Grave fears for prison gangster's missing girlfriend

The girlfriend of a notorious prison gangster has been reported missing, with authorities holding serious concerns for her safety.

Tia Maria Jayne Landers was last seen more than two weeks ago at a Nudgee petrol station, News Corp reports..

A month before she was last seen, Ms Landers failed to appear in court for a violent home robbery. The 28-year-old is boyfriend Wade Bartz's co-accused.

Mr Bartz is a member of the jailhouse Angry Gang, where he gained infamy for jailbreaks using boltcutters, as well as affairs with a prison psychiatrist and a guard.


While Ms Landers's disappearance is not believed to be related to Mr Bartz, the mother-of-four has schizophrenia and takes antipsychotic medication.

"You may think it's best to stay away but your family needs you back."
