THE HITCHHIKER MURDER MYSTERY OF TWO TEENAGE GIRLS - EXCLUSIVE INVESTIGATION !
In 1972 the two university students left Melbourne with a romantic plan to hitchhike up the east coast to surprise Robin’s mother in her home town of Bowen in Far North Queensland.
Robyn was found murdered and Anita vanished, but "psychic investigator" Ann Villiers claimed to know Anita had survived and assumed a new identity. Villiers even attempted to claim the $250,000 reward from police. But in our investigation Sunday Night reporter Alex Cullen interviewed the woman Villiers claims to be Anita Cunningham.
Robin was a prize-winning student from a poor farming family and Anita was a fellow design student and new housemate. They were missing for four months before Robin’s body was found under a bridge in remote outback Queensland – she had been shot twice in the head and her body dumped in a sandy creek bed. Neither girl touched their bank accounts or made contact with their families since leaving Melbourne. Many questions have remained about Anita's fate — did she survive? Was she murdered? Did she kill her friend and flee?
Despite police investigations, an inquest and a $250,000 reward, this case continues to mystify all who examine it. If you have any information about the murder of Robin Hoinville-Bartram or the disappearance of Anita Cunningham, call Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000
