Clubb family pushes Queensland Police for $1 million reward in 2013 disappearance
The relatives of missing Indigenous woman Monique Clubb are urging Queensland Police to create a $1 million reward for information about her 2013 disappearance.
The Clubb family, whose sister Monique disappeared in June 2013 during a trip from Hervey Bay to Brisbane, is pressing Queensland Police to establish a $1 million reward for new information. Monique, 24 at the time, was last seen leaving a Beenleigh shopping centre and walking through a park, after which she vanished. A 2021 coronial inquest revealed several investigative shortcomings, including lost security footage from Beenleigh train station and failure to interview shoe-store staff or obtain full phone records.
Experts such as Martin Hodgson of The Disappeared Project argue that a sizable reward could motivate witnesses, while researcher Amy McQuire noted systemic bias against Aboriginal missing-person cases. The family describes their experience as “ambiguous loss,” a grief without closure. Queensland Police maintain that any tip will be examined but declined to comment on offering rewards.
Why it matters
A large reward could generate new leads in a long-standing missing-person case affecting Indigenous communities.
