"Confession" Sketch
Days before Glover finally committed suicide, he handed his last outside visitor a sketch of a park. Glover pointed out two palm trees. In the middle of the right palm tree, the number "nine" could be seen between leaves and branches. The number nine is said to either represent the total number of murders or the number of unsolved murders committed by Glover.
Unsolved murders that may have been committed by Glover include::
- Emmie May Anderson, 78, East Melbourne (19 October 1961)
- Irene Kiddle, 61, St Kilda (22 March 1963)
- Elsie Boyes, 63, Prahran (3 June 1967)
- Christina Yankos, 63, Albert Park (9 April 1968)
- Florence Broadhurst, 78, Paddington (16 October 1977)
- Josephine McDonald, 72, Ettalong (29 August 1984)
- Wanda Amundsen, 83, Umina (21 November 1986)

Famous quotes containing the words confession and/or sketch:
“There is no refuge from confession but suicide, and suicide is confession.”
—Daniel Webster (1782–1852)

To sketch a face that well might buy the soul of any man.
Then, as he placed another lock upon the shapely head,
With a fearful shriek, he leaped and fell across the
picture—dead.”
