Third man charged over suspected murder of missing father Greg Dufty

A third man has been charged over the suspected killing of a missing Queensland father.

The Gold Coast man was charged with the alleged murder of Greg Dufty.

The 25-year-old from Arundel was charged with one count of murder.

Mr Dufty has not been seen since July.

The Gold Coast man is the third person charged over his disappearance.

Detective Superintendent David Hutchinson told the Gold Coast Bulletin police were not ruling out further arrests.

Earlier this month, former Bandidos bikie Lionel Patea, 24, and his New Zealand-born cousin Aaron Crawford, 27, were also charged with the 37-year-old's murder.


The man arrested on Wednesday will face Southport Magistrates Court on today.

Gregory John Dufty was last seen on July 6, when police believe he parked at a seafood restaurant, before being taken to the dead-end Nathan Homestead Road, at Mt Nathan, in a Mack truck.

"We believe at Nathan Homestead Road he got into another vehicle and that's the last sighting as such," Detective Superintendent Dave Hutchinson told media in July this year.

His disappearance came just days after arriving on the Gold Coast from Darwin.

Queensland police continue to appeal for witnesses and any information about where Mr Dufty's body is located.

At the beginning of November, the pool builder's family made an emotional plea for information about his whereabouts.

"He's my eldest son, I love him," his mother Margaret Dufty said, choking back tears.

"He has a beautiful heart, he loves his children, he loves [his partner] Shani [Mills], he loves his family.

"Someone must know something. We are asking they come forward with information."
