And then on the 12th of May, a bloke and his friend who lived in Kalgoorlie were taking this guy's car out for a spin.

And they parked on the side of the road about five miles southwest of Kalgoorlie.

And I think the guy was going to take a leak.

And he kind of wandered off into the sort of off the side of the dirt road there.

And he smelled some bad stuff coming up out of an abandoned mine called Miller's Find.

And he looked down there, couldn't really see much, but he thought this is, you know, it could be a dead animal, but I might've found the coppers.

Went back to Kalgoorlie.

It was dark by that stage.

So the next morning, everybody came out there.

They brought a special murder policeman out from Perth.

And they also had a really old miner called Billy Batten, who specialized in this sort of work.

He'd rescued people and so forth from

collapsed mines previously.

So he went down and the mine at the bottom of this shaft, it was just sort of stacked with crap.

There was corrugated iron on the top, and then there were bags of bricks and coal and ore, and there was clothing, including a pair of tailored double-seated pants, gray trousers, which did not belong to the police.

And these would become quite crucial.

They found a bloodstained saw, knives, et cetera.

And this guy's down in this hole, just surrounded by really angry flies and this stench.

And then he finds what's buried beneath it.

And it's dismembered arms, legs wrapped in Hessian sacks.
