25 Years Later, Police Release New Footage in Unsolved British Backpacker Murder

Northern Territory Police released photographs and body-worn camera footage on 14 July 2026 commemorating the 25th anniversary of Peter Falconio's 2001 murder on Australia's Stuart Highway. The British backpacker was killed during an attack; his girlfriend Joanne Lees survived. Convicted killer Bradley John Murdoch died last year without disclosing the remains' location. Police believe associates may hold details and offer A$500,000 for information leading to the body.
