Photographs depicting the half-naked corpse of murdered Ipswich schoolgirl Leanne Holland have been posted on a website dedicated to gore.
The three graphic images of Leanne's 12-year-old body laying in bushland west of Brisbane, where she was found, were posted online yesterday.
Sources have indicated the photographs are legitimate. brisbanetimes.com.au has opted not to reveal the website's details.
Police were vague when asked to confirm the authenticity of the photos.
"It is disappointing that photographs of this nature find their way in the public domain," a spokesperson said.
The photos have emerged as police review the investigation into Leanne's brutal murder.
Her severely battered body was found near the family's Goodna home three days after she went missing in September 1991.
Graham Stafford was released from jail on parole in 2006, four months short of the 15-year minimum sentence he received for Leanne's murder. He continued to protest his innocence once freed and his conviction was quashed on Christmas Eve 2009.
The website, which is understood to be controlled by at least four people, makes reference to evidence made during Mr Stafford's appeal.
It also reveals details of the nature of the injuries apparent on Leanne's body.
The images - which resemble crime scene photos - raise questions as to how they got into public hands.
After a retrial of Mr Stafford was ruled out in March, claims surfaced that a police informant may have been the murderer.
It is disappointing that photographs of this nature find their way in the public domain.
A woman known only as `Kim' told Fairfax Radio 4BC her natural father had helped police in the murder investigation and had shown her photographs of Leanne's body.
Private investigator Graeme Crowley, who co-authored Who Killed Leanne? with Bond University criminologist Paul Wilson, told 4BC at the time those post-mortem photographs had been circulated in prison.
Queensland Police commissioner Bob Atkinson announced on May 2 investigators would re-examine evidence and re-interview witnesses in the case.
