Manhunt Intensifies in Mackay

Queensland Police are urgently calling for public assistance following new developments in the case of Wayne Pedro Morseau, a 71-year-old man whose disappearance has become a focal point of a suspected homicide investigation.

Morseau was reported missing on November 10, 2025, sparking immediate concern due to his absence from any communications with friends or family. Initial investigations by the Queensland Police Service (QPS) have led them to believe that Morseau’s disappearance from his Griffin Street residence in Mackay in September 2025 was under suspicious circumstances.

Further inquiries have chillingly suggested that Morseau may have died at his home and his body remained at the location for some time before being clandestinely moved. This latest revelation has intensified the ongoing investigations, with police believing that individuals connected to his demise may have orchestrated the removal of his body.

The QPS is appealing to the community for any information, urging those with CCTV or dashcam footage to come forward. The police have reiterated the importance of public cooperation in piecing together the events leading to Morseau’s disappearance and presumed death.

For anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, Queensland Police have provided several avenues for contact, including Policelink and Crime Stoppers, ensuring anonymity for those who choose to help. The case reference number is QP2502035864.

As the investigation continues, community members are reminded of the crucial role they play in aiding law enforcement and ensuring safety in the locality.
