Qld: Kerry Packer wins rights to Natasha Ryan story
KERRY PACKER's Publishing and Broadcasting has won a bidding war to tell the storyof mystery teenager NATASHA RYAN.
But public relations guru MAX MARKSON says 18-year-old Ms RYAN -- who hid from theworld for almost five years -- will receive none of the money.
Police found her last Thursday, hiding in a cupboard at the Rockhampton home she sharedwith boyfriend, SCOTT BLACK.
Until then, Ms RYAN'S family believed she was a victim of alleged serial killer LEONARDJOHN FRASER.
It's understood media organisations were willing to pay up to $250,000 for her story.
But Mr MARKSON says Ms RYAN and Mr BLACK won't be receiving any money regarding the story.
Queensland Housing Minister and state MP for Rockhampton ROBERT SCHWARTEN says thoselooking to pay money for the story are leeches.
Premier PETER BEATTIE estimates the search for Ms RYAN cost up to $300,000 and thefinal bill from her deception may be more than that.
