Balaclava Rapist attacks
December 15, 1979: A 30-year-old Tugun woman is bundled into the boot of her car at gunpoint and driven to the Gold Coast Hinterland where she is raped.
December 25, 1979: The masked man ambushes a Cabarita couple in their parked car. The woman is indecently assaulted after the attacker restrains her partner’s hands by winding up the car windows.
December 28, 1979: A man and woman are bombarded at their isolated farmhouse at Cudgen. The woman, ordered to tape her partner’s hands, is raped while the man is forced to watch.
January 25, 1980: A married Burleigh Heads couple are confronted in their home. The woman is forced to bind her husband’s hands but says she is pregnant. The rapist relents and leaves.
February 2, 1980: The rapist targets Jeff Parkinson and his date at Tweed. The woman flees but Parkinson is shot dead.
October 31, 1980: A Gold Coast woman is threatened at gunpoint and raped in her Burleigh Waters unit. Her attacker, in a balaclava, flees on a motorbike.

Police believed he rode a motorcycle and was a factory worker or tradesman.
Described by victims as 177cm tall, between 20 and 27, of athletic build, with dark brown hair, bushy eyebrows and blue eyes, the man always hid his face with a balaclava.
Victims all reported a chemical smell on his clothing and said despite the disgraceful activity, he was a polite rapist who apologised to the women.
“All the victims described him exactly the same, he was well spoken with a soft voice,” he said. “But everything he did was the opposite. It was cold-blooded and evil.”
A special taskforce was set up at Tweed Heads but the Balaclava Killer would attack only once one more time before disappearing forever.
December 8, 1980: A police dummy displayed on the Gold Coast dressed as the Tweed Heads murderer and rapist the Balaclava Killer who was active between 1976 to early 1980s.

The lead investigator said he had no doubt the killer/rapist was in jail for other crimes, statistically could be true, but maybe, just wishful thinking, imo.
This perp would be in his earlier sixties today, still out there, waiting to be caught!
