Crimes That Shook Australia - S02E02 - Peter Falconio

On the 14 July 2001, British couple Peter Falconio and Joanne Lees stopped on the Stuart Highway in the Northern Territory after a man flagged down their car. This man, later identified as Bradley Murdoch, supposedly shot Falconio before tying Lees up and covering her head.
