Joanne Rachael Lees (born 25 September 1973) is best known for her ordeal in central Australia when, in 2001, as a young British tourist travelling with her partner Peter Falconio, she was attacked and subjected to an attempted abduction by a man later identified as Bradley John Murdoch.
Lees escaped her attacker, but Falconio was never found, and in 2005 Murdoch was convicted of his murder.
Lees was the chief crown witness in the subsequent murder trial of Bradley John Murdoch conducted in Darwin.
She later wrote a 2006 book, converted into a 2007 telemovie, about her experiences.
