A MURDER investigation led police to the Southern Downs this week, as digging began to uncover the body of a man who has been missing for three years.
An appeal for more information on the third anniversary of Sam Robert Price-Purcell's disappearance directed police to a property at Leyburn. Digging for the body of the missing man began on Wednesday, with a buried drug lab and firearms already located within hours of the search starting.
Pictures emerged of the discoveries and despite pictures of bones circulating through television media, police confirmed they were not Sam's remains.
While police tried to unravel secrets of the past at Leyburn, the women of Warwick were looking towards the future for Queensland Women's Week.
We caught up with inspirational Warwick mother Suzette Benz, who had a special connection to this year's theme 'leave no woman behind'. Ms Benz took in the three daughters of her deceased best friend, while caring for her own children. As a full-time worker and owner of a not-for-profit dance school, Ms Benz possesses the kindness, community spirit and ambition our daughters can all aspire to.
Meanwhile Dr Louise Clarke shared words of wisdom with students at Warwick State High School and fellow doctor Bronwyn Bryant shared tips on how women in their 20s and 30s can keep an eye on their health.
An artist with a rare form of tourette syndrome also shared her terrifying battle with the condition that almost robbed her of her talent and how creativity became the best form of treatment.
In the business world this week, one popular cafe celebrated a special birthday while two business veterans were given well-deserved places in the Warwick Chamber of Commerce hall of fame. The fate of our own Donut King franchise was also revealed, amid reports that up to 200 Retail Food Group stores will shut around Australia.
