As part of Operation Oscar Mantic, detectives investigating the suspected murder of Wayne Youngkin in 1986 are today conducting a search of bushland at Sandgate, Queensland Police say.
Mr Youngkin’s remains were discovered on November 29 last year in a disused tank in the yard of a North Street home in Brighton.
