In this exclusive Melbourne Marvels special, host Eamonn tracks down and speaks directly with the elusive witness who encountered Mr Cruel on the very night he released his young victim, Sharon Wills in December 1988. For decades, this brief but chilling interaction has lingered on the edges of the case, and it has been unclear as to whether it was a genuine encounter with the offender. Now, for the first time, listeners will hear the witness recount his experience in his own words—what he saw, what he felt, and what he remembers most about that night.
This rare conversation sheds new light on one of the most disturbing chapters in Melbourne’s true crime history and details why it is almost certain that the man driving the Holden Commodore Vacationer was in fact the offender known as ‘Mr Cruel’.
