Graham Stafford: Australia: Bulletin; (Reporter Kathy Sondstrum; Queensland Times; 12 March, 2017) He continues to assert his innocence in the murder of Leanne Holland in spite of a recently produced extensive review... "The 500-page review, obtained by the 7 network, detailed how new technology found Leanne's blood "projected" high up in her shower and in the boot of Mr Stafford's car. It also confirmed a maggot found in his car boot matched those found on Leanne's body and imprints on her buttock and thigh exactly matched the mat in the boot of his type of car. And crucially, police had evidence which showed Leanne was part way through dyeing her hair when "the process inexplicably ceased". Mr Stafford has always said Leanne left home to buy hair dye and never returned."..."I have unequivocally denied laying a finger (on Leanne) since day one," Mr Stafford said. He said it would be crazy for him to be pursuing for an investigation if he was guilty. "My conviction was quashed in 2009. If, in any way shape or form, I was guilty I would have laid it to rest. "I'll be watching the program closely to consider legal option." Yahoo 7 printed a statement from Mr Stafford's on its website in which he said he spent hours reading the review which didn't discredit evidence, used by Justice Holmes in 2009, which "completely demolished the theory Leanne Holland was killed at her Goodna home."

"Graham Stafford has maintained his innocence despite damning new evidence as to who killed 12-year-old Leanne Holland 26 years ago. Channel 7s Murder Uncovered revealed the findings of never seen before police review on its Wednesday night's program. And the findings suggest there was only one man who could have killed the Goodna schoolgirl. Mr Stafford was convicted of Leanne's murder and given a life sentence in 1992. But In 2006 after nearly 15 years behind bars, he was released on parole amidst questions about the investigation. The conviction was quashed in 2009, but Mr Stafford, who lives on the Sunshine Coast, continued his call for the case to be reopened to find Leanne's killer. The 500-page review, obtained by the 7 network, detailed how new technology found Leanne's blood "projected" high up in her shower and in the boot of Mr Stafford's car. It also confirmed a maggot found in his car boot matched those found on Leanne's body and imprints on her buttock and thigh exactly matched the mat in the boot of his type of car. And crucially, police had evidence which showed Leanne was part way through dyeing her hair when "the process inexplicably ceased". Mr Stafford has always said Leanne left home to buy hair dye and never returned. Mr Stafford told the Daily he had been trying to get his hands on the review for years. "They are hauling stuff out of a review I spent five years trying to get hold of," Mr Stafford said. "I was told I couldn't have it because of legal privilege. It has been so long people forget there wouldn't have been a review if I hadn't pushed for it.".........The review appeared to eliminate all 16 suspects, except Mr Stafford........."I have unequivocally denied laying a finger (on Leanne) since day one," Mr Stafford said. He said it would be crazy for him to be pursuing for an investigation if he was guilty." My conviction was quashed in 2009. If, in any way shape or form, I was guilty I would have laid it to rest.
