Mr Orme was last seen on Odense Street, Fitzgibbon on August 11 before leaving in a white 2012 Nissan Navara with Queensland registration 354WAN.
He visited Ironbark Gully in Ferny Hills at 12:40pm on that same day, but has not been seen or heard from since.
…
Detectives would like to speak with anyone who may have seen the missing man or his ute between August 13 and August 19, in the greater Brisbane area.
“Mr Orme’s vehicle is unique … it has construction equipment on the roof, it’s a white Nissan Navara that is easily identifiable.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Carseldine detectives established Operation Victor Falmouth to investigate the “suspicious disappearance” of 54-year-old Fitzgibbon man Brett Orme, who was reported missing by family on August 16.
Mr Orme’s vehicle was found by police last Friday, August 19, at the Tinchi Tamba wetlands in Bald Hills — 20km away from Ironbark Gully.
The missing man’s phone was “discarded” at Ironbark Gully and handed in to police on August 16, according to Detective Superintendent Andrew Massingham.
“The vehicle is seen entering Deep Water Bend [at Bald Hills] just after 7pm on that night [and] was in the vicinity … for some three-and-a-half hours before it leaves, only for three or four minutes, and then again is seen [returning] around midnight.”
Detective Superintendent Massingham said the ute was then parked “in a somewhat secluded area” and locked near council access gates, but Mr Orme was nowhere to be found.
“Extensive” air, river and land searches, aided by police divers and a helicopter, around the wetlands over the past few days have failed to locate the missing man.
