THE savage murder of Monica Schofield happened early in Peter Cox’s detective career but it would haunt him forever.
Monica was just 12 years old, an intelligent student who had just topped her high school exams in the middle of 1963.
Regarded by her friends and family as polite and unselfish, she loved animals.
In her brown school case, which had her name written inside the lid, she had a copy of Joy Adamson’s book, Born Free.
Deadmans Creek was just off Heathcote Road in the southwestern Sydney suburb of East Hills.
A few kilometres along the same road was the East Hills Migrant Hostel, where Monica lived with her parents and younger brother.
The Schofields had sailed to Australia on the “ten pound migration scheme” in the early 1960s, and lived at the hostel on the edge of a kilometre of wasteland known as “the desert”.
Like other migrant children at the hostel, Monica would have to cross the “desert” and then walk along a narrow bush track and a footbridge to attend East Hills High School.
It was a Monday morning — June 17, 1963 — that Monica was walking to school unaware it was her last day alive.
