Fenwick inquest hears drowning or lost more likely than murder
Steven Fenwick disappeared on January 31, 2019. Investigators believe he drowned or got lost rather than being murdered.
Steven Fenwick disappeared from Corroba Oval on January 31, 2019, at age 33, and his disappearance created a local mystery for seven years. Searches, appeals, and a $500,000 reward were made.
Investigators believe he drowned or got lost while on drugs. Murder seems less likely.
His clothes, phone, and some tobacco were found about 250 metres away. They were near Stockton Beach and an old cricket oval.
Four theories are being studied. One: overdose or foul play at a house.
Two: a fight at the oval. Three: getting lost in bushland.
Four: going into the water. His family hopes the inquest gives them answers.
Then they can lay him to rest.
