usual spots and Worrell forced the girl into the back seat. Miller sat in the front, waiting to be told to leave. While he was sitting there, Worrell started to tie the girl up. She was struggling and crying but Worrell was too strong. Miller got out of the car and walked about 50m away. He later stated that he heard voices and turnedto see the girl falling out of the car to the ground as if she had been kicked in the stomach. Worrell rolled her over with his foot, knelt on her stomach and strangled her with a length of rope. They placed the body back in the car and drove back to the Truro area. On this occasion, they didn’t bury the body in a grave but simply covered it with branches and leaves. They took care to dispose of the body away from the previous victims. They then drove back to Adelaide.
On 6 February, Miller and Worrell picked up 16-year-old Sylvia Pittman as she waited for a train at Adelaide Station. They drove to another secluded area where, as soon as they arrived, Worrell told Miller to go for a walk. After half an hour, Miller returned to find the girl lying face down on the back seat with a rug over her. She had been strangled with her own tights. As with the previous victims, they then disposed of the body in a similarly remote area.
The following day, 7 February 1977, Worrell told Miller to pick him up at the Adelaide Post Office building at 7pm. With Worrell was 26-year-old Vicki Howell. Vicki was older than the others and Miller took a liking to her straight away. Vicki seemed to have a few worries and mentioned that she was separated from her husband. As they drove along, Worrell even had Miller stop the car so the girl could use the toilet. A little further on Miller stopped the car and, leaving the couple to chat, he went to the bushes to relieve himself. He returned a few minutes later on the pretext that he had forgotten his cigarettes. He was really checking to see if the girl was all right. She was nice. He didn’t want Worrell to kill her.
Miller was still hoping that the woman would not be murdered and walked away into the bush. A short time later, Miller returned to the car to find Worrell kneeling on the front seat and leaning into the back. He was covering Vicki Howell’s body with the blanket. She had been strangled. Again, they drove back to Truro and disposed of the body, hiding it under foliage.
Two days later, on 9 February, Miller and Worrell werecruising in the centre of Adelaide when they spotted 16-year-old Connie Iordanides standing on the footpath. They did a U-turn, pulled up in front of the girl and asked if she wanted a lift. She accepted and sat in the front between the two men. Connie became frightened when the car headed in the opposite direction to where she wanted to go. Miller stopped at another secluded spot and Worrell forced the screaming girl into the back seat. Miller did nothing to help the girl and got out and walked away from the car. When he returned to the car, Connie Iordanides was dead. Worrell had strangled and raped her. She was on the back seat covered with a blanket. Again, Miller did as he was instructed and drove back to Truro and hid the fully clothed body under bushes.
On 12 February 1977, they committed their fourth murder in a week. In the early hours of that morning Miller and Worrell were again cruising the city when they picked up 20-year-old hitchhiker Deborah Lamb. Worrell suggested that they could take her where she wanted to go and the girl allegedly accepted the ride. They drove to the beach at Port Gawler. Miller left them alone and went for a walk. When he returned to the car, Worrell was standing in front of it, filling in a hole in the sand by pushing sand into it with his feet. The girl was nowhere to be seen. It was later to come out in court that this victim may have still been alive when buried in the sand.
On Saturday, 19 February 1977, in a cruel twist of fate and before the police had a chance to arrest and convict
