A British forensic expert says he has pinpointed an abandoned racetrack near Barrow Creek (a remote outback settlement in Australia's Northern Territory, roughly 300km north of Alice Springs) as the most likely burial site of Peter Falconio, a British backpacker murdered there in 2001. Dr Mark Harrison, formerly the UK's national police search adviser, reached this conclusion after revisiting the area with a retired FBI criminal profiler, narrowing five candidate sites down to three, with the disused racecourse — just 8km from the attack — identified as the primary location for any future geoforensic search. Falconio's killer, Bradley John Murdoch, was convicted in 2005 but died in prison last year without ever disclosing where he had hidden the body, and Harrison says the racecourse has never been searched to the standard required to rule it out.
