Throughout the whole time, the holidays every year, the cruelest he was ever to me, although I saw him cruel to anything, was when he was with that boy that night in 1962. They had the tend up and there was a campfire going and the car was parked

3:04a little bit further away, facing away. They were cooking some food and I spent some time at the campfire and then the other boy said to me, we've got a body in the car and I can't remember what was said. I must have shown some disbelief because I remember being over at the day up in the boot of the car and looked in and there was just a teen, a petrol walk, a teen or something. I don't know what I want. A few other things and then maybe I confronted my current remember that I didn't say it said something like you're a liar because he went around then to the back seat of the car, back door of the car on the left-hand side and opened the car door and said to look. I did look and there was a tarp or blanket, some sort and there was bumps

4:12underneath it but I couldn't see that was a body and so I think I said something like it, it's not and then Lee called to me from the other side of the car and he'd opened the back door and told me to come here and then he moved the blanket tarp back over the head of a boy laying in the back seat of the car and he had wet here, his eyes, I like to see his eyes but I could see his head and wet here and I remember I did look a little bit close and see your face because you're a pain. I don't remember anything else was said but what I do remember is that he

5:18said so you better go home little girl or I might shove something up your bumhole and bury you murder you and bury you like we do with him. And I'd look to Lee to see if there was any help but he just sort of had to find look on on his face like I never seen him look before. These events have remained unresolved since 1962. The Lee this woman refers to is now serving a life sentence for a murder committed in Tasmania in 1975, 13 years after the incident she described. I spent almost 20 years in the Victoria Pleas Force most of that in the major crime squad.

6:35I worked on the Costigan Royal Commission in the Hilton Hotel, Turkish consulate and Russell Strait Bomings. Soon after I moved back to Tasmania in 1998 I read an article in the Hobart Mercury, a concern some prisoners who were allowed out of Hayes prison farm on weekends to go fishing in the Durban River. The article focused on one prisoner James Rino Neon, who was serving the life sentence for the murder of a boy in 1975. This bloke was fascinating. He drove in Tasmania in November 1974, murdered a nine-year-old boy at Eagle Hawk Mac in early February 1975. In April he murdered another boy and in the intervening period of two months he unsuccessfully tried to abduct at least another five

7:41boys. It was a very strong pattern. It almost experienced told me that a person doesn't just arrive in a new state then start killing and abducting. They had to be previous crimes. I wrote to Jim and told him a bit about myself. I said I'd like to come out to Hayes and talk to him about his life. He wrote straight back agreeing to meet me. That was the start of my journey. Jim, you have spent over quarter of a century in the prison system. Twenty-six and a half years. I'm worried about there. How have you found it? Well I haven't gotten the older. I've deliberately not had a birthday since I came in. How old were you when you came in at the prison?

8:45Twenty-seven and now fifty-four. Yeah I was born in Melbourne, forty-seven. Went to school, Scotch College, Colfield Grower. Scotch College was a very upper-class boarding school which I did not like. Did you enjoy schooling? No. No. And no again. I suppose you know reasonably the normal, unaventful sort of childhood. A father was in real estate which I followed him into after leaving school. We used to go away on annual holidays, fishing trips. One of my favourite places in Sarvinsons, very very young, was Johanna River, the Western District of Victoria,

9:46Cape Op way, the area. We used to go camping down there at least every year. We knew all the farmers, the families in the area. And I suppose by any chance did any of those farmers happen to have some nice daughters? You could have won track mind. Yes they did. I mentioned at the beginning of this that I learned fishing and shooting and other things and the other things I'd quite a bit to do with one particular daughter of this farm. I think I was probably about six when I saw the father, Lee's father, caught him in a really harsh demanding tone, authoritative, like Sajan in the army, typed tone of voice. Lee come here and I remember seeing Lee have to walk towards his father with all his fear in his face. The father had a stick about

10:4830 centimetres long and he got hold of Lee by the arm and started belting him hard with the stick hard enough that he swung off the ground. It was obviously an unhappy hairstyle. Your mum and dad cracked me from wrong here. Your mother had a problem with the boat. Yes, it still does. Oh she still does. Oh yeah, it still does. Chimae Niel's father had been a prisoner of war. He had a lot of problems. Chima's mother was a much younger woman and apparently a pretty bad alcoholic. They fought violently and the police were called to their house in Brighton on many occasions.

