Relatives of victims from the 'The Family' serial killings in South Australia are pushing for the release of the names of suspects linked to the case, which have remained suppressed for over 80 years. Five young males were murdered between 1979 and 1983, with police linking the crimes to a group called 'The Family.' Robyn Barnes, sister of victim Alan Barnes, is leading a petition seeking public support to overturn suppression orders. She argues that public interest should override the secrecy, emphasizing that justice cannot be achieved through legal channels. Bevan Spencer von Einem, a convicted murderer linked to the case, died in prison in 2025 without cooperating with authorities. While the investigation remains open, a Supreme Court spokesperson noted that petitions are not required for courts to consider revoking suppression orders.
