Fraser returned to live in Mount Morgan, a mining town of 3500 residents on the Burnett Highway south east of Yeppoon and near Rockhampton. It didn't take long before the locals were talking about the strange man who had come to live in their quiet little hamlet.
An intellectually disabled woman complained to police that Fraser had annoyed her while she was riding on a bus. Fraser was seen roaming around the town at all hours of the night and every day when the local school came out he was waiting at the front gate where he would try and strike up a conversation with any female, irrespective of age, who passed in or out.
Fraser frequented employment agencies that serviced the intellectually handicapped in search of female partners and he mowed lawns and drove children to school for petrol and beer money. Toward the end of 1998, Fraser moved into a flat in Rockhampton, population 62,000, with intellectually handicapped 19-year-old Cristine Wraight.
By early April, 1999, another woman and her 11-year-old daughter moved into the spare room in the flat to help pay the rent. It didn't last long. Shortly after the woman moved out, accusing Fraser of interfering with her daughter.
Fraser was kicked out when the landlady caught him having sex with Wraight's blue heeler cattle dog in the backyard. The dog died several weeks later from rat poison.
