Remembering Ciara

Published: March 14, 2020, 1:58 a.m.

March 14, 1997 was a day like any other. 27-year-old Ciara Glennon, having only just arrived back in Australia from travelling the world, was drinking with colleagues. The lawyer had been back at work for a week, her colleagues wanted to celebrate that, and being a Friday, they decided to have a few drinks, then hit the town. But Ciara didn’t want to, she wanted to go home to be with her family before her sister’s hens the next day. She was eventually convinced to go out to Claremont - a fateful decision which would see her become the third victim of a serial killer. She disappeared that night. Several people would later say they saw someone matching her description walking along Stirling Highway just after midnight, some seeing her leaning into the passenger side window of a white station wagon. That was the last time anyone saw her alive. Her body was found 19 days later in bushland, 40 km north of Perth. Today on this bonus episode of Claremont in Conversation, we remember Ciara Glennon, the loving, family-oriented, hard working lawyer. We look into not only how much she is missed by her family, but the vital clues she left behind as she fought for her life, which could be the key to determine whether Bradley Robert Edwards is the Claremont Serial Killer.
