Foul play suspected in man's 2012 disappearance
Police suspect foul play after Brendan Breen’s bank accounts and phone remained inactive and he missed his daughter’s funeral, prompting renewed appeals for information.
- On Tuesday, police renewed their appeal, saying Brendan Breen's disappearance is now considered suspicious and likely foul play, based on their review.
- Last seen on April 12, 2012, Breen was reported missing after cancelling a May 9 dinner, and suspicions grew when he failed to attend a later funeral, police said.
- Police found his bank accounts and phone were never accessed since 2012, and there have been no reported sightings of Brendan, police said.
- Detective Inspector Dave Dunstan, Missing Persons Squad, said police recently spoke to friends and associates but have run out of leads, urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
- Relatives, including twin sister Fiona, said finding Brendan would bring closure, given his disappearance 14 years ago, which police now treat as suspicious, police said.
