BLACK Widow Robyn Lindholm is a prime suspect in a cold-case probe into the murder of an underworld lover.
The Herald Sun can reveal Lindholm, who last month pleaded guilty to murdering her boyfriend, Wayne Amey, may have killed before.
Lindholm, 41, is yet to be sentenced for seducing an infatuated Torsten Trabert, 45, and another man, John Anthony Ryan, 37, to kill for her.
Mr Amey, 54, died a day before he and Lindholm were due in court in a property case.
Trabert and Ryan bashed, stabbed and strangled Mr Amey in the carpark of his Hawthorn apartment complex on December 10, 2013.
The trio then drove his body to Mt Korong, near Bendigo, and wedged it between boulders.
Trabert and Ryan were on Friday found guilty of murder by a Supreme Court jury.
Lindholm pleaded guilty after two of her ex-lovers gave evidence she used intense sexual relationships as a ploy to persuade them to kill Mr Amey so she could keep a coastal farm at Bittern, valued at more than $1 million.
One of them, Aaron Ardley, said he had begun training to kill Mr Amey before he suffered a brain injury in a car crash in January 2013.
Victoria Police’s cold case unit has unearthed new information on the May 2005 disappearance of weapons and drugs dealer George Teazis.
Teazis vanished after leaving his Reservoir home and texting Lindholm.
The Herald Sun has confirmed both Lindholm and Mr Amey were investigated over Teazis’s disappearance and were questioned by police.
Neither was charged, and several other people are suspected to have had a role in his disappearance.
Detectives are understood to be confident that changes in relationships and circumstances over the past decade will result in possible witnesses being more willing to come forward.
Before Teazis vanished, Lindholm was alleged to have complained to Mr Amey that her fiance (Teazis) had been beating her, tied her up, and put a gun to her head.
Lindholm also bragged about having dated gangster Alphonse Gangitano, telling associates she fell pregnant to him. Gangitano was murdered in 1998.
It is understood investigators now have a better understanding of how Teazis met his demise.
They are also on the hunt for new evidence in the death of an exotic dancer, Shari Davison, to whose 1995 disappearance Teazis had been linked.
Teazis, a one-time member of a Richmond-based gang involved in amphetamines and weapons trading dubbed the “plastic gangsters’’, was named at the inquest on Ms Davison.
Ms Davison had been living with another member of Teazis’s gang, and had been featured on the same strippers’ website as Lindholm.
A decade later — when Teazis himself vanished — Lindholm made a tearful public plea for information to help find him, while she moved in with Mr Amey.
For the next eight years, Mr Amey lived with speculation he had killed and disposed of Teazis, who was also known as George Templeton.
He always denied any knowledge of what happened to Teazis.
At the end of that eight years, after Mr Amey’s relationship with Lindholm soured, she attempted to convince two men to kill him.
She then attracted two new lovers — Ryan and Trabert — into her web of drugs and sex, and inveigled them into a murder plot.
