Disappearance of Tony Jones
Anthony John Jones is an Australian man who disappeared at the age of 20 while backpacking in North Queensland in November 1982. The case garnered substantial mass media attention, with critics charging that police mishandled the investigation into Jones' disappearance.
==Disappearance==
At the time of his disappearance, Jones, a native of Perth, Western Australia, was in the last stages of a six-month working holiday around Australia. After quick visits to Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, and Sydney, he settled for several months in Brisbane, before finally setting off on the homeward leg of the journey with his brother Tim across the top of Australia.
For three weeks Tim rode a bicycle and Tony hitchhiked. They communicated by phoning relatives and leaving messages for each other. Along the way they met up briefly at Mackay and Airlie Beach and spent a week together in Townsville, where they shared a caravan with two fellow travelers at the Sun City Caravan Park in Rosslea.
When Tim began the 900 km bike ride out west to Mount Isa, Tony set off alone on 28 October 1982 for a side trip to Cairns. When he arrived back in Townsville on 3 November 1982, he telephoned his family and girlfriend in Perth. He was surprised to learn that Tim had already reached Mount Isa. He also learned that his mother had just topped up his bank account with $150, money that was to be shared with Tim. He made no more phone calls and did not use his bank account again. Tony never made it to Mount Isa.〔Jones, BA (1988). ''Searching for Tony: Profile of a Missing Person''. Spectrum Publications, Melbourne. ISBN 0-86786-224-6.〕
