Leanne disappeared after a shopping trip in the centre of the city on 26 November 2000. Her body was found in woods several miles away, nine months later.
Leanne's mother Sharon Hawkhead - who described Leanne as a happy, confident and streetwise girl - said the family was in a "living hell".
I recall the news events when they were orignally broadcast, and was reminded of the events after watching the sad documentary on this (someones daughter, someones son). Seeing your family made me think that this type of horrible, life scarring event can happen to anyone, as your family kind of remind of me of my family. You are all coping admirably, and although im sure you wish things could be different, a lot of people are gaining strength from watching how you are all coping with such dignity.
I hope you gain strength from these comments.
Having watched the documentary about Leanne and your family, I would like to send my condolences and best wishes to you and your family for the future. Thank you for letting us into your lives with the documentary. Love and best wishes. Terry
a lovely girl gone too soon.

Rip leanne thinking of you and rembering you. Love rachel xxx

Message for parents!
I felt moved by the programe with reference to your beautiful daughter Leanne. On watcing the program, I observed Leanne's Father's visit to the woods. He expressed the "ROBIN", has been at the woods and I felt compelled to let you know, I experience the robin when I visit my father's grave in knock Ireland. I concur the same. Yes the Robin's always there and this gives me strength to cope with his sudden death in 1999.
It gives me strength because if you research the history of the robin, that's why you always see it close to your beautiful daughter!
Sorry for your loss and I hope you find renewed strength to cope with your loss.
From Mary Ryan from a mother to a mother.
GOD Bless your in my thoughts and prayers xxx

Paying My Respects frm John...
Well to be straight I didn't even know of dear Leanne until I watched a recent TV Program about her & I shrank with horror & anger at what that despicable excuse of a human being did to poor Leanne!!! What on earth had that Beautiful Girl done???.... to that disgusting animal for him to have cut her life short like it was just nothing.... I really hope someone gets him in prison!!! My Heart go`s out to Leanne's Brave Family Relatives & Friends alike!!! God Bless Leanne's Soul forever!!!!
You make your family very proud
You are a princess of the sky
Lighting star lanterns very high
Heaven calls the special girls and boys
to paint rainbows and make cloud toys
The shapes they form were made by you
and all the other angels called early too
