Robyn Lindholm

Robyn Jane Lindholm (born 8 March 1973) is an Australian former stripper and suspected serial killer. She has been convicted of murdering two former boyfriends, and is a person of interest in the case of Shari Davison, an exotic dancer who disappeared in 1995. She will be eligible for parole in 2049, at the age of 76.

Early life Lindholm attended Kilvington Grammar School and Monash University. As a teenager she was an accomplished ice skater, winning the Victorian Championship for ice-skating in 1986,

Shari Davison On February 18, 1995, Davison failed to show up for work. Three days later she was reported missing. She was 27 years old at the time of her disappearance. In 2020, the police confirmed they suspected Davison was murdered, and a reward of $1 million is offered for information regarding her disappearance.

Davison worked for the same stripper agency as Lindholm. She also lived with an associate of George Templeton.

Wayne Amey Lindholm met Wayne Amey, a father of five, in 2003 and started living with him in 2005. They both owned a rural property. Their relationship ended in 2010. In April 2012 she unlawfully gained access to his apartment, and consequently received a 12 months community corrections order. On 11 December 2013, Amey and Lindholm were due to appear in court regarding a property dispute. However neither appellant appeared. Amey was killed by Lindholm's boyfriend, Torsten Trabert and Tarbert's friend John Ryan. All three defendants regularly used methamphetamine. However Trabert and Ryan pleaded not guilty and blamed each other. They were subsequently convicted. Lindholm was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment, with a non-parole period of 21 years, Trabert 28 years with a non-parole period of 23 years, and Ryan 31 years, with a non-parole period of 26 years (Lindholm received leniency for pleading guilty and Trabert for providing the police with key information). Two weeks after Templeton's disappearance, she moved in with Amey and subsequently sold Templeton's cars and boat. Templeton's body has never been found, however bloodstains were found at his apartment. She reportedly told witnesses that his body had been disposed of in Port Phillip. Following her first murder conviction, the police renewed their investigation into Templeton's disappearance. The police discovered Lindholm had confessed to various people that her former partner had been murdered. Matilda Burke subsequently testified that Lindholm told her Amey had paid a friend to help him murder Templeton. She was sentenced to 28 years in prison, half of which is served concurrently with her original sentence, and half must be served in addition to her original sentence, meaning her maximum sentence is 39 years, with a non-parole period of 30 years.

Appeals In 2016, Lindholm, Ryan and Trabert, appealed against their sentences for the murder of Mr. Amey arguing manifest excess. Ryan and Trabert also appealed on the grounds that they had received differing sentences. These appeals were dismissed by the Supreme Court of Victoria. Her lawyer argued that the Crown's case against her included inadmissible evidence; although the judges accepted this, they concluded nonetheless there was "a substantial body of admissible evidence."

Media coverage Lindholm has been featured in an episode of Homicide with Ron Iddles.
