Mr Hardgraves phone and wallet were found inside the vehicle and he had reportedly spoken to his mother on Tuesday night, telling her he was on his way to Coolangatta, police say.
Police found the 43-year-old's car three hours in the opposite direction

I'm thinking the vehicle looks more like someone took a lump of wood to it than an accident with another vehicle or tree. Just a thought. :thinking: Something definitely fishy here. :

I agree, It looks like it has been repeatedly hit with something as opposed to one hard hit into a tree or pole or something of that nature.
Hmmm... I hope they can work out by the damage what happened.
Somethings not right with him being found in the opposite direction to where he told his mother he was going.
Something definitely not adding up here.

Police remain baffled over the mystery disappearance of Gold Coast man Jamie Hardgraves after almost two months of investigations...

Insp Deacon said he believed the CCTV sighting at Stanthorpe was pivotal.

“We don’t know how he’s ended up in Stanthorpe and what’s happened after Stanthorpe on May 18,” he said.

Have asked a Mod to merge the two threads.

Vale Jamie. Prayers of strength and comfort to his family and loved ones.

I daresay the roo was found nearby to Jamie's car.
I had a large buck appear out of nowhere early one morning out in the sticks where I live and cause similar damage to my 4WD, took the radiator out amongst other damage.
Very distressing, I'm an animal lover.

Skeletal remains found on a property near Stanthorpe in Queensland's Granite Belt last week have been identified as the body of missing Gold Coast man Jamie Hardgraves

If I'm not mistaken he was found not far from where his crashed car was located.

Maybe he suffered internal injuries when hitting the kangaroo, went to find help and sat down under a tree for a short rest to catch his breath?

Jamie's remains were found a long way from where his car was located G:


and it's believed he had received a lift to Stanthorpe subsequent to the accident:


Of course, this doesn't mean it's not possible that Jamie had internal injuries from the accident that he disregarded and those injuries lead to his death.

Also, it would have taken Jamie a little over 2 hours to walk the 11 km route from Stanthorpe to Glen Aplin where his remains were found:

Google Maps: Stanthorpe to Glen Aplin QLD via National Highway 15

A strangely circuitous route if Jamie was travelling from the Gold Coast (Thiedke Road in Beaudesert?) to see family in Coolangatta:


Jamie's movements on 17 and 18 May 2016, based on the above (plus route ending in Coolangatta):

Google Maps: Beaudesert via Texas (with diversions to Stanthorpe and Glen Aplin) to Coolangatta

This is such an odd story wonder what happened to this man ?
