 Detectives from the Queensland Police Service Homicide Investigation Unit and Gimpy Criminal Investigation Branch are investigating the murder of an unknown male person who was located on the 19th of September 2013 at Cedar Pocket, Gimpy. Almost four months have passed since the date and despite extensive investigations conducted, the identity of the male victim remains unknown. Police are making this appeal to identify the male victim or obtain any other information which can assist the investigation. The smallest piece of information could be helpful. On Thursday 19th September 2013, between 6pm and 6.30pm, reports were received of a grass fire on the side of Cedar Pocket Road, Cedar Pocket. This is a rural road situated approximately 10km east of Gimpy. Gimpy is a township located north of the Sunshine Coast between Noosa and Meriburah. The small fire was only a few metres from the roadside and was clearly visible to passing traffic. The rural fire service attended and extinguished the fire, at which time they discovered the victim's remains, which had deliberately been set alight. Several witnesses reported seeing a late model orange, gold or bronze small compact vehicle similar to a hatchback parked on the roadside shortly before this fire was sighted. Witnesses also reported seeing a female in and around this vehicle and near to where the victim was located. This female is described as being between 30 to 50 years of age, shoulder length hair wearing dark three quarter length gym pants. Extensive forensic examinations have been conducted in an effort to identify the male victim. The victim's head was removed, the hands were severed at the wrist and the victim's legs and lower trunk were severed at the abdomen. One of the victim's dismembered body parts have been recovered. There are no tattoos on the chest or back of the victim. Police cannot rule out the victim having had tattoos on his arms due to the effects of the fire. The victim is believed to have been between 25 to 50 years of age, between 180 and 190 centimetres tall and of a large or solid build. He had two small circular scars on his right upper arm and one on his left upper arm, which are possibly vaccination marks. The victim also had a three centimetre scar on the right side of his back, about halfway down. This is either from a previous injury or a surgical procedure. The victim was wearing a size 2 XL shirt. A distinctive towel located with the victim may be recognisable to a relative or friend of either the offender or the victim. It has also been established the victim had several medications in his system. Herbousartin, which is used to treat high blood pressure or hypertension. Quinine, which is used to treat malaria, nocturnal muscle cramps, cramping associated with heroin withdrawals and restless leg syndrome. Diazepam, which is a common medication used as a sedative, anti-anxiety agent, muscle relaxant, anti-convulsant and also commonly used in the treatment of alcohol and drug withdrawals. Doxelamine, which is an anti-histamine type drug used for nausea, sedation and as a sleeping tablet. Missing person reports have been examined in Queensland and across the country in an effort to identify the victim. Police believe this male victim has not yet been reported missing and are urging anyone that has not heard from a relative or friend to contact crime stoppers and advised police. Police want to hear from anyone, even if they think the person they know is a way for work or on holiday, particularly if they left without prior warning. Although the victim was located in the Gimpy area, it is possible the victim is from elsewhere in Queensland or Australia and has been disposed of at this location in a further attempt to hide the identity of the victim. The victim is someone's son and could be a husband or father.
