This episode delves into the chilling saga of the infamous Milat family, who continue to back Ivan Milat, Australia's most infamous serial killer. The family's dynamics reveal deep-seated problems. Reports suggest that Boris, Ivan's brother, suspected his wife Marilyn of having an affair with Ivan, believing she might be pregnant with his child. After confiding in their father, Boris was urged to eliminate Ivan. He characterizes Ivan as soulless and a lifelong psychopath with an obsession for firearms. Boris's revelations ignite a family dispute, resulting in threats against him. Meanwhile, Carolyn Milat defends Ivan's authenticity, contrasting with Bill Milat's harsh stance, stating that if Ivan is guilty, he deserves the death penalty.
