The stories behind missing Gold Coast people

 

 

HAVING travelled from Melbourne, Tammi Dyson, also known as Tammi Menzies, disappeared at Palm Beach one winter’s day 21 years ago, leaving her children with their grandma and saying she would be back.

She contacted her mother days later and said she would be staying in NSW for a couple of months and return home. She never did.

Snr Sgt Powell said the disappearance was extremely tough on the family.

“The children have grown up not knowing their mother or where she may be,” he said.

“All inquiries at the time failed to shed any light.”

According to Snr Sgt Powell, the first 24-48 hours that someone is missing is crucial. Police were not notified of Tammi’s disappearance for three months.

“To be told three months down the track that someone is missing and we don’t know where they were last seen is extremely difficult,” he said.

Police have had no leads since her disappearance but consider it suspicious.

“While we can’t rule out suicide, logically she would have made contact with her family, there’s no reason for her not to, especially with her children living with her mother.”
