On the 10th of February 1966, two teenagers left a rock-and-roll dance in Shepparton, Victoria to go for a drive, but they never returned. Shortly after, there was a number of connected sexual attacks in Melbourne's Eastern suburbs which went unsolved for the next decade. The Shepparton attack was linked to the Melbourne attacks by a young fingerprint expert, but the offender, known by the media as 'Mr Stinky' due to his offensive body odour, was not caught until almost 20 years after his first known attack.
