Outback true crime: Gold prospector’s mysterious murder | 60 Minutes Australia
At more than 130 000 hectares, Palmerville Station in Far North Queensland is a massive cattle property. In area it is larger than all of Hong Kong. It’s also, arguably, Australia’s biggest crime scene. Thirteen years ago, 48-year-old gold prospector Bruce Schuler was gunned down on Palmerville. Husband and wife station owners, Stephen Struber and Dianne Wilson, were convicted of his murder and imprisoned. But now there are growing claims of a miscarriage of justice. Supporters of the killer couple want to know how they can be guilty when the victim’s body has never been found and there is no DNA evidence linking them to the crime. As Dimity Clancey reports, on the other side of this confounding case Bruce Schuler’s distraught family are in no doubt the right people are behind bars. They’re demanding Wilson and Struber finally take responsibility for their actions, and reveal where they dumped the body of the good man they ruthlessly murdered.
