New footage shows Peter Falconio’s killer Bradley Murdoch refusing reveal location of backpacker's body to Australian police
Police say the rare body-worn footage shows Murdoch again refusing to disclose where Peter Falconio’s remains are, despite a $500,000 reward.
- Northern Territory Police released body-worn footage of convicted killer Bradley John Murdoch on Friday, ahead of the 25th anniversary of Peter Falconio's disappearance. The 70-second clip shows the ageing inmate being questioned in Alice Springs Correctional Centre shortly before his death.
- Filmed three weeks before Murdoch died in 2025, the video captures a final police attempt to locate Falconio's remains. Officers intended to play a statement from Joan and Luciano Falconio, but Murdoch refused to cooperate, telling officers he "knows nothing."
- Police Acting Commander Mark Grieve increased the reward to $500,000 last June, hoping to generate new leads. Grieve stated investigators had made "numerous approaches" to Murdoch over the years, but the killer repeatedly refused to engage.
- Joan and Luciano Falconio publicly thanked Northern Territory Police for "continuing to investigate our son's murder" following Murdoch's death. Conversely, his family described him as "a devoted father" who "was much more than the headlines."
- Despite "no body, no parole" laws introduced in 2016, Murdoch died in 2025 without ever revealing the location of Falconio's remains. This persistent mystery continues to haunt the family as they approach the 25th anniversary of the 2001 Barrow Creek ambush.
