1993: Two More Victims Discovered: The Backpacker Murders in the Forest South-West of Sydney
German backpackers Gabor Neugebauer and Anja Habschied had vanished without trace nearly two years earlier when their remains were finally found in shallow graves in Belanglo State Forest, in bushland south-west of Sydney, on 4 November 1993. Gabor had been shot in the head.
Anja had been decapitated, her head severed with a machete or sword in an act of brutality that shocked investigators even amid the horror of the Belanglo forest killings. Despite exhaustive searches of the forest, her skull was never recovered, and remains missing to this day.