13:55Pym dropped out of his real estate course at Pran Tech and set himself up as a gun dealer. Round about this time, he got himself tangled up with some notorious underworld figures. People like George Joseph, the man who supplied the gun that killed Andy Drugs Campainer, Donald McCoy. I don't care what anyone says, nice fella. Who were the other people that you come in contact with? To a much lesser, a much smaller expansion barley. She don't marfeer. You know what I mean? They like to portray that sort of attitude. There's such a great deal that went on in Melbourne that never came to light. There was only sort of known by those involved. I'd grown up in Melbourne, you know, gone to good schools and that, and I hadn't known, in clean, of what actually went on. And all of a sudden I was introduced to

14:59a world where judges could be bought. Where police officers could be bought. And not just bought, but actively engaged in the criminal activities. I got the failing gym like this money quick and easy. He branched out into a new line of work. He started buying uncut opals and selling them to jules in Melbourne. It must have paid him pretty well because he made a lot of road trips backwards and forwards to keep paid him between 65 and 67. How many such trips approximately would you have made? Oh, that's hard to estimate exactly, but quite a few. 15. Yeah.

16:01Going to be more. And how many vehicles would you have worn out in that period? That's right. Because I mean, you know, to get stranded out there was you could go for several days and see no one. I have actually made trips up there where you leave Port Augusta, turn off towards Whomra and not see another vehicle for the entire rest of the trip. All the horror stories that I'd been told about Cooper-Pedi, I mean, I know they happened. And they even happened miles up there, but what were some of the horror stories that you heard about? Well, hopefully just disappear. Er... We were talking about Cooper-Pedi and he claimed up on me. This wasn't the first time he'd done it. I started to think to myself, what's he done in the mid 60s in South Australia that he doesn't want

17:03me to know about? In all the time I'd spent talking to Jim, he'd maintained that he'd never had any trouble with the police before he was arrested in Tasmania. Not even a speeding ticket. I'd heard some stories about an incident with some kids in Victoria, but I never had any hard facts. Then one day out of the blue he handed me a copy of his 96-barrel assessment. I've got no idea why he did this because I'm paid three or details of 12 charges against him for a reduction in indecent assault and four boys in Melbourne in 1971.

18:05I'd spent a lot of time with Jim, I knew, and I felt I was getting far too close to him. So I decided to see if he'd talk more openly to someone he'd never met before. I read in the files when I read the whole case and the pro board reports that there were accusations and any accusations that things that happened in Melbourne with boys. This I can also write. I'm under legal. Did you have a chance to talk to the pro board? I have had, yes. Did they imply to you that you were sexually interested in boys? Were you able to answer that? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. There are no proven incidents of that right. What's so ever? How would you describe your sexuality? Would you say you're just a heterosexual man? A lot of recent years. More like a monk.

19:12You'd see yourself as being a man. And demonstrably so. But wouldn't people say, I'm sorry to hike back, but I think it's important that there were boys in the two cases and then the one case. Why boys? Just accident happened to be there. I have no idea. No one whatsoever. You had an accident, didn't you? I was a licensed gun dealer. I had a partner at the time. And we'd purchased a 32 barretta, which wasn't feeding properly. And he was stupidly, I suppose, cycling, live rounds through the mechanism. And one discharged and it hit me right there. I was later taken out

20:21in hospital and had gone back through a skull. A bit of damage there. Gone down through, but your turn went down through this road and lodged him a neck. But that led to a lot of blackouts. Well, I think a more proper description of what they were was an unaccounted for period of time. You may know you're seeing Jail for a murder in Reckons, he can't remember because of the gunshot wound. But I had a strong feeling that his problems began a lot earlier than that. It's about the worst possible thing that could happen if you've got someone who's already anti-social and then you damage his frontal lobe because that he's already got limited control over impulses. And the frontal lobe is where the control over impulses resides. So if you're not that out, he's going to become even more disinhibited than he would have been before had even more impulsive.

21:33I found out from the trial documents that as a child, Jim O'Neil was prone to fantasies. There are instances of cruelty to animals, dishonesty, harshness and truancy. On top of that, there was also a strong inference from one of the psychiatrists that Jim himself had been sexually molested as a child, probably by someone close to him. You talked about your father, how was your relationship with your mother? You said you had a pretty good relationship with your father. I mean, you got on reasonably with your mother, was that? It's so, so. What, just couldn't get close or got too close? Can we get this one?

