Brett Orme’s family make desperate plea to public for answers after weeks missing

The family of a Brisbane man who vanished three weeks ago have made a desperate plea for answers.

The family of a missing Brisbane man have made a desperate plea for answers more than three weeks since he vanished.

Brett Orme, was last seen by family on August 11, and last spoke to his son, Taine, during a phone call on August 13, but he hasn’t been heard from since.

Mr Orme’s phone was found discarded at Ironbark Gully on August 16, and his car was found parked and locked on August 19 at Tinchi Tamba Wetlands.

Mr Orme’s sister, Jacqui Armstrong, urged anyone with information to come forward.

“We desperately want to know what has happened to Brett and just want answers as to where he is,” she told The Courier-Mail.

Mr Orme was an avid mountain biker, and loved fishing and spending time with his son out on his boat.

“(He) also loved spending time with close and extended family. Always cared for others before himself … always willing to lend a hand.”

“(He is) hard working in his shed business with a very professional manner.

“We as a family just appeal to anyone who knows anything no matter how small or incidental it may seem to please come forward.”

Police made a public appeal for information on August 21, saying they had “grave concerns” for Mr Orme’s safety.

Mr Orme’s car was spotted entering Deep Water bend about 7pm on the day he last spoke to family, and leaving again three hours later.

The car returned to the area minutes later and was left locked and parked.

Mr Orme’s phone was also found at Ironbark Gully and handed into a police station on August 16.

The phone contained a selfie Mr Orme had taken in the area on the day he spoke with his son on the phone.

Police conducted extensive ground and air searches around the Samford area, as well as underwater searches around Tinchi Tamba Wetlands using police divers and sonar equipment.

The search was called off on August 29, with police saying they were instead focusing on “known associates” of Mr Orme.

Ms Armstrong pleaded with anyone who had information to come forward and give their family some answers.

“If they wish to stay anonymous that can be done through Crime Stoppers,” she said.

“I ask everyone to keep sharing posts to keep Bretts face fresh in everyone’s minds.”

Police investigations remain ongoing.
