged with Backpacker Murders. I can't think of a reason why there should be two articles on essentially the same topic. This article has a good amount of information; however, it is poorly written and not properly referenced. My vote is to merger Backpacker Murders into this article, as Milat is the only person suspected of and convicted for the murders. Most serial killer articles I have read on here refer to the nicknames of the cases but don't have separate articles about them. In cases such as the Snowtown murders, there were 4+ people involved, so it makes sense to have articles about the case and each of the main perpetrators. -- *momoricks* ( talk) 11:37, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
I'll tackle merging the Ivan Milat article into the Backpacker Murders article this weekend, unless someone beats me to it...heh. mo talk 10:01, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