22:35The body language is so interesting. He'd go left, he's going to lie. He'd go right, how am I going to get out of this one? Yeah. Following your shooting in Victoria, can you take us through a chronological sequence of events? No, Gordon, I can't. Well, that's... Sorry. See, if I mention that, it's going to position it. Jim jumped bail before he could face trial for the boys in Victoria. He headed to the West and disappeared off the radar for quite a while. At first, Jim talked openly about his time in the West. He told me about how he'd worked on cattle stations around

23:38Fetroy Crossing. But then, for some reason, he started to get real evasive. He said that on a legal advice, he wouldn't say where he'd been or when he was there. He told me he was worried that one day the police might find something and plant his DNA on it. Any man with something to hide would make such a commede. And what are you real life? Redone to BRID, GAO2, and the Christian Huntley, Anthony, Helio, G.O. Shelley, I'm really out of time. Yes. Why didn't you chat? Look over the other side. I don't really don't know. I didn't conceal my move at school. I mean, you know, my friends, my family and all that, do exactly where I was and what I was doing. I talked to people up there and it surprised me how many of them remember Jim out of Neil.

24:44He apparently spent a lot of time hanging around the Fetroy Crossing pub. It was there that he met, then married a young Tasmania barmaid. A fan, one bloke, who actually went to the wedding. Well, I suppose the first time I really run into him properly was he came up to Fetroy Crossing and he wasn't actually doing anything. He just in the bar there for quite a while and he actually met one of the barmaids Carol at that stage and they end up getting married and to this day I still don't know whether anybody got up and told Carol that the things that people were saying about us or the future. I was working for the Department of Agriculture at that stage out at the research station where the research station 23 mile out of town and the next minute he ended up there as manager. I certainly wasn't happy about working for him. How did he get the job? Yeah, Jim could tell a pretty good story. There's full of shit basically. So, you know, he would just go in there and he would have spun a yarn and said that he had done that and they

25:47probably wouldn't have done a decent check up on him. Did you notice a scar on Jim's head? Well, he told us about that. Like he had been shot and he told us it was in Vietnam that it happened and apparently the bullet went in here and out through the back of his head there and it was a war wound from Vietnam that we heard. I got on the phone to an old bloke who'd been a JP up there. He had no time for Jim at all and there was something else. He told me about the unsolved death of an Aboriginal boy in November 73. An Aboriginal? Was it a young fellow? Yeah, he was found wrapped in barbed wire around the log and he was actually found up a tree once the rivers have sided that just went down as a tribal killing to the best of my knowledge.

26:53He wasn't any records about the boy's death, no official inquest, no newspaper stories, nothing and it was pretty clear some people didn't appreciate me raising the subject. Was there any deaths up there at all that you thought was a bit suspicious that the toy may know? Or was up there? No, there was some blackful of tide on a log floating down the river but that you know that's a sort of blackful of cave where we didn't know something you wouldn't take bloody notice of but he evidently had a bit to do with the gym so really did that. Oh, I thought there was eminies made up the race, it's got tangled up with the gyms. The Mullahjar communities located me some of the stations that Jim worked on. A few of the elders

But I got a nagging feeling.

30:00Things weren't quite right. Things became clearer when I took to the owners of fossil downs. One of the big stations where Jim worked for a while as a stormant. For someone who only worked there for a couple of months more than 30 years ago, he seemed to have made quite an impression on them. We found no fault with Jim's work. It was the more the moral issue I suppose that prompted us to ask him to go because in due course it came out because the native girls can never keep secrets. They said that Jim was paying for their favours by giving them bacon and drinks. Who's that fellow? Do you? Jim O'Neill? A guy who used to work on another property time. He said that he'd done the Bamoont job. That's Bamoont children in South Australia.

31:01At the time I thought he was too young to be involved at all and didn't take much notice of it. Now there was another young Aboriginal boy found dead in the river somewhere around Fittroy crossing. Did somebody tell you something about that? No. We just hear people dying but not we didn't hear that. We probably heard about it but we didn't hear of any of the details of it. If we did we'd forgot. I thought you'd said to me on the phone that you'd one of the workers had told you that Jim had spoken about killing an Aboriginal boy. No, no. I said nothing. That wasn't me because I don't know anything about that. He apologized to me the next day. He said there were some things but left unsee.

