Shocking new revelations about her murder have been uncovered

- John Burfitt.

On a May morning in 1997, outside Parramatta’s Parkroyal Hotel, Sydney, mother Kerry Whelan climbed into a car driven by a man she knew and was never seen again.

Her abductor and killer Bruce Burrell took the secrets of her death to his grave six years ago, along with the details regarding his 1995 killing of grandmother Dorothy Davis.

Missing, Presumed Dead by author Mark Tedeschi, lead prosecutor in the case against Burrell, has been released on the 25-year milestone of Kerry’s abduction and murder.

“Here was this beautiful woman who at 39 had this loving family with three children, who then disappears off the face of the earth,” Mark tells Woman’s Day.

“When police disclosed Burrell was not just their prime but only suspect, overnight he became the most hated man in Australia. The crime really shocked the nation.”

LAZY & ENTITLED

Burrell had endured financial problems for years, and after marrying his wife Dallas, relied on her and his father. He had previously been employed by Kerry’s husband, businessman Bernie Whelan, but proved so inept he was fired. Yet the former advertising executive still felt entitled to an easy life.
