The man accused of murdering schoolgirl Charlise Mutten allegedly sent a string of violent voicemails to her mother, threatening to kill her if she didn’t return his car to him. Justin Laurens Stein, 33, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Charlise on, or about, January 12, 2022, at Mount Wilson, in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. The nine-year-old was found dead inside a barrel with two gunshot wounds, to her head and lower back, after an intensive four-day search of the area.
images captured of the trip showed Stein towing a boat, with what prosecutors allege is a barrel containing Charlise’s body in the back tray of his ute. Phone data and footage tracked Stein’s movements for close to eight hours, before the data showed he returned to the Blue Mountains near the Colo River, stopping at two locations for roughly five minutes each. At one of the locations, detectives found traces of sand and scrape marks and were able to visually locate the barrel with Charlise’s body down a steep hill towards the river. Soon after Stein returned from allegedly dumping Charlise’s body, Mutten called triple-0 to report the girl missing.