32:02I decided to have a talk to Norm Adams. He'd been a policeman in Fittroy crossing. When I talked to him a couple of days earlier he'd mentioned the boy in the river. With the boy. What was the guts of that? Never heard of it before? I'd try. Well if you never heard of it this Norm didn't want to talk but I found out there was another policeman in Fittroy crossing at the time Jim was there. He died a few years ago. These wife was happy to talk to him. She didn't remember the boy in the river but she had plenty to say about Jim A. Neal. Soon as Trevor met Jim A. Neal he said I don't trust that plague. He's a sloy man. He's written all over him. He said there's something not right about that plague. He didn't like the way he hung around the children particularly Norm Adams's boys. On one occasion P. R. Snorm to let the boys and they had a daughter Vicky a bit younger.

33:07Spend the night out there and Trevor did ask for him not to let them go but he did. Trevor was very very angry about the whole episode and we went out there the next day and had this barbecue and a bit of his restful die Carol was terribly upset. She thought the marriage was a sort of a sham and she didn't say straight out that he belted her around but she certainly intimated that he did. She used to tell these outrageous stories. He reckoned he's that wound in his head naturally somebody would inquire about it. He told one story that his mother's boyfriend was a gangster and that he had shot him in the head. She may know you'll tell the pack of lies when he was in the Kimberly. Apart from the fact he told people he was a driver when he couldn't ride a horse. He also said he was an accountant, a Vietnam veteran, a Bush lawyer and even an Asiago agent.

34:15By all accounts Jim wasn't much of a manager and eventually the department moved him sideways to Derby. By this time his wife was three months pregnant. He left Fittroy crossing in August 74. Within weeks of him arriving in Derby a young boy disappeared off the street. A few years back a friend of mine was telling me that a little boy went down to a shop and to get something around tea time and never ever returned home again. I don't remember what year that was. I just remembered him telling me this and it's just stuck in the head ever since. This fellow said he was 12-year-old when he went missing. The Sharpie went to has been gone from there maybe 10 years, maybe more. According to a missing person's report this boy was last soon getting into a car driven by a European man outside Elder's store in Derby. He just

35:20went to the local shop. It's the exact same thing that happened in Tasmania. The first boy disappeared after going to the shop to get a cart and a cigarette's free father. The second boy was getting a cap and a mill. Jimani starred in Derby for a couple of months. Imagine your friend tells you she's taking an innocent family trip to Greenville, South Carolina.

He killed the boy at Eagle Hawk Knack in early February 75. On the same day, he brought his wife a newborn son home from hospital. We came down from the Kimois, you know, directly to

38:36here. We arrived in, I think, about the middle of November, 74, and I was in prison on the second of May, 75. So, he wasn't long, no. One of the detectives who arrested and charged Jim A'Neil is now that there's mainly a police commissioner. He was a junior detective sergeant in early 75. When he and his partner tracked Jim and his wife to a motel in Lonson, treated a form, Jim was about to leave the state. When the second boy disappeared off the street, he was doing a paper run and his disappearance sparked a great deal of concern. There was anger, there was fear, there was a great deal of media speculation that there was perhaps a serial killer operating in Tasmania. And of course, that turned out to be very much the case. We discovered that in the fortnight prior to the second boy disappearing, that there were probably four, if not five other children who had been picked up, taken to remote locations, who had managed to

39:43escape the person that had abducted them and get away relatively injury free. O'Neil at that time was a barman at the Lufre Hotel, which is the Eagle Hawk Neck Hotel. And of course, he was a very dominant influence in the search and offered all sorts of advice and assistance. And of course, the investigation later proved that he had picked the boy up on the day that he was due to bring his wife home from hospital from having their first child. He obviously saw this kitty playing in the washway, somehow or other got him into the car, took him up a desperately long, lonely bush track, had his way with him sexually and then inflicted massive injuries to his head with a rock. We visited the key sites, the sites where the bodies had been left, the sites where some clothing had been secreted. The photographs we took shown being absolutely relaxed, smoking, very distant from the whole activity. So much so that when we were eventually up this enormously long, difficult,

40:48thickly overgrown bush track to find the first child, O'Neil stepped on the remains and it wasn't there is or there's Ricky, it was there it is. He showed absolutely no remorse at all. There was never a tear shed by him about what he'd done to those children. Could you explain to me what you mean by it wouldn't ever have happened? The charge that arose to bring you in here. Well the charge was murder and the victim was a child and lighter on seeking your body and I felt very sorry for that jury because that court could not have made a decision,

