What if Mr. Cruel didn't escape or just disappear? What if he died? In 2004, a notorious Australian armed robber named
00:00:07
Alfie Gay told a homicide detective that he knew who killed Carmen Chan. He named
00:00:12
a man, Norman Lee, who was known as Normie. According to Alfie, Normie had a fetish for school uniforms, lived near
00:00:19
Lower Plenty, where one of the early attacks happened, and owned a dim sum factory near the airport, the same area
00:00:26
that police narrowed down using flight paths from victim accounts. And Carmen Chan's grave? Right between where Normie
00:00:34
lived and worked. Now, here's the twist. In July 1992, just over a year after Carmen disappeared, Normie was killed in
00:00:42
a police chase during another armed robbery. And after that, the Mr. Cruel attacks seemed to have stopped. Now, all
00:00:50
of this is circumstantial. Normie was never charged in connection to Mr. Cruel. Police never officially named him
00:00:55
a suspect. But, coincidence? Or did Mr. Cruel die with Normie Lee?
