Australian True Crime
Shortcut: Do Not Approach Keith Lees
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.
*We would also like to remind our listeners that, while Keith Lees has been convicted of one homicide, he has not been convicted of any others. The following episode contains personal views and reflections from those affected by this case and should not be taken as evidence of his guilt or innocence.
