How DNA on a glass of beer at airport led to capture of serial Australian rapist, the Night Stalker

More than three decades ago the New South Wales police announced it had formed a special team to catch a man, later dubbed the “Night Stalker” or the “Moore Park rapist”, who terrorised women across Sydney in the early 90s.

A poster with a sketched image of the man, based on one of his victim’s recollections, was also released. Below the image it said: “Do you know this person? Serial rapist sought over possible seven attacks.”

But it wouldn’t be until 2024, thanks to a breakthrough in forensic technology, that the Night Stalker would finally be unmasked as Glenn Gary Cameron.

On Tuesday, the light-haired man, now 61, was beamed via video into Sydney’s Downing Centre court from prison. He pleaded guilty to 13 charges against at least eight women, committed while he was in his 20s.
