Australia's Forgotten Murder
The grim discovery came eight days after Brown, 30, vanished from the harbour city’s bustling party district along Oxford Street, Darlinghurst, leaving a trail of heartache and mystery.
Unravelling the crime fell to Homicide Squad detective Michael Fitzgerald. And while no one has ever been charged over the murder, Fitzgerald, now a superintendent, is confident he knows who the killer is.
A 2002 coronial inquest heard that Sydney painter Martin Trejbal, who lived 2km from where Brown’s body had been discovered and had volunteered wild theories to police in the days after Brown’s disappearance, was a person of interest in the case.
In April 2005, the case went cold—possibly forever—after Trejbal died in his backyard of a drug overdose that police decided was suicide.
