In 1996 16 year old Alana Cecil would be found dead, slumped in a seated position in the carport of an abandoned house in the suburb of Melton Victoria Australia.
As far as the Melton Police were concerned it was just another tragic case of a youth heroin overdose. Case closed.
But for Alana’s family, and particular her father, the circumstantial evidence didn’t fit.
No drug paraphernalia was found at the scene, Alana’s clothes had been hurriedly put on, her bra was missing, her underwear was inside out and back to front, and not one but two separate fresh injection sites were red flags. It was clear that Alana’s body had been placed in this location, but by who?
Eight years after Alana’s death a DNA breakthrough, two male DNA semen profiles were finally identified on and inside Alana’s body. One being of a 57 year old man known to Police, who under questioning as to how his DNA was present simply answered no comment.
Yet 28 years on, despite a coronial inquest unable to rule out foul play, Alana’s case remains closed, and vital questions remain unanswered.
This case will have you questioning, What really happened to Alana Cecil?

What happened to Alana? | Melton & Moorabool

On November 10, 1996, his 16-year-old daughter Alana Cecil was found dead from an apparent drug overdose.

Police at the time said they didn’t think the death was suspicious, but that didn’t sit well with Peter.

Since the day Peter lost his beloved daughter, he has dedicated his life to find out what happened to his girl.

“I haven’t had a chance to grieve,” he said. “I go to the cemetery and talk to Alana.

“It’s been difficult and I’ve had to hold it in all of this time. I’ve missed out on a lot of things with Alana … To live with that and not share things that normal fathers do with their daughters.

“I was robbed of that and also the fact the worst part about it was that she was treated like an animal, dumped like an animal.”

Alana was found at a vacant house on the corner of Barrys and Stations roads in Melton. She had been out the night before with friends. Some reports said she was last seen in Brimbank, other people say they saw her at the Djerriwarrh Bonfire Festival.

There were drugs in Alana’s system and needle marks in both arms.

The autopsy report showed she hadn’t had drugs for three months beforehand, having successfully been through rehab.

Peter claims the initial investigation was botched. He said evidence was missed and statements from key people weren’t taken until years later and some never at all.

Botched policework alright, they have a DNA sample, genealogy should make a profile for the perp. Staged as a drug overdose when in reality a cover up by one of the perps that SA her, and killed her so she wouldnt talk. MOO
 
DNA doesn't lie, will catch up with the perp eventually
A DNA profile was matched to Two individuals. A 49 year old male and 18 year male. Both have been interviewed and their statements basically consisted of "No comment "
