  • Retired detective Gordon Davie guides us on a chilling journey into the mind of notorious child murderer James Ryan O'Neill who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of two young boys after arriving in Tasmania in 1975. He is Tasmania's longest-serving prisoner for a single offence.
    Twenty-seven years later, Davie was curious to know the circumstances that led to a good-looking, intelligent young man spending so long in prison. He also wanted to investigate the links between a number of other possible murders and abductions that raise frightening questions about O'Neill's past activities. Over the course of three years Davie and O'Neill built a relationship aided by their shared love of fishing and hunting. Davie takes O'Neill through the story of his life. It is clear that James O'Neill is no ordinary prisoner. He is softly spoken, eloquent and obviously well educated.
    This film holds up a torch to a world so dark that most of us can’t even begin to comprehend and poses the question that many of us are reluctant to ask: What does a killer really look like?

    I too am confused about his living arrangements and wonder what I am missing. If he is a prisoner but gets to live in a provided home, on a farm, free-ish???? How’s that work??? If this is how Australia treats its worst criminals, all us old folks struggling on social security need to move there and commit a crime. And if he’s out of prison, then Australia has got some splaining to do. THAT DOG RUNNING STIFF-LEGGED is adorable.....I don’t think I’m mistaken in that it belongs to the killer?????another perk? Btw...he remembers every single thing. You can see it when he cuts his eyes slightly and looks down every time he says it. And he DOES love being the center of this movie.

      I know right. I have seen hundreds at this point but this one is a little different. I think it is how it is presented with such calm voices and pacing. I really like the close up of the dudes face while he was being asked the questions so we could see his facial expressions as he internalized the question and got ready to answer. They usually show the person's face who is asking the questions not the listener. I liked it.

      @Jinn Jinn they may want to look more closely at the victims, if that's the case. Hasn't it been proven that a majority of victims grow up to be abusers?
      I think studying the victims to see what percentage grow up normally, as opposed to abusers, would be equally as valuable, if not more so. The researchers would gain insight as to what additional factors, besides abuse, determines who becomes an abuser, and who doesn't.
      They could follow these victims till they became adults, that's years of research material. That could be the insight they so desperately need, plus they might be able to nip a potential serial killer in the bud with proper treatment.

      I think you will find most Western governments (apart from the USA), have this softly softly approach when it comes to heinous criminals. They always ignore the victims, hand out incredibly lenient sentences, it is pathetic. The families of the London Bridge terrorist attacks have been denied legal aid, yet the brother accomplice of Salman Abedi has been granted it (Manchester Arena bombing terrorist attack, killed children). Governments and judges obviously have a hard on for psychopaths, the more heinous your crime the better. It disgusts me, corrupt to the core. Bring back the death penalty for one's like this man I say. Race has nothing to do with it, they are just not interested in justice anymore, more scared to look inhumane for christ's sake. They have their priorities all wrong.

Truthfully: he's a good example of a kid who grew up getting everything he wanted....and he became a no-good adult that manipulated people and did exactly what he wanted to with no constraints on him at all.....and he never was held accountable for the things he does by ANYBODY. Damned Trumpies: you couldn't tell them a darned thing.....the just refused to hear any of it.

    First impressions..
    That woman is old, recalling something in 1962.
    When I was just 9..
    There was no need for her to cry, it was years ago,
    but she did.
    She was frightened, looked to a friend for help.
    None was forthcoming..
    Classical PTSD or survivor guilt.
    I truly hope she married, had kids, lots.
    Christmases, birthdays and more love,
    than lard on bread..

Regarding the Beaumont kids, if I remember correctly, I think that Grant or Arnna had told their parents that Jane had a "boyfriend" at the beach. Maybe little Jane had a crush on this older boy they had met, and Jim had sort of led Jane to believe they were "boyfriend" and "girlfriend."

      Its his mask of sanity, to borrow a coined term. I think, when he is engaged in doing something he finds pleasurable, you would see strong emotion displayed. Given the probable context of such a scenario though i'd think that wouldn't be something that anybody would want to see. Sometimes a mask can be a blessed relief. Still, his peepers creep through the eye-slits, and they shine with an utterly egocentric cunning. Very, very creepy.

    Casualties of world wars don't remain in the sphere of actual deaths in the field but also in the
    lasting devastation to the participants who just had to be there. Stories within my own family of
    violence and abuse committed by members of family who were there to others after the war tell me this.
    This is predominately because there was no real recognition of PTSD.
    I believe this guy suffered outstanding violence and abuse as a child this is borne out by many killers of
    his type and of course the casualties of war remain higher than the ones in print.

      This is what we call a Half Way house in the US. He did time in a regular prison, then the last few years of his sentence is at a place like this. This is intended to get people used to being out of prison.
      I am a forensic psych in the US & most states here require various different education/counseling and drug programs while inmates are at a Halfway House. I am not sure exactly what Australia does but around 2005-1010 they were sending lots of psychologists to do fellowships in the US to learn how we set up our programming (counseling/drug programs etc)
      They generally have little security but if they abscond, they go back to a regular prison when caught. It's actually fairly rare for people to escape, we call it "walking off" from a Halfway House. There is really no motivation for them to walk off. They are generally at the end of a long sentence, they are given notable freedom but don't have to worry about making a living. Basically, it's a comfortable place. Much better than prison, shielded from the stresses of real life.
