Explosive DV allegations before suspected murder of missing mum

Shocking allegations of domestic violence, including that a bikie shot at and tried to run over his partner in the lead-up to the Gold Coast mum’s suspected murder, have been detailed in an explosive coronial report.

A Gold Coast mum told friends she was planning to leave her abusive bikie boyfriend before her disappearance a decade ago, saying “if you don’t hear from me, I’ll probably be six feet under”.

Tina Greer’s chilling premonition is one of several explosive revelations in a coronial report which details a history of domestic violence at the hands of her Finks boyfriend Les “Grumpy” Sharman as well as failures by police, but the report concluded that there was no need for an inquest into the suspected murder.

Coroner Christine Roney found Ms Greer was most likely killed by her boyfriend,who himself died in a car crash in 2018, but ruled “there is no public interest in holding an inquest into this matter”.

The decision has devastated Ms Greer’s daughter, Lili, who has vowed to keep fighting for justice.

Ms Greer had gone shopping for school supplies with Lili, then aged 13, in January 2012 before heading west from the Gold Coast to Sharman’s home near Boonah.

She was reported missing three days later and was never seen again.

Sharman, who had a mate take a 100kg load of materials including a mattress from his property to the tip just days later, refused to be formally interviewed by detectives and Ms Greer’s family feared he had taken his secrets to the grave when he died in December 2018.

However, police renewed their efforts in 2020 with the launch of a $250,000 reward and despite tip-offs leading to the search of a Gold Coast hinterland property, no further evidence was discovered.

A report was prepared for the State Coroner, with Ms Roney handing down her findings last month.

The Courier-Mail has now obtained a copy of the findings, which detail shocking allegations of domestic violence, including claims Sharman shot at his girlfriend and even tried to run her over.

Police responded to several incidents after calls from the public but Ms Greer refused to make a formal complaint.

On one occasion, witnesses told police Sharman turned up at Ms Greer’s house after they broke up and kicked her door in while young girls were there on a sleepover.

He eventually left but witnesses said the girls went to sleep “with knives under their beds”.

Just months before her disappearance, Ms Greer confided to a friend that she had packed her bags and was ready to leave Sharman for good.

“If you don’t hear from me, I’ll probably be six feet under,” she said.

Lili also told police that her mum had said: “I can’t leave him, he’ll kill me”.

According to mobile phone records, Ms Greer’s phone was active in the vicinity of Sharman’s property two days after he said she left his place, which the coroner noted was “in direct contradiction” with his version of events.

The report found “significant missed opportunities” for police investigating DV allegations surrounding Sharman but there was “insufficient evidence … to conclude that Tina’s death could have been prevented”.

Lili, now 23, said she would not give up in her search for justice and closure.

“I will do everything humanly possible and I’m not going to stop advocating for her case,” she said.
