Tiahleigh Alyssa Rose Palmer, sometimes nicknamed Tia or Tiah, was a 12-year-old Australian schoolgirl who lived in Logan.[1]
Early life
Palmer was born in either 2002 or 2003. Cyndi Palmer was her mother. At some point, she was taken into foster care by Julie Pemberton.
Disappearance and death
Palmer was last seen when she arrived at her school on the morning of 30 October 2015. She subsequently left at approximately 8:10 a.m. without attending any of her classes.[2] Police have said it is likely that she was planning to skip school that day.[3] She was not seen for the rest of the day. On 5 November, police released photos and information on Palmer in a press conference.[4] Later that same day, the remains of a female aged 12–18 were found in the Pimpama River, and on 6 November, they were officially identified as Palmer's. Police then began a search for Palmer's backpack and school uniform, in a bid to capture her killer.[5] On 7 November, a vigil was held in Logan to honour Palmer, and, on 14 November, her funeral was held and was attended by hundreds of people.[6] On 4 December, a shoe was found around the area where Palmer's body was discovered, which police believe to be Palmer's.[7]
Investigation
The police have forensically examined a number of houses and vehicles in connection with the murder of Palmer. The investigation has so far failed to find her missing backpack and school uniform. [8] [9] In September 2016 a car formerly owned by Palmer's foster father was seized by police and is undergoing forensic examination. On 20 September four people, including her foster parents, were arrested, and her foster father, Rick Thorburn, is to be charged with her murder.[10]
