Operation Charlie-Vine was commenced to investigate the disappearance and murder of 26-year-old Nina Lee Lewis in 2004. Detective Senior Sergeant Tom Armitt, from the Criminal Investigation Branch will detail the initial missing person report, the discovery of her ransacked Leichhardt (Ipswich) home which was also drenched from an overflowing bathtub, and valuables left in plain sight and untouched.
With footprints in washing powder, to hay inside a vehicle, to a missing metalwork hammer, the circumstances surrounding this case were bizarre and police asked members of the public to come forward, or anonymously via Crime Stoppers, with any information witnessed. A door-knock of the neighbourhood located many residents able to recollect sightings of Nina, her vehicle, and / or the state of her house, from the position of the garage door to the window lighting at night.
Consider attending this fascinating presentation to see how serious crime is solved by team work and dogged persistence. The one-and-a-half-hour lecture by Detective Senior Sergeant Tom Armitt commences at 11:00am on Sunday, May 27 and will be both informative and educational. *Warning* – attendees are advised that some of the content contains obscene language as provided by a witness.
