Keyra Steinhardt

 

On April 22, 1999, 9-year-old Keyra Steinhardt disappeared when she was taking a shortcut through a vacant lot on her way home from school. An eye witness to the abduction told police that she saw a man catch up with the little girl and hit her from behind in the head area. Keyra's body was later found near the Rockhampton racecourse. In May of the same year a man was charged with Keyra's murder.
