Tragic end to search for man

THE search for a missing Ballandean man has come to a tragic end with Queensland Police confirming the body of Keiran Wilson has been located.

The 26-year-old was last seen around 9am on Friday, May 13, driving away from his Ballandean home.

In the days since, Mr Wilson failed to make contact with family or friends, and an extensive land and air search was conducted to try and locate him.

A Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said the search had been temporarily suspended on May 18 until flood waters receded.

“Police on foot and horseback, SES volunteers, police dive squad, swift water rescue, local property owners, helicopters and drones have assisted in the extensive search operation since May 15,” the spokeswoman said.

The spokeswoman confirmed the search recommenced through areas that were previously underwater and unsafe to search.
