Ross Warren was a gay Australian journalist for WIN TV who was killed as part of the Gay Gang Murders on 22 July 1989.[1] Having disappeared after a night out with friends on Oxford Street,[2] Warren's car was discovered outside Marks Park, Sydney, a popular gay beat, and his car keys two days later at the bottom of the adjoining cliffs.[3] Police initially theorized that Warren had faked his own disappearance, concluding after four days that he had accidentally fallen into the sea.[4] A search was undertaken,[5][6] however his body was never recovered.[7] In 2005, the case was recategorised as a homicide, the previous investigation being described as "grossly inadequate" and "shameful" by then-deputy coroner Jacqueline Milledge.[8] Today his murder is seen as one of many slayings and hate-crimes committed on the cliffs of Marks Park[9] in the 1980s and 90s.[10][11] His name is listed on a memorial to the victims of these crimes located at the site.[12]
