Police have released images of two men they believe may hold the key to solving the suspected murder of Tweed Heads man Iain Stewart Hogg and the killing of another man on the Gold Coast 24 years ago.
Homicide detectives say new information received following a renewed public appeal in 2024 has prompted the release of two Comfit images created from witness accounts in 2002.
Mr Hogg, 45, was reported missing on March 12, 2002, after failing to attend work at a Burleigh liquor store.
Police say his red Toyota Celica was seen in the early hours of March 11 near the Volunteer Marine Rescue pontoon at Coral Street, Tweed Heads.
Witnesses reported seeing a number of people around the car before a flash and loud bang believed to have been a gunshot.
Investigators believe Mr Hogg’s body was placed into the Tweed River near the northern rock wall at that time.
Four days later, 67-year-old Frederick Hugh Rosson, also known as ‘Slim Johnson’, was shot dead at his Mount Nathan home on the Gold Coast during the theft of a 9mm handgun and ammunition he had advertised for sale.
Police say witnesses saw two men in a red Celica at Mr Rosson’s home around the time of his murder.
Mr Hogg’s Celica was found abandoned at Palm Beach on March 20 and was subsequently forensically linked to both offences.
Detective Sergeant Scott Chapman urged people to look closely at the newly released images.
‘Someone may recognise or know these men or remember something that seemed insignificant at the time but now could be important,’ he said.
‘Twenty-four years have passed and relationships and loyalties change. People who may once have been afraid to speak may no longer feel that way. It is never too late to come forward.’
A $1 million reward remains in place for information leading to a conviction.
