The statement can be attributed to Quanne’s cousin, Christine Woo, on behalf of the Diec family.
Today’s result is not what we were hoping for.
We are still trying to process the words not guilty and it is difficult for us to understand how the jury has come to this decision.
We wanted justice for Quanne and we haven’t got that.
The past 21 years have deeply affected us. No one should have to go through the pain we have endured.
The worst part is Quanne’s body has never been found.
We haven’t been able to lay her to rest and give her the dignity she deserves.
Someone out there knows where she is and to that person – you have shattered our family.
Quanne was a beautiful 12-year-old girl. We miss her and think about her every day.
Thank you to the community for their support and the police for all their work.
The family has requested the media continue to respect their privacy at this difficult time in their lives.
