WA; Police raid properties in 8yo serial killer investigation

Police investigating the serial serial killing of three young Perth women have raided
two properties linked to the chief suspect, but say charges aren't imminent.

Officers swooped yesterday on the Cottesloe residence of the 47-year-old public servant
at the centre of the investigation into the suspected murder of 18-year-old SARAH SPIERS,
and the murder of 23-year-old JANE RIMMER and 27-year-old CIARA GLENNON.

Police say they're using new technology to re-examine the man's beachside unit and
all the forensic information gathered in the eight-year investigation.

The investigation into the murder of the three women, who disappeared from the affluent
Perth suburb of Claremont in 1996 and 1997, has become the most expensive in Australian
history.









Ms SPIERS disappeared from outside a Claremont nightclub on January the 27th, 1996.

The body of Ms RIMMER was found in bushland south of Perth in August 1996 after she
disappeared from Claremont in June of that year.

And Ms GLENNON was found murdered on April the 3rd, 1997 -- 19 days after she was last
seen in Claremont.
