The Truro murders was the name given to the findings of the remains of seven young women in bushland near the town of Truro, South Australia in 1976 - 1977.

On April 25, 1978, William Thomas (a former VFL footballer) found what he thought was the bone from the leg of a cow whilst mushrooming in bushland near Truro. Upon closer inspection he noted the bone had a shoe attached and inside the shoe was human skin and painted toenails. Clothes, blood, and more bones were found nearby. The dead woman was later identified to be Veronica Knight, an 18 year old girl who vanished from an Adelaide street.
