Australia

Australia is a country located on a continent of the same name, just below Southeast Asia. Once a penal colony for the British Empire, it has long since become a popular vacation spot due to its warm weather and preponderance of beaches. The famous late wildlife expert Steve Irwin, the "Crocodile Hunter", hailed from Australia.

Nicole Wallace

Nicole Wallace was originally from Australia, and murdered fellow resident Elizabeth Hitchens in order to steal her identity and flee the country to avoid being charged for her daughter Hannah's murder. (CI: "Anti-Thesis", "Grow") Before the events in 1985, as a young woman, she would later travel on to Thailand, where she met another sociopath, Bernard Fremont, with whom she would embark on a crime spree that left eight people dead, before the two of them were locked up in 1988. (CI: "Slither") They went their separate ways after that and Wallace returned to Australia.

In 1996, there was an outbreak of Anthrax in Victoria. Nicole Wallace received the vaccine, while Elizabeth Hitchens did not (which is to be expected, since Hitchens was dead.) A year later, Wallace met Dr. Daniel Croydon, an American pathologist who'd come to Australia to study the anthrax outbreak's effect on the local sheep population. (CI: "A Person of Interest")

In 1997, Nicole gives birth to her daughter Hannah June Bartlett with her lover Rohan Bartlett, whom she would later murdered three years later at the age of three in 2000 of the waters off of Stradbroke Island. Her body was not found until a year later in 2001; the evidence suggests foul play, Nicole had decided to leave Australia to avoid being charged, after she killed the real Elizabeth Hitchens and stole her Identity. (CI: "Great Barrier")

Nicole Wallace would later have a long criminal career in New York City, where she would become a frequent and enthusiastic adversary of NYPD Detective Robert Goren.

In 2008, Nicole was supposedly murdered by Goren's mentor Declan Gage, who cut her heart out after manipulating her to murder Goren's brother, Frank Goren. Her last words were "Tell Bobby he was the only man I ever loved.", meaning Goren. (CI: "Frame")

In 2013, Nicole would later resurfaced in Paris with a new alias: Madeleine Haynes and she begin her crime spree there. (Jo: "Catacombs").
