Australian truck driver Ivan Milat grew up as one of 14 children who were well-known among local law enforcement. After spending time in and out of jail for burglaries and other petty crimes, he escalated. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, several hitchhikers and backpackers in New South Wales went missing. But when bodies started turning up in the Belanglo State Forrest, police determined they had a serial killer on their hands.
