Case overview
The Claremont serial killings is the name given by the media to a case involving the disappearance of an Australian woman, aged 18, and the killings of two others, aged 23 and 27, in 1996–1997. After attending night spots in Claremont, Perth, Western Australia, all three women disappeared in similar circumstances leading police to suspect that an unidentified serial killer was the offender.

He was held on remand, and his trial began in November 2019, ending on 25 June 2020 after seven months of hearings and evidence from more than 200 witnesses. After the disappearance of Rimmer, the Western Australia Police set up a special task-force called "Macro" to investigate the two similar cases. After the disappearance of Glennon, police confirmed that they were searching for a serial killer, and the Government of Western Australia offered a $250,000 reward, the largest ever offered in the state at that time.
