On September 19, 1952, 22-year-old Betty Shanks got off the train at Days Road Terminus in Grange which is a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland in Australia. She was attending classes at the University of Queensland and after she got off the train, started her short walk home. However, she would never arrive.
Her violently beaten body was found on the corner of Carberry and Thomas streets in the garden of a house the next morning at 5:35 am by a policeman who lived nearby. At the time, it became one of Queensland's most notorious investigations ever.
Despite many theories, a suspect was never convicted and her murder is still unsolved. There are many books written by authors speculating who did it and many have come forward and confessed but all of them have proven to be false. As of today, there is still a $50,000 AUS reward.
