Partner assisting with inquiries as cold case disappearance of Priscilla Brooten becomes a homicide investigationPolice excavate Brisbane property in search for US woman missing since JulyQueensland police are excavating the front yard of a home in Brisbane’s north where a missing American woman lived with her partner. Priscilla Brooten was formally reported missing in December last year but the 46-year-old was last seen in July, in Bracken Ridge. The pair had been in a relationship for a year before Brooten disappeared and police say the man failed to report her missing. Police dogs had pinpointed a narrow strip of land in the front yard alongside the driveway where the search was concentrated. Hogan said Brooten was a keen gamer and appealed to her friends in the online gaming community to come forward with information.
