Australia Australia - Kyle Coleman, 17, Mount Isa, QLD, 22 Feb 2014

[MsAnais]

Two days ago the NorthWest Star published the details of Kyle's friend who suicided:

Updated information on the Please find Kyle Coleman Facebook page says Kyle was last seen in a silver/gold dual cab Colorado at Mount Isa truckport service station at 11.45am with his friend James Coleman.

James was helping police with their investigations before tragically taking his own life.

I missed this article - tis from the 27th March:

````SOMEBODY must know something,'' Mount Isa Police Inspector Trevor Kidd said yesterday about the search for teenager Kyle Coleman.

"The message we're trying to get across is here's two young men - they've got lots of friends around the place, and somebody has information, but for some reason they're not coming forward,'' he said......

........Inspector Kidd said police had confirmed that Kyle had been at the Mount Isa truckport on Friday, February 21, and Undilla station later that day.

This link takes you to a NorthWest Star page that has links to the letters that his family and friends wrote for the latest article in the print edition.

New Poster for Kyle

Isn't that strange! Looking at photos of James on FB they could easily be mistaken for brothers. When Kyle first went missing James' mother had written a status asking for her "other son" to come home so it sounds like they were very close friends.

The now seem to be discounting JC's statement about Kyle returning to Isa:

Yes - good point, Sleep! They are indeed discounting JC's statement - the last definite sighting of Kyle was at the fuel station.

I really hope this case gets solved. Such a loving, dedicated family - they really need some answers lease:

 

[MsAnais]

The focus has definitely shifted from the idea of him last being in Mt Isa. The latest update in the NorthWest Star on 8th April:

The last confirmed sighting of Kyle was when he was with his friend James in a silver-gold (misty onyx) dual-cab Holden Colorado at the Mount Isa Shell truck port service station.

He was spotted there about 11.45am on Friday, February 21.

This case really makes me sad, to know that his family is in so much pain is heartbreaking. I just don't understand why his friend didn't leave a note saying what happened on the hunting trip. I keep hoping each day that they will find answers.lease:

Wonder what happened to him being seen at Undilla around 'lunchtime'.

Hmmmmm......very good point, Sleep! What about this, from Feb 26th??BBM:

Police said they were aware of information that Kyle was seen on Undilla Station, about 100km north east of Camooweal, last Friday afternoon and had extended the search to areas between Mount Isa and the property.

Lindsay Miller, Undilla Station, confirmed Kyle had been at his property on Friday.

He said he believed he saw Kyle about lunchtime, but said he could not comment further as police were investigating.

Here's Undilla Station itself, on a video from ABC North West Qld. They are interviewing Lindsay Miller about the drought:

It would be pretty hard for Kyle to be seen at lunchtime at Undilla, if he was at the Shell truckport at 11:45am. (I would imagine he was caught on CCTV there, which is why they can confirm he was 'spotted' there.)

Undilla is almost a 3hr drive from the truckport. Although the property probably extends quite a ways around Google's map point.

If the Undilla station manager is being truthful, did he see someone else in the vehicle with James? Did he just see 'two lads' in the vehicle and the assumption is that it was James and Kyle?

Was someone else with James and Kyle that day, and has not come forward with information? And if so, where the heck did Kyle go?

Is there some insinuation that Kyle hitched a ride from the truckport on a long distance truck?

I'm not sure why he would drive his parents crazy with worry by doing that though. Or why James would suicide soon after.

There is an ABC (NW Qld) radio interview here with a lady who is assisting with FB monitoring and media liaising … in essence it says the following:

27 March 2014
"It's the story that has captured Mount Isa, with everyone wanting to help in some way."

- Area searching for Kyle is about 2 hrs outside Mt Isa
- Funds raised are for fuel, vehicle maintenance, food, GPS tracking devices (for safety)
- Raised about $12,500 through fund, plus $10,000 from ladies in Mt Isa
- Getting more experienced fundraisers involved
- Community amazingly supportive …. from people sharing FB info to people delivering meals for searchers
- There is community communication to ensure not re-searching same areas 2 & 3 times over, and that they are not interfering with police investigation
- 14 year old boy started the ‘Missing’ FB page (kudos to him!)
- Adult admin monitoring FB to ensure no upsetting comments – lots of hours put into it – day and night
- Other families involved that need to be protected from upsetting comments too
- Parents doing as well as can be expected, but it is very difficult for them

So, if they are searching about 2 hours out of Mt Isa. it must be up in the Camooweal area. And an MSM report (somewhere on this thread) said Kyle and James couldn't get to where they wanted to go at Camooweal due to muddy conditions.

Don't know where I am going with this ... but I thought it may help us to understand where the searches are/were happening, due to whatever info it is that they have.

Where are you Kyle?

Thank you for that info, SouthAussie :seeya:

It does indeed feel important to know where they are searching.

The fact that Lindsay Miller of Undilla Station said in MSM early on that Kyle was at his property that Friday (and that this is now being not publicly acknowledged by LE in MSM) says something IMO.

I agree ... but what does it say??

That he didn't see Kyle, or that he saw a dispute involving Kyle, or that he was involved in a dispute with Kyle, or that he saw other people in the area too?

And regarding James, I have been wondering of late if he left a note. Something that explained a little more about what happened - and that is why police called off their search, but kept investigating the matter.
