Description

On the night of Friday August 13th, 1976, a room service attendant knocked on room 1205 of a Brisbane hotel and spent 20 seconds looking at a man police would not name for another 43 years. Not long after she left, guests on that floor heard a disturbance. Nobody knocked. The man inside stayed alive for hours and nobody came. A 46-year-old motel manager from Bowen had come to Brisbane for a doctor's appointment and the Ekka. He never checked out. The man who walked out of that room went home to regional Queensland, buried a camera, and lived an ordinary life for four decades until DNA taken from a hotel room in 1976 finally matched a 69-year-old man living in Bundaberg.
