My Dad, The Serial Killer

IVAN MILAT’S DAUGHTER LYNISE REVEALS THE DEVASTATING IMPACT HE’S HAD ON HER LIFE

- 

There was little sympathy among the Australian public when serial killer Ivan Milat died in prison.

The 74-year-old was convicted of murdering seven backpackers in the Belanglo State Forest between 1989 and 1992. However, one person who is devastated by the loss is his daughter, Lynise Milat.

The 54-year-old is in shock following Ivan succumbing to terminal cancer while incarcerated at Long Bay Correctional Centre.

Lynise held out hope that her father would not only pull through the illness but that he would also one day be found innocent of his crimes.

Heartbroken and grieving for the father she “loved’’, Lynise is said to have become a recluse.

The supermarket employee reportedly rarely leaves her Gosford house and the heinous crimes that her father was convicted of have overshadowed any chance she ever had of living a normal life.
