Killer's final police interview footage released
Australian police have released bodycam footage of an interview with convicted murderer Bradley Murdoch, who died in prison without revealing the location of Peter Falconio's body. The release coincides with the 25th anniversary of the 2001 disappearance of the British backpacker.
Why it matters
The footage highlights the ongoing struggle for closure in high-profile cold cases and the limitations of justice when perpetrators refuse to cooperate.

Police in Australia have released bodycam footage of an interview with the man who murdered British backpacker Peter Falconio - as they tried to get him to reveal the location of the body.
Falconio, from Huddersfield, was shot dead on a remote stretch of highway near the Northern Territory town of Barrow Creek, about 186 miles (300km) north of Alice Springs in July 2001.
Killer Bradley Murdoch, 67, died in jail last year with throat cancer without disclosing where his remains might be.
The footage was released by Northern Territory police ahead of the 25th anniversary of his disappearance, with the force saying it "remains committed to bringing this investigation to its fullest conclusion".
