On 14 June 1997 a toddler is left alone in the middle of the night while his babysitter collects his mother from a party. In their absence, the windows are smashed and a severed pig's head is thrown into the room where the child was left sleeping. On their return the pig's head is waiting, a gruesome claling card staring up from the garden bed. The child has vanished. Within twenty-four hours the Homicide Squad rules out any involvement of the 'pig's head team' or anyone else in the baby's disappearance and settles on the babysitter as the prime suspect. The child was Jaidyn Leskie. The babysitter, Greg Domaszewicz, was arrested, charged and eventually acquitted of murdering Jaidyn. Case closed?
