Queensland Police release suspect sketches and offer $1 million for 24-year-old double murder case

Queensland Police have issued forensic artist renderings of two men linked to a 2002 double homicide on the NSW-Queensland border and announced a $1 million reward for information.

Queensland Police released forensic artist impressions of two men thought to be involved in the 2002 killings of Iain Stewart Hogg, 45, and Frederick Hugh Rosson, 67, near the NSW-Queensland border. Hogg vanished after failing to appear for work at a Burleigh bottle shop and was last seen driving a red 1992 Toyota Celica before a gunshot was heard near the Tweed River. Rosson was shot at his home in Mount Nathan while arranging the sale of a 9mm CZ handgun.

Witnesses reported seeing two men in a red Celica at both locations. Detectives are offering a $1 million reward and possible indemnity for accomplices who provide information leading to convictions. The police emphasize that anyone with even seemingly minor recollections should contact investigators, as the murders remain unsolved after 24 years.

Why it matters

A $1 million reward could finally break a decades-old cold case and bring closure to the victims' families.
