"Police in Australia are hoping to find out what happened to a Canadian man, presumed murdered, who went missing almost 45 years ago.
Detectives have revisited the coastal town of Beachport in South Australia after receiving new information about Gordon Rogers through a Crime Stoppers cold case campaign, The Advertiser reports.
Rogers was 20 years old and travelled to Australia on a work visa in March 1970, according to Crime Stoppers.
He was a labourer for the Woods and Forest Department when he went drinking with a friend from work at a party in Beachport on Aug. 2, 1970.
That friend, according to Crime Stoppers, said he left the party to take his girlfriend home and asked another man to take Rogers home.
That man told investigators he took a woman home first, then returned to the party. When he got there, he said, Rogers wasn't there.
He was never seen or heard from again, and police think he was murdered."
