Shirree was fatally stabbed in June 1993 at Oaklands Park, SA after a night out
with friends. A petty criminal and convicted sex
offender was charged but acquitted of her murder. Shirree's father launched a
civil action suit against this man but it was abandoned on the first day of the
trial. In December 2007 the man suspected of murdering Shirree killed his
partner then took his own life.

Shirree Ann Turner, 22, was fatally stabbed at
an Oaklands Park reserve in the early hours of Sunday, June 6,
1993. Two girlfriends told detectives they last saw Shirree in
the Charles Sturt Tavern, in Hindley St, about 10.30pm on
Saturday, June 5.
The friends went off to dance, leaving Shirree
holding their handbags. When they returned, she was gone.
Witnesses told detectives she had been in Hindley St and Rundle
Mall until 3.10am on Sunday, June 6.
At 7.50am her body, was found at the front
door of a house in Minchinbury Tce, Marion.

but stalled – despite the State Government offering a reward of
$100,00 for information.
