In the 1890s, a mysterious man arrived in Sydney. Having many aliases, the main one he used was Frank Butler. After a long criminal past, he headed for Sydney with a stolen Mining Engineers Certificate. Rather than prospecting for gold, Butler thought murdering his companions would be a faster and more lucrative venture. Three prospectors were killed, buried in shallow graves and their belongings stolen. Assuming the identity of his last victim, "Lee Weller," Butler obtained a job on the Swanhilda, leaving on the 23rd November,1896, bound for San Francisco.
John Roche of the New South Wales Police force, shot to prominence after traveling halfway around the world, in the other direction from Butler (via London and New York, and then overland to the West Coast of the US) in 1894 by catching Frank Butler, as he got off a ship in San Francisco. Frank Butler was tried and convicted of three murders, but hinted at many more, and was hanged in 1897.

What movie did adrien brody play a serial killer?
In the Dario Argenta Movie "Giallo" Adrian Brody plays a dual role as both the FBI agent looking for the serial killer whose skin is yellow or giallo in Italian and the serial killer. It's a cool movie I thought in spite of the dramas associated it.
