Margaret Tapp, a 35-year-old nurse, and her nine-year-old daughter, Seana Tapp, were murdered on 7 August 1984 when an unknown assailant broke into their home in Ferntree Gully, a suburb of Melbourne, in the Australian state of Victoria.[1] The assailant strangled Margaret to death before going on to kill Seana. Semen was found on Seana's nightdress; police stated that she had been sexually molested.[1] Both had been strangled with rope.[2] Several suspects were subsequently cleared by DNA testing.[1] In 2015 investigators reopened the case in a cold case review.[3]
