MARGARET TAPP

8 August 1984
SEANA TAPP (9)
Murdered in their home in Ferntree Gully, VIC.
Margaret had been bashed and strangled. Seana had been raped and strangled.
The killer's semen was found on Seana's clothing. In July 2008 police arrested and charged 43 year old Russell John Gesah with the murders based on DNA evidence.
2 weeks later the charges were dropped when it was discovered that the DNA evidence was contaminated.
The killer's DNA still has not been matched.
