True Crime Hour: The Phillip Island Murder
Saturday 12 April 2025 at 10:30AM
Melton Library & Learning Hub
Event Description
In 1986, the discovery of Beth Barnard's body in her farmhouse rocked the once peaceful community of Phillip Island. The main suspect disappeared without a trace and, to this day, no one has been brought to trial for her brutal death. A popular and attractive 23-year-old, Beth had been having an affair with a local married man.
On the night of her murder, a car belonging to Vivienne Cameron, the wife of Beth's lover, was found abandoned by the San Remo Bridge. Despite the lack of further evidence, a Coroner's Court found that Vivienne had killed her rival then jumped to her death into the waters of Westernport Bay. The case was closed, but not forgotten.
Please note: This event discusses topics such as murder and assault.
