Catherine Linda Headland, who was just 14 at the time of her disappearance and death.By the time homicide arrived at the unmade road it was already a cold trail - but now, 37 years later, police have six million reasons to believe they may catch a serial killer suspected of murdering six women taken from the streets of Melbourne streets in Australia.It is one of Australia's most baffling murder mysteries - six females, aged from 14 to 73, all grabbed seemingly at random in an 18-month period and dumped in scrub. All were on foot when abducted from or near main roads - all but one in broad daylight.In each case experts could not establish a cause of death and personal items had been removed from the victims, either to conceal identity or to be kept as trophies by the killer. December 1980: Victoria Police at search HQ during the hunt for clues at the site in Tynong North where three female bodies were discovered.But no charges were laid. Now Australian police will offer A$6 million in rewards, A$1 million each, for six unsolved murders in the hope they will uncover information that will lead to the person or persons responsible for the murders of two women whose bodies were found in Frankston and four found in Tynong North.The head of the Homicide Squad Cold Case Team, Detective Senior Sergeant Peter Trichias, knows that rewards work in seemingly dead-end cases. Just a few weeks ago, the 2008 murder of James Russouw was solved after a reward announcement sparked a call to Crime Stoppers with key evidence: 'We hope in this case it will help provide new information.'

Trichias says cold cases can be solved when alibi witnesses recant, witnesses decide to come forward or offenders slip up and incriminate themselves. And there is always the chance of an accomplice who may have helped in the cover-up. Joy Carmel Summers' body was found on November 22, 1981.Ann-Marie Sargent, 18, disappeared after intending to catch a bus to the Dandenong office of the Commonwealth Employment Service and then visit the Clyde post office on October 6, 1980.

Maplestory 2 trailer. Narumol Stephenson, a 34-year-old mother of two, disappeared early on the morning of November 29, 1980.Allison Rooke, 59, left her Frankston home to go shopping on May 30, 1980, walking to the nearby Frankston-Dandenong Road to catch a bus. Her body was found on July 5, 1980, hidden in scrub near Skye Road, Frankston.Joy Carmel Summers, 55, was to have caught a bus on the Frankston-Dandenong Road on October 9, 1981. On November 22, 1981, her body was found in scrub beside Skye Rd.A 1985 review by the Bureau of Criminal Intelligence suggested there were three killers - the sand quarry murderer, the Skye Rd offender and another who killed Stephenson. Bertha Miller, a 75-year-old mission worker and Sunday school teacher, was one of three women whose bodies were found dumped at Tynong North in December 1980.For this to be correct there had to be two serial killers targeting woman on foot, dumping bodies in scrub who removed personal items and then stopped killing at around the same time.

And then just by fluke, seven weeks after the last sand quarry victim was killed, Stephenson was murdered and dumped off Brew Rd.A 1990 re-examination by the same agency rejected the 'three killers' theory. 'On the balance of probabilities, the same person or persons were responsible for the murders of Allison Rooke, Bertha Miller, Catherine Linda Headland, Ann-Marie Sargent and Joy Carmel Summers.' It did not have enough facts to draw conclusions regarding Stephenson's murder.The review examined several suspects but declared the 'best nominated' was Harold John Janman, a former projectionist with a propensity for offering women lifts in his car and with links to both Tynong North and Frankston.