41:50an accurate decision because nobody in that court goes in the information they needed to do it. It was a load of crap from both the defence and the prosecution. Him's trial was over in four days. He was sentenced to prison for the term for his natural life. See I maintained and still do that I had no memory of the event at all. I mean not not partial or that it was just no memory of it there. And I think after 28 years, Himalayan or still years as blackouts as he's excuse, even though it came out he persuaded his wife to create a false alibi for him. He also had disposed of his bloodstone clothing. Later he led detectives to the body he'd

42:56been in. He may have suffered some form of blackout at some stage. He suffered a major head injury and he had meningitis and there were a couple of episodes in the past fairly soon after the illness that may have been a form of epilepsy and that's a fairly high risk for someone who suffered a penetrating head injury and who suffered meningitis. He would be at high at risk for epilepsy but I just cannot conceive of a situation where you carry out highly complex activities of abducting a child and killing a child during epilepsy. That would be that would be unique. Him told me he'd had at least eight or nine of the so-called blackouts while he was traveling around the country. He'd already used blackouts as he's excuse in Tasmania

43:57and I wondered what else he was hiding. I think one of the times that sticks on my memory is I found myself in the Western District of Victoria sitting on a beach in a suit in a business suit with waves washing around me sitting on the edge of the ocean there and actually becoming aware of where I was at that particular time and yet I could not have told you how I got there or what I was doing there. You tell me what period of time was missing? Well probably in the vicinity of 24 hours. When we started to check on the background about the places that it been I think from memory that there are about seven or eight kiddies who are almost

45:00copy book in various places around Australia who had simply disappeared and never to be found. Let me ask you a real hard question. Don't answer it if you don't want to but the question is do you ever worry about what you might have done when you had the worst period of blackouts? Does it ever worry you that as you can't remember because that was the worst period? What other things might have? That's quite correct. But then again nothing has come to light. Right.

I got hold of a couple of letters from the police in South Australia, written to the officer in charge of Fittroy Crossing. These letters made me think, why was Jim and Neil granted violent Victoria? And why is it that the police in three states never spoke to each other until after he was arrested and has money? The dates in this document clearly relate to the disappearance of two young girls from the Oval in Adelaide on the 25th of August 1973. And there was an abduction and buggery committed on a young boy in Elizabeth, the 10th of January 1974, and the previous day there was

48:06another little boy that was abducted and raped. The second document is addressed to Sergeant Charit in part. This document reads, we have been chasing a Neil ever since he was released on bail in Melbourne several years ago. On 13 charges of abduction and indecent assault on young boys, he changed his name and skipped to the west and now as you know has run the full course and killed two boys in Tazzy and it is anybody's guess how many other kids he's interfered with during his travels. For some reason or another he denies ever having been to South Australia. The thing I found interesting is that the South Australia police had been looking for a noose since he jumped bail in 1971. That was before the incident referred to in the letters.

49:07It got me thinking maybe they wanted to talk to him about something else. Something that occurred when he was traveling between Melbourne and Koper Pyrrhyi in the mid-60s. The disappearance of the Beaumont children from Glenelde Beach in Adelaide is the most baffling mystery in Australian criminal history. It was Australia day in 1966 and the temperature was over 40 degrees. The three children, aged 97 and four, went to the beach and were never seen again. One of the last sightings of them was in a beachside milk bar. In my travels I've come across people who told me that Jimi and I already had confessed that he was involved in the disappearance of the Beaumont children. Unfortunately the original

50:10witnesses were dead so I traveled to Adelaide to talk to Brian Spon who's in charge of the Beaumont investigation. I'm on the road street here where dealing in open from Koper Pyrrhyii as you know Koper Pyrrhyi is in South Australia. It's just where the possible Beaumont connection comes in. Is movements in South Australia? Yes, he was greatly fascinated with Koper Pyrrhyii and he brought the topic up on numerous occasions and he never once mentioned Adelaide whatsoever. He spoke about going from Melbourne to Koper Pyrrhyii and possibly two years after I'd been commenced visiting him I said to him, where does the road run between Koper Pyrrhyi and Melbourne you got to go through Adelaide. That was the first time that he'd ever mentioned Adelaide and I thought that was a peculiar thing. Do you have him in South Australia? In 1966 I note here,

