'It's Jaidyn Leskie all over again': The arrest and charge of murder against a petite blonde barista in country Victoria has brought back shocking memories for a town still haunted by a chilling murder mystery

The simple name of the country town of Moe instantly brings back chilling memories for any Victorian old enough to remember little Jaidyn Leskie. 

For locals, the arrest of barista Samantha Grace Guillerme over the murder of Jarrad Lovison on Tuesday has rekindled haunting memories of those dark days in 1997. 

Jaidyn was just a baby when he vanished from his mum's home on Narracan Drive, Newborough, just outside of Moe, late on June 14, 1997.

Jaidyn Leskie was just one when he vanished from his home just outside of Moe in 1997. He was found dead six months later 

Greg Domaszewicz was charged with the little boy's murder, but was found not guilty. The case has haunted Moe ever since

Guillerme was arrested after police searched a property in Moe and was remanded in custody to return to court on January 7

His body was found in nearby Blue Rock Dam six months later. 

It quickly turned into a murder mystery and until this day remains murky. 

A pig's head had been thrown at the house and other vandalism on the evening of the toddler's disappearance. 

His mum's then boyfriend, Greg Domaszewicz, was charged with murder, but was found not guilty by a jury in December 1998.

A coronial inquest in 2006 found that he had contributed to the toddler's death and had likely disposed of the boy's body.  

While the differences between the two cases are obvious, the similarities have had tongues wagging since Mr Lovison vanished from the face of the earth on April 16.

The next day, Guillerme shared a photo on her social media page of her dog at the Lyrebird Forest Walk about 60km to the south of Moondarra.

Alongside the photo from April 17, she wrote the caption 'today's adventure'. 

Police on Wednesday afternoon charged three more men over the alleged murder of Mr Lovison. 

Their alleged connection to the petite blonde arrested a day earlier for now remains unknown. 

As do the reasons they found themselves to be charged alongside her with murder. 

Mr Lovison grew up in the very same suburb of Moe, Newborough, as Jaidyn, who was just one when he disappeared. 

His body was found on May 23 in bushland in Moondarra - about 125km east of Melbourne and north of Moe.

Jarrad Lovison, 38, went missing in mid-April but his remains were discovered by detectives in Moondarra, near Moe in Victoria's Gippsland region

Guillerme was arrested after detectives searched a property on Coalville Rd, Moe  - where a white Toyota was seized as part of the ongoing police investigation. 

Her alleged accomplices - a 28-year-old man, a 47-year-old Moe man and a 44-year-old Trafalgar woman.  

Guillerme had worked at a cafe just around the corner in Trafalgar before she was put out of a job by the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Wednesday, the Eat Live Fresh cafe was busy serving customers in the 'almost' free lands of regional Victoria.

Too busy to answer questions when approached by Daily Mail Australia.  

Guillerme had been by other accounts, a good employee who had been let go with regret. 

Trafalgar is a textbook country town, with a short main street with just a few shops still open. 

The pub on the corner was locked-up tight like many of the old country pubs across the Latrobe Valley.  

Locals were understandably shocked when they heard that the friendly barista from the nearby cafe had been charged with murder. 

In Trafalgar, the town folk are friendly and say hello to strangers as they come across them on the street. 

Guillerme had been just as friendly and was known to get about town with her little black dog. 

She was never in a rush and always had time for a chinwag with anyone who ventured into the cafe's doors. 

'We couldn't believe it when we heard that,' a man from a neighbouring shop said. 

'She was only a little thing. We can only imagine she was getting around with the wrong crowd ... it has that whole feeling of the Jaidyn Leskie thing all over again.'

The man was not alone in that sentiment, with several locals mentioning the tragic unsolved case.  

Word had already got around that three other men had been picked-up by police over the alleged murder of Mr Lovison. 

'We all know their names, but we'll just let the police do their thing,' another local said. 

Mr Lovison, or 'Lovo' as he was known around town, had been living in and about Moe his whole life.

Mr Lovison was riding his bike the night he mysteriously disappeared. Police are investigating a report the bike was seen resting against a tree in Tanjil South, north of Moe, on April 18

Mr Lovison was last spotted in Moe, Latrobe Valley. A close friend of his said the arrest was 'a long time coming'

By most accounts, he was well liked in the area despite his rough and rugged appearance. 

Like the tragic Leskie case,speculation has been rife about what, why and how the lovable larrikan met his grim demise.  

Such has been the intrigue that the mystery had spawned its own podcast, that has been a cause for controversy across the area. 

A Facebook page dedicated to at first finding Mr Lovison and then providing his family with justice has also kept locals in the loop. 

The page has almost 3000 followers, with each update earning dozens of comments. 

While those who knew Guillerme in Trafalgar remember her fondly, there are more than a few about Moe that have expressed serious concerns about her character. 

'I knew in my gut from day one it was her involved,' one person wrote. 'Nothing added up ... Justice for the gentle giant.' 

Mr Lovison's family is said to be relieved that police have finally made some charges over the death of their son. 

But in a town like Moe, they know better than anyone that not everyone found responsible for murder goes to jail.
