Who Killed Leanne Holland?
34:53 Share

On the eastern edge of the city of Ipswich in Queensland, lies a small suburb named Goodna. 

About 20 kilometres from the Brisbane central business district, Goodna is peppered with Jacaranda, Hoop Pine, and Mango trees, and boasts numerous parks which are frequented by the public.

It was the 26th of September - a spring day - at 1:42pm when two police were stopped in their tracks. 

They had been searching the bushland on Redbank Plains Road after a young girl, 12-year-old Leanne Holland, had been reported missing by her family a few days before. 

The officers spotted a partly unclothed, shoeless body. One that would come to be identified as the blonde-haired, round-faced, Leanne. 

What had happened to her? And who was responsible? 

Police already had a suspect. One man. 

But, as we’d come to find out, there were a handful of problems.
