The Little One’s Agony
Was Gabriel always living a dual life? Or was he in need of help? Was someone else using his name? Or was he even alive? These questions remained unanswered. Jennifer was very young for all that was happening and kids use to tell how her father abandoned her and along with her mom and brother. “It was just so traumatic for everyone. It really affected me emotionally. People would ask, ‘Where’s your dad?’ It was too much – too painful,” remembered Jennifer.
Contradictory
“He’d never been away from home without telling anyone,” Jennifer recalled her father’s behavior. She further added, “nobody had any answers to explain the sudden disappearance of a dad who was a loving, caring father. I thought he was my world, and all of a sudden it’s taken away from me.”
Shifting Places
Tired of all the taunts and questions, Pamela, Stephen and Jennifer moved to the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, approximately 500 miles from Sydney. They left the house but never lost the hopes of Gabriel’s return. They kept their details updated in case he changed his mind and wants to return.
A Breakthrough
Gabriel went missing 23 years ago and the cold case investigators trying to get to the bottom of this weird case failed each time. Senior Constable Georgia Robinson was in charge of submitting the documents during the hearing at the coroner’s court so that the authorities could legally declare him deceased.
The Last Attempt
When Georgia tried to make one final attempt to track down Gabriel before submitting the documents, she found out a strange piece of information just a couple of weeks before the hearing. In her search, she discovered that the documents of Australia’s health authority Medicare mentioned a man named Gabriel Nagy in their records who underwent an eye surgery recently.
A Different Name
Georgia further checked the reports at Medicare and realized that this man also went by the name of Ron Saunders, and lived in Mackay, in the east Queensland, located more than 1,000 miles away from Jennifer’s dad’s missing location.
