'Police said she had been violently assaulted with a blunt, heavy object and was found with major head injuries.
The clothes Ms Henry had been wearing and the handbag she had at the time have never been recovered.

Absolutely devistating for the family. A discusting and disturbing way of ending a persons life. A case of commiting a crime, finding a rural area (samford), and getting rid of any evidence, although it was not done well if someone spotted her the next morning. They need to interview all her clients from the past as well as ex boyfriends.

Liz Henry was pregnant when she was murdered in 1998. Now four generations of her family are hoping for answers

Liz Henry was one of eight and a mother of six. And although she was vulnerable when she died — beaten to death and her body left by a road north-west of Brisbane — her family remembers a "mighty strong woman".

''Liz was last seen alive in the inner Brisbane suburb of Fortitude Valley shortly before midnight on February 11. She was wearing a dark denim mini skirt and a shirt, carrying a small black handbag.

About dawn on February 12 her naked body was found lying face down at a gravel reserve at Samford, 20 kilometres from the CBD. She had been beaten to death with a blunt object, and there had been an attempt to incinerate her body. ''

''She had recently and reluctantly returned to sex work.
Investigators would later rule out any link to the killing of two other Fortitude Valley sex workers — Julie McColl and Jasmin Crathen — by paramedic Francis Fahey.''

"This is about generations of people not having answers, and they deserve answers.''
