On July 4, 1972, Robin Jeanne Hoinville-Bartram left Melbourne in company with Anita Cunningham for a hitchhiking holiday to visit her mother in Bowen.
On 15 November 1972, Hoinville-Bartram's remains were located in Sensible Creek under a bridge on the Flinders Highway, approximately 80 kilometers west of Charters Towers. She had been sexually assaulted and shot in the head with a .22 caliber rifle. No trace of Anita Cunningham has been found.
Hoinville-Bartram and Cunningham were two of seven female hitchhikers who were killed in Queensland between 1972 and 1976. Police have not ruled out that the women may have been the victims of a serial killer. Information indicated the pair, who began their journey from NSW's Hume Highway, had gone to Darwin before traveling to Mount Isa.