51:11the late 60s and early 70s definitely from 65 and 66. Specifically, so you mentioned anything about the disappearance of the Beaumont children? I said to him on one occasion that I had heard that he had told other people that he was responsible for the murder of the Beaumont children in 1966 and he's responsible to me was I couldn't have done that. I was in Melbourne at the time, the point that stuck in my mind was he didn't deny it. I don't know if you may know or killed the Beaumont children or not. I know he told others he did it. I can certainly put him in South Australia in 1966. I also know that in all the time he talked about his travels he never once mentioned

52:11Adelaide. He was barely 19 in 1966 but you've got to remember he was only 15 at the time of the incident at Joanna River in 1962. The Joanna River area holds special significance to Jim O'Neal. He's talked about it so many times mostly he was talking about fishing and hunting. Although in my view when he talks about those things he's actually talking about killing. I watched them pack and I watched them come up the drive way past the cow yard. There was no going to dorm. My mother went to the door. She came back in and said that he Lee wanted to talk to me and I went to the door and he asked me to step outside, shut the door behind me and I went to the side a bit where there was a tank. I stood there

53:13and he asked me had I told anyone and I either shook my head and said no and he said we buried him and I must have asked where because I remember him saying across the river from where we camped and that was me then I asked was the other boy with him and then he looked over and I saw the car parked over on the drive and he was sitting watching us and he looked away and then Lee said he had to go and he went over and got in the car and they drove off and watched them go up the road and just spear out of sight and it was then after school the weekend and the next few days anywhere we're looking down along the river went walking looking for a what could be a grave.

54:20I felt that my best chance of proving that Jimin killed out the children would be found on the dairy farm at Joanna. I contacted the Victoria Police and told them I was going to try and locate a body. The search area covered about half an acre of flood plain was badly overgrown with woods and blackberries. The willow trees that lined the river when Jimin's mate were there in 1962 had recently been cut down and piled into wind roads. You see that, Tony? What do you think that is? Pretty good sign, I think. He says it was here that he had his biggest blackout ever. When he woke up he was sitting on the beach, the waves were washing around him. His clothes were muddy and torn as if he'd been digging.

55:26He claimed he had no idea how he got there and reckons that he'd been missing for more than 24 hours. The experts I've spoken to about his so-called blackouts all agree. It's a code that he uses to describe a period of time when he committed serious offences.

56:47The wildest man of the world. Forty years has longed for a small body to be buried. It's possible we missed finding it by centimeters. Or even that he moved it at a low-diet time. Whatever the case, I'm still convinced that when he was 15 years old something significant happened here. Maybe even his first taste of murder. Psychopaths are people who like to control other human beings.

57:51Who often like to control life and death and here you have a situation of a man who's nurturing worms but then feeds them to rodents. And the symbolism for a psychopath and that is enormous. He'll tell you as much as he wants you to know at particular times. But I've got no doubt that he's got an inheritor ability to persuade himself that he's absolutely guilty of nothing. Jim and you both fish and hunt. But Jim goes one step further. He hunts for humans too. He did it when he called those two boys and I think he's done it in the past.

58:54Earlier this year I went out to Hayes to talk to Jim I know. I wanted to ask him some questions about the things people had said about him. He lost his temper and stormed off shouting. I'm putting an end to this. You're trying to set me up. Over three years Jim and I did a lot of talking. But for the moment it looks like my questions are going to remain unanswered. They'll probably never be answered but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop asking. Fishing creeks, small rivers is my greatest love where you can read the water and work out where the fish will be lying or is most likely to be lying and using a small hook.

1:00:00Most likely I'll only use one worm. Yeah I think when I think back the best fish, especially the fish I've caught down here, I've been stargazing or not taking much notice at all but I've just lobbed a lure just a tazzy devil or something that you can get a bit of distance with. There was no finesse, no skill if you like, involved at all. I mean that lure hit the water near a hungry salmon. If you couldn't care less, if you just stick a worm on an ordinary breed. James Ryan O'Neill is now 56 years old. He has served 28 years in prison and is currently Tasmania's longest serving prisoner for a single offense. His last application for parole was in 1996. In that report, there is an excerpt from a letter written by the Crown Advocate in 1975.

1:01:06In my opinion, this man is a very dangerous man indeed and any question of his release should be approached very cautiously. Further, any person considering the release of O'Neill should, in my opinion, make inquiries of the police in Victoria and Western Australia. The first time he was in the world, he was a man of his own.
