## Resource

A haunting inquest in Townsville closes the chapter on Ben Chisholm’s disappearance from Magnetic Island in 2022, with no body found despite a year-long, massive search. His family, still clinging to hope, described the past four years as a nightmare, recalling Ben’s deep love for the island. Security footage yielded nothing, his clothes were found scattered near a bush track, and he vanished without phone, cash, or ID. Witnesses noted he seemed altered—distant, dishevelled, possibly impaired. Experts praised the search’s thoroughness, suggesting he may have stripped and fallen in the island’s treacherous bush. Police found no signs of foul play, but digital clues were blocked by international privacy laws. The coroner’s final verdict looms.
