Murder mystery author to speak

THE discovery of human remains in the backyard of a Silverleaves property last month has been dismissed by police as relating to any high-profile missing persons cases.

But it did not stop intense interest in the 1986 Phillip Island murder of 23-year-old Beth Barnard and the disappearance of Vivienne Cameron.

The interest developed in the wake of a high-rating podcast on Casefile with Vikki Petraitis, co-author of The Phillip Island Murder and ahead of the release of a new book by Ms Petraitis, The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron.

Ms Petraitis is set to speak about her book at a Crime Night at the Wonthaggi Workers Club on Friday, March 13 at 7pm.

Tickets are available on Trybooking.
