Overview

  • Murdoch died of terminal laryngeal cancer at 67 in the palliative unit of an Alice Springs hospital while serving a life sentence.
  • He was convicted in 2005 for the 2001 murder of British backpacker Peter Falconio and the attempted abduction of Joanne Lees.
  • The body of 28-year-old Falconio has never been found and authorities doubled their reward to AUD 500,000 in June 2025 for information on its whereabouts.
  • Falconio’s family, including his father Luciano, continues to seek closure as police vow to pursue any leads despite Murdoch’s silence.
  • The case inspired Joanne Lees’s 2006 memoir and influenced the film “Wolf Creek,” ensuring ongoing public focus on the unresolved disappearance.
