[2] The Belanglo State Forest is located south of Berrima in the Southern Highlands, three kilometres west of the Hume Highway between Sydney and Canberra.

[6] On 22 November 2010, three teenagers (including one related to Milat)[7] were arrested on suspicion of connection with the discovery of a murdered male in the forest, following a tip-off.

Media reports at first linked the killing to Milat, but later forensic work disproved this theory as the remains were left there after he was sent to prison.

[11] On 21 October 2015, the bones were identified as the body of Karlie Pearce-Stevenson, aged 22, from Alice Springs, Northern Territory.

The body of Pearce-Stevenson's daughter, Khandalyce Pearce, aged 2, was found in a suitcase near Wynarka, South Australia, on 14 July 2015.
