Coronial inquest begins into the 2016 disappearance of Darwin man, Richard Roe | ABC News

What happened to Richard Roe? It's a question that's haunted the missing Darwin man's family for seven years, since his car was found abandoned in a remote rural area on the side of the Stuart Highway in November 2016. For the first time, they've had a chance to learn what may have happened, with an inquest into his disappearance hearing about a loving father. The inquest heard Mr Roe's life had "spiralled out of control" after he'd become entangled in the murky methamphetamine trade of rural Darwin. Detectives have long voiced the strong possibility that Mr Roe was murdered due to his drug trade links, which will be probed over the four-day inquest.
