Cold case justice: Sydney’s Night Stalker rapist finally caught

After more than 30 years, Glenn Gary Cameron, known as Sydney’s “Night Stalker,” has pleaded guilty to 13 sexual assault charges committed in the early 1990s.

NSW police solved the case using advanced DNA technology. Evidence from four victims was linked to Cameron through a familial match with his daughter. Police then discreetly collected his DNA from a beer glass and fork at Sydney International Airport, confirming the match and leading to his arrest.

Cameron, now 61, had lived a seemingly ordinary life while evading justice, working at a funeral parlour and raising a family. He is scheduled to be sentenced in October 2025.

This case demonstrates the growing role of forensic science in criminal investigations. Even decades-old cases can be reopened and solved, showing that serious crimes are never truly forgotten.
