A police dive team has scoured the Kinbombi Falls area near Goomeri as part of the ongoing search for missing person Jack McLennan.

The search, carried out earlier this week, follows repeated assertions on social media that the Kinbombi area was somehow linked to Jack’s disappearance.

The 27-year-old was last seen between 8:00pm and 10:00pm on October 4 last year, travelling on foot in the Ficks Crossing area.

Since then, items of Jack’s clothing and a wallet have been found by searchers in the Ficks Crossing and Murgon areas.

A police spokesperson said on Friday that dive squad officers had searched the Kinbombi Falls area but nothing of interest had been discovered.

“Feedback from divers at the end of the search indicated visibility was good and Jack was not located,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said police had conducted extensive searches for Jack in accordance with best practice State search guidelines.

“To date those searches have included significant resources from the Queensland Police Service, SES and members of the public,” the spokesperson said.

“Police continue to encourage any members of the community to report information that may assist in the location of Jack to CrimeStoppers on 1800-333-000.

“Police will continue to investigate any new potential lines of inquiry relating to this matter and any further updates will be provided to the family as a matter of priority.

“There is a dedicated family liaison officer appointed to Jack’s next of kin and continual regular updates are provided to them, specifically Jack’s mother.”
