Couple ‘murdered teenage mother’, then fed her body to pigs JUST to take her baby

An Australian couple accused of murdering their teenage lodger before feeding her body to pigs so they could steal her baby is currently facing trial after they were arrested 20 years on from the alleged crime. 

Robert and Anne Geeves, both 64, pleaded not guilty to the murder of 19-year-old Amber Haigh, who vanished from the Geeves household in New South Wales in 2002.

Haigh, who was mentally impaired, was lodging with the couple along with her then-five-month-old son – fathered by Robert, and was last seen in public on June 2, 2002.

THE DAY SHE GOT MISSING

The Geeves claim that on June 5 they drove her to a train station close to Sydney so she could visit her father, who was terminally ill in hospital.

The teenage mother never arrived at the hospital and was never seen again. 

Her case remained cold for years until Australian police arrested Mr and Mrs Geeves in May 2022, almost exactly two decades later after Haigh’s disappearance. 

Now grisly details of the case have emerged, with prosecutors alleging the couple used Haigh as a ‘surrogate mother’, before killing her and disposing of her body by feeding her to pigs. 

Investigators also discovered the Geeveses had bought a chainsaw around the time of Haigh’s disappearance, having found the butt of a cheque they used to pay for it.

OFFICIAL REPORT MADE

Haigh was reported missing on June 19, 2002 after failing to return to her home in Kingsvale, close to Harden in New South Wales, where she and her five-month-old son had been living with the Geeves family.

Police were told the pair dropped the young mother at Campbelltown train station on June 5 that she intended to travel from there to Mt Druitt in western Sydney to visit her sick father in hospital.

COURT HEARD

A coroners inquest in 2011 found Haigh died as a result of homicide or other misadventure in June 2002, and police, suspecting the Geeves’ involvement in the crime, installed listening devices in their home. 

But they were never able to gather enough evidence to charge the couple.

In 2020 a formal review of the case was conducted under the Homicide Squad’s Unsolved Homicide framework, and a fresh investigation was launched, culminating in the arrest of Robert and Anne Geeves in May 2022.
