In April, 1999, schoolgirl Keyra Steinhardt was bashed, raped and murdered in a brazen daylight attack as she walked home from school in the central Queensland town of Rockhampton. The disappearance of Keyra made international headlines as the community and law enforcement officers hunted for the nine-year-old. No one uttered it out loud, but everyone knew they were searching for a body. When her killer, Leonard Fraser, finally led them to her two weeks later, it was the catalyst that went on to expose him as a murderous sexual predator. In 2000 he was found guilty of Keyra's murder. In 2003, he was tried in the Bribane Supreme Court for the murders of three women and a teenage girl in Rockhampton between December 1998 and April 1999. During the trial teenager Natasha Ryan was found alive hiding in the cupboard of her boyfriend's Rockhampton home - her emergence presented an intriguing twist in the story of this brutal and cunning killer.He was convicted for the murder of Beverley Leggo and Sylvia Benedetti and the manslaughter of Julie Dawn Turner. Fraser is a suspect in up to eight unsolved disappearances of women in Queensland and NSW, although no remains have been found. He was serving four indefinite life sentences until his death on New Year's Day 2007 when he died of a heart attack in a Brisbane prison hospital.

Softcover / Paperback. Condición: Fine. First edition. Softcover. Thursday 22 April 1999 started normally for Fraser. For him, rape, sodomy and murder were like making a cup of coffee - easy, natural and addictive. Nine year old schoolgirl Keyra Steinhardt was bashed, raped and murdered in a brazen daylight attack as she walked home from school in the central Queensland town of Rockhampton. This murder was the catalyst that exposed Leonard Fraser as a murderous sexual predator with a criminal history spanning more than 30yrs. The author covered Fraser's story from the day Keyra went missing. While on trial for murder, the court heard how Fraser had bragged to a fellow prisoner about murdering Natasha Ryan, whose body had never been found. A few days later, Natasha turned up in court, very much alive, a bizarre twist in the story of a brutal and cunning killer. Deemed unable to be rehabilitated, Fraser is serving 4 indefinite life sentences. This is a chilling portrait of a remorseless killer. Illus. in colour. 316pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Tiny mk. to fore-edge o/w F. with no creasing to covers. Nº de ref. del artículo: 16464
