CCTV," the security camera recording of Melbourne woman Jill Meagher's last minutes alive, registered more than 677,000 views on YouTube by early 2014. Little happens for most of its 232 seconds and, as would be expected with surveillance footage, there is no sound. In Australia, "Jill Meagher CCTV" forms part of a haunting iconography of a rape and murder victim that not only resonates with fictional narratives in other places, but also influences the way the Jill Meagher story, as a whole, is read. As Melissa Jane Hardie (2010) suggests of the "true crime" story (citing Bronski 2005, 29), the public reaction to high profile stories of violent crime "is often an emblematic cultural citation that represents a social problem or fixation." This article considers "Jill Meagher CCTV" as such a cultural citation and goes further by highlighting its gothic tendencies. Highlighting the gothic aspects of "Jill Meagher CCTV" resonates with surrounding narratives of violence and gender justice, which have material consequences for women in the way that the most prevalent forms of violence against women continue to be downplayed in those narratives.
