Welcome to our dive into the death of Meaghan Louise Rose.
This could easily be the plot of a Netflix thriller. A suspected suicide turned murder investigation, a beheading, a nationwide manhunt for an alleged killer who slipped through the police net & a half a million dollar reward for his capture.
When our victim Meaghan Rose died back in 1997, her death was initially found to be non-suspicious and was ruled a suicide. It wasn’t until last year in July 2023, 26 years later, that QLD police issued an arrest warrant in her case. With that arrest warrant this case doesn’t currently sit as a whodunit, but rather, a where-is-he?
As the subject of that warrant, 71 yr old Keith Lees, is on the run.
Despite his age, Lees is a convicted murderer and will continue to pose a very real danger to the Australian public, particularly women in the community, until such time as he is apprehended.
We are all responsible for finding him. If you recognise Lees, do NOT approach him. Call triple-0 immediately and notify police of his whereabouts.
The reward offered for for the apprehension & conviction of the person or person's responsible for Meaghan's suspected murder, is $500,000. There is also an indemnity from prosecution on the table for any accomplice to the crime.
If you or someone you know has information pertaining to the circumstances of Meaghan's death, please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
