The Edgar’s Creek Suspect Sighting – Mr Cruel 9

In, The Edgar’s Creek Suspect Sighting, a special edition of the Melbourne Marvels and Who is Mr Cruel podcast collaboration, we take time out from telling the Karmein Chan story to discuss a recent meeting and interview Eamonn from Melbourne Marvels had with the witness David.

David had a staggering encounter with a suspicious man on the night of 13 April 1991, about 90 minutes after Karmein Chan was abducted from her Templestowe home by an unknown assailant.

That night David saw this suspect fire a gunshot at Edgar’s Creek in Reservoir, the same creek where Karmein’s remains were found on 9 April, 1992.

David has previously told this story on his Youtube channel, @australianews, in 2012. However, in this episode, Eamonn visits the site in question with David where we retrace his steps that night, and he reveals a few more intriguing details about his experience that day.
