...along the Sepik River. Dubbed the Amazon of the Pacific, the river writhes and loops 1,100 km from the country's heart through some of the wildest and most inaccessible terrain on earth. Cutting through mountain ranges, international borders, steamy jungles, swamps, lakes and flood plains, the Sepik monster nurtures some of p.n.g.'s most ancient tribes, who still live in tiny stilt huts and brave the river's treacherous currents, and large saltwater crocodiles, in their slender carved canoes...

One film was being made last summer when the latest victims were killed. The movie crew went to the site of the crime and filmed new scenes to update the story. Officials fear that the movies will encourage copycat murders at a time when the police have their hands full dealing with the original killer. --By John Moody. Reported by Walter Galling/Florence
