Stuart Gatehouse … car found in dam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

April 21, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

A crime scene has been established following the discovery of human remains inside a submerged vehicle at Borumba Dam, east of Jimna.<\/p>\n

The body is believed to belong to Stuart Raymond Gatehouse who went missing on April 1, 2004, when he was aged 45.<\/p>\n

Mr Gatehouse was last seen at Kenilworth and had planned to travel to Gympie in his\u00a0red 1986 Holden Commodore.<\/p>\n

Police were contacted recently after a member of the public detected a large object near the boat ramp while using a depth sounder at Borumba Dam.<\/p>\n

The Police Dive Squad attended on Thursday and located a submerged vehicle, which was identified as Mr Gatehouse’s car,<\/p>\n

When the vehicle was removed from the water, police found skeletal remains inside, but no formal identification can be made until forensic examinations take place.<\/p>\n

The State Homicide Squad is assisting Sunshine Coast CIB detectives with the investigation.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information which they believe could be relevant to the investigation has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800-333-000.<\/p>\n

UPDATE April 24, 2017:<\/strong> The car which contained what is believed to be Mr Gatehouse’s remains was discovered by well-known Wondai fisherman Terry Allwood.<\/p>\n

Mr Allwood was competing in the Basstasstic fishing tournament at the dam on March 25 when he made the find.<\/p>\n

Heading out for an afternoon session of competition, Mr Allwood was a short distance from shore when he noticed the outline of the car in his fish finder.<\/p>\n

He immediately marked the position on his GPS and his wife reported the find to police that evening.<\/p>\n

A police officer met the couple at the dam next day.<\/p>\n

The car was approximately 30m from shore, about 10m below the surface.<\/p>\n

Mr Allwood said at first he thought the car had simply been dumped, and wasn’t concerned until he got a call from police Thursday afternoon saying the car was linked to a missing person case.<\/p>\n

Police divers and Clayton’s Towing later retrieved the red VL Holden Commodore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
