He showed no remorse for his crimes and enjoyed the thought of being known as a serial killer.Join Shaun and Chloe as they deep dive into Fraser's background, the escalation of his criminality, the stories of the victims, the tragic crimes themselves, and the affect this monster had on the Rockhampton community and broader Australian public.What's most disturbing about this tale is the eerie feeling you're left with at the end.
