Still Missing Australia - U.S Citizen Priscilla Brooten, 46, presumed murdered, Brisbane, July 2018

I have no further news I’m afraid. As far as I’m aware he is remanded at Arthur Gorrie prison awaiting trial. Early news reports say that cadaver dogs alerted at various locations in the front yard, but no remains were found after excavation. They did find evidence of Waden driving a garbage bin in the back of his his ute somewhere undisclosed……

I just had a look at court appearances and it seems that Waden is still in the committal process before the magistrates court. His last mention was in December 2021. Hopefully this speeds up and he gets committed to stand trial this year!

Thank you wrestling! I did browse through the QLD Magistrate's Supreme Court Website, only found something for 2020, and I am not sure if it is the same Waden since I could not click on any of the links for privacy reasons I assume? Also, maybe I am restricted from viewing everything since I am not sourcing from an Australian internet address?

Anyway, it is good to hear he is in pre-trial confinement, I was worried that he was free to tamper with the evidence more and he had been free long enough during the earlier stages of the investigation.

I had to look up what a Ute was which I found the definition of. I did indeed see the Ute article/video posting which was one of the last ones from main stream media.

I really hope Waden decides to be human and a man again, and reports to the police where Priscilla can be found, if still possible, so family and best friends can have closure, and her soul can be at rest and no longer alone.

I also hope he gets committed to stand trial this year as well!
