This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

Keith Lees is a very dangerous man who is living somewhere in Australia, and is sought by police across two states for the 1997 murder of Meaghan Louise Rose.

He's probably living under an assumed name. He may have stolen someone else's identity and he definitely should not be approached or confronted.

In this part one of our story, we hear from one of the children of Keith Lees, Wren Dawnsong. Wren was living with Keith when he murdered Barry Waters, for which he was convicted and served prison time.

Wren was also living with her father when Keith's then partner, Meaghan Louise Rose, was found dead at the foot of a cliff on the Sunshine Coast on July 18th, 1997.

In part two of this series, we will be speaking with Meaghan's sister. That episode will be available later this week. ATC Plus subscribers will get early and ad-free access.

At about 12:30pm on the 9th of November,1984, Lesley Larkin was found lying naked and unconscious across a mattress in her unit in Noosa Heads.

She had suffered a severe head injury, and would later pass away in hospital.

Lesley was a beloved member of her community, and last month signalled 40 years since her murder. Despite more than 150 interviews conducted at the time, the motive for this crime has never been determined. No signs of robbery, no evidence of sexual assault, and no apparent forced entry.

On today's episode of Australian True Crime, our guest host and Criminologist Dr. Xanthe Mallett will be speaking with Lesley Larkin's sister, Juanita Wotherspoon.
