2020, after seven months of hearings and evidence from more than 200 witnesses. Justice Hall then retired to consider his verdict in the case, flagging that it may potentially be handed down before Edwards's remand in custody ends on 24 September 2020. On the final day of custody, Hall handed down a 619-page written verdict within which Edwards was found guilty of the murders of Rimmer and Glennon, but not of Spiers (though it was "more likely" that Edwards was involved in her disappearance than not). On 23 December 2020, Edwards was sentenced to life imprisonment with the possibility of a parole after 40 years. Hall said there was a "high likelihood" that he will die in prison.

He contended that police had told the father of a fourth missing woman, 22-year-old Julie Leanne Cutler, that his daughter was probably a victim of the Claremont killer. Cutler was employed on the evening of 19 June 1988, at the Perth Parmelia Hilton Hotel on 14 Mill Street. After her work was over, she went to Julianna's nightclub, a section of the Parmelia Hilton, for a staff awards event. Cutler and a female co-worker exited the event and made their way together to the hotel's employee parking lot. The co-worker observed Cutler bending into her car's open front passenger side door. It is believed that Cutler went back inside the hotel to continue the event until it was over, at which point she left via her car. The Fiat automobile was last spotted leaving Mill Street and heading towards Mounts Bay Road. Cutler did not make it home to Fremantle that evening, and she also did not show up for her scheduled shift at the hotel later that day. On the morning of 21 June 1988, Cutler's flatmate filed a missing person's report. Her car was found in the surf near the groyne at Cottesloe Beach two days later, and her fate remains unknown. Other possible cases include that of Lisa Jane Brown, 19, a sex worker who disappeared in 1998. On 10 November 1998, at about 12.30 am, Brown was spotted in Perth going west on Brisbane Street towards Palmerston Street. She had not been since. Another case is that of Sarah Anne McMahon, 20, who disappeared in 2000. On 8 November 2000, McMahon
