Bloody, bloody murder. That's what comes to mind when you say the words 'Belanglo State Forest' to an Australian.
This huge expanse of bushland on the southern outskirts of Sydney is haunted by bloodshed. It's a ground where tourists have been massacred, hitchhikers repeatedly blasted in the face with guns and innocents decapitated by sadistic murderers.
It is the notorious killing ground for serial killer Ivan Milat. And on Wednesday, the Belanglo State Forest was revealed to be at the centre of another shocking murder - this time, the double killing of a young mother and her little girl.
Investigators revealed a dead toddler, found dumped in a suitcase off the side of a dusty highway in South Australia in July this year, belonged to the daughter of a murder victim whose skeleton was discovered by trailbike riders in the New South Wales forest in 2010.
In dramatic press conferences, police from two states revealed the Belanglo body - which until today was codenamed 'Angel' by homicide detectives - belonged to single mother Karlie Jade Pearce-Stevenson.
Even more shockingly, the years-in-the-making breakthrough only came about after investigators realised the suitcase body found on the other side of the country by a passerby was Karlie's daughter, Khandalyce Kiara Pearce.
The revelations these chilling and mysterious murders were linked to the notorious forest have come as a shock to locals and evoked memories of its chilling past, beginning with the infamous 'backpacker murders' of the early 1990s.
Between December 1989 and April 1992, seven backpackers aged between 19 and 22 disappeared while travelling south from Sydney. Each had set out along the Hume Highway towards Canberra, the nation's capital, but none had returned home.
Three of those lost were German (Anja Habschied, Gabor Neugebauer, Simone Schmidl), two were from the United Kingdom (Joanne Walters and Caroline Clarke) and two were Australian (Deborah Everist and James Gibson).
All were hitchhiking. And all had the misfortune of running into the twisted, now infamous figure of Ivan Milat.
Over a 14 month period from September 1992, the seven bodies were discovered in the Belanglo State Forest by runners, locals and police. They were not in a great state, given what had happened to them.
Two of the victims were strangled, according to official court records. Two were shot in the head several times. Two had their spinal cords severed. One body was completely decapitated. All but one had evidence of 'sexual interference, either before or after death'.
Forensics officers remarked they had all been savagely attacked 'with a great deal more force than was necessary to cause death, and apparently for some form of psychological gratification.'
Police confirm remains of Karlie and Khandalyce Pearce-Stevenson.
