Rosemary Brown

Melissa Brown

Morning Walk Into Oblivion

Rosemary and Melissa Brown went for a walk in the early hours of Saturday, May 13, 2000- they were never seen alive again.
Seven weeks later, the decomposing body of Rosemary, 33, was found in the Garden Island mangroves. Despite several unconfirmed sightings, her daughter Melissa has never been found.
Detective Senior Constable Jeff Brown said the case had been "frustrating" with virtually no leads since 2003.
"It is bewildering, somebody has to know something about the case." Sen-const Brown said. "We have exhausted all lines of inquiry since the case was reviewed in 2003, but it stills remains open.
"Rosemary mixed with a lot of people so if we can re-jog someone's memory it may help us (solve) it."
The Brown family had been living at the Windsor Gardens caravan park just weeks before they vanished. Rosemary and Melissa, then 15, had moved into a caravan in a friend's backyard at Blair Athol a short time befor they had disappeared.
Rosemary's son, Nathan Davidson, then 11, was staying with friends at Windsor Gardens. Where Rosemary and Melissa were going when they left their caravan at 2:30am remains unclear.
Police investigated whether they hed been going to meet Nathan- but evidence had them headed in a different direction.
Rosemary's yellow bag was found at Northfield, about noon on the day of they went missing.
A few weeks later Police interviewed a former South Australian man living in Victoria in relation to the disappearance.
Then Rosemary's body was found in the North Arm of Port River, close to a jetty off Grand Trunkway, on July 2, 2000.
The Victorian man was interviewed again in April, 2003, but the case remains unresolved.
Melissa is described as being 162cm tall, of thin build, with dark shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. Sen-const Brown urged anyone with information to contact Crimestoppers.
"Callers can remain anonymous but if anyone knows something about the case please contact police," he said.
