Tiahleigh was, at the time of her murder, in foster care with the Thorburn family on their isolated rural property near Brisbane.
Instead of being placed. in what to the outside world was a perfect foster family, Tiahleigh was thrust into a house of horrors. She was sexually abused by the family’s teenage son and then murdered by her foster father.
This case tells of lies, control and cover up by the family and the loss of an innocent 12-year-old girl.
