Family haunted by missing loved one
Words: Carlie WalkerProducer: Simone Kealy
After almost nine years and a coronial inquest, the family of a missing Hervey Bay woman are no closer to getting the answers they need. 
Monique Clubb was just 24 when she went missing on June 22, 2013, after promising her mother, Sheena, she would soon return home to Hervey Bay following a trip to Brisbane.
The final sighting of Monique was in Hugh Muntz Park, where she was watched by a Beenleigh shopping centre security guard.
Her sister Minnie was 16 at the time Monique vanished.“It’s a pain you never stop feeling,” she told the Fraser Coast Chronicle
Although always smiling in photos, Monique’s life wasn’t always joyful.A car crash left her in constant pain and she developed a drug addiction.She was often in and out of court and in trouble with local police.
Minnie strongly feels the case was mismanaged.“It took two days to actually file Monique’s missing person report, it was pushed aside like she wasn’t important.”
A Queensland Police Service spokesman provided a response to a series of questions from the Chronicle regarding concerns raised by the inquest and Monique’s family.“Queensland Police Homicide Group are undertaking a review of the recommendations,” he said.
Police initially believed they were looking for a body in the park where Monique was last seen, believing she may have overdosed and died there.
Accusations were also made suggesting Monique’s body had been placed in a purple suitcase, according to the coroner’s reportA witness, who was later labelled as "unreliable" said she saw Daniel Murphy took a “purple suitcase and a bag containing female clothing out into the bush."
Deputy State Coroner Jane Bentley was critical of the police investigations, saying officers had failed to get Ms Clubb’s movements, despite available CCTV footage.
Minnie wants police to now offer a reward, with the aim of finding out what happened to Monique and to finally bring her home.New information and leads are vital if the case is ever to be solved, she said.“QPS has a case to investigate which they failed to do properly,” Minnie said.
The ongoing impact of Monique’s disappearance is one of the hardest things for the family to talk about.“(It’s) generation trauma we can’t kick,” Minnie said.
