Hitchhiker murdered in gruesome outback slaughterhouse

It’s more than three decades since young hitchhiker Tony Jones disappeared while holidaying in North Queensland. He is presumed murdered, but until now there has been very little information uncovered about what exactly happened to him. On 60 MINUTES, Ross Coulthart investigates this baffling cold case and interviews key witnesses who bravely break a code of silence to reveal long-held, dark secrets. Their evidence suggests the then 20-year-old victim was killed and his body disposed of in an outback slaughterhouse. It’s a gruesome crime, stranger than fiction, but this case looks to be on the verge of being solved – and finally the perpetrators may be about to face justice.
