'Distressing incidents' revealed in final weeks of Noosa woman's life
Almost 35 years after the death of Leslie Larkin, police have revealed the Noosa Heads woman experienced distressing incidents in the final weeks of her life.
The vicious assault that led to the 31-year-old's death remains unsolved.
A nearby resident found Leslie Patricia Larkin at 12.30am on November 9, 1984, in her Kareela Court unit at Kareela Avenue, Noosa Heads.
She had been seriously assaulted and died from her injuries the next day at the Royal Brisbane Hospital.
On Wednesday police revealed they had fresh information about Ms Larkin’s death.
“The information provided to us is that Ms Larkin had experienced some distressing incidents in the weeks prior to her death,” Sunshine Coast district Detective Inspector Dave Drinnen said.
“We believe Ms Larkin confided in the people closest to her about these incidents.”
Inspector Larkin asked anyone with information to come forward as the information could be crucial to solving the crime and to give answers to Ms Larkin’s family.
A state government reward of $250,000 remains for any information which led to the apprehension and conviction of the person or people responsible.
