What happened to Tony Jones?

Tony Jones
(Anthony John Jones) of Perth, Western Australia, had been travelling in Queensland since September 1982. He hitch-hiked from place to place, meeting his brother from time to time at pre-arranged points.

After visiting Brisbane, Mackay and Airlie Beach, Tony Jones left Townsville on 28 October 1982, to travel to Cairns, having arranged to meet his brother at Mount Isa about a week later. He was known to have been in Townsville again on 3 November, 1982, when he telephoned his home in Perth, and indicated his intention of travelling to Mount Isa. He has not been seen or heard from since that time, and it is suspected that he has been murdered.
