Murdered sex worker Jean Morris's body lies in an unmarked grave in Queensland. Now locals want to change that
When he was 22, Henry Petersen read the story of an unsolved 1930s era murder in his hometown. Now he wants to ensure the victim, a 19-year-old sex worker, is not forgotten.

Vengeful, callous, cold-blooded and fiendish.
That's how the depression-era newspapers described the murder of a 19-year-old sex worker in her bed in north Queensland's Burdekin region in 1932.
Jean Morris was living and working in a small, two bedroom corrugated iron hut, servicing men who came in droves to the region seeking work in the town's sugarcane industry.
Unclaimed by family, the body of Jean Morris was buried unmarked in the Ayr cemetery.
