He failed to turn up for work and did not collect his pay. Redman took no money, bank books or personal belongings.


Victoria Police investigators believe Owen Redman may have moved to an outlying Aboriginal settlement or cattle station in either Western Australia or the Northern Territory.


To date Mr. Redman has not contacted any family members or friends who remain concerned for his welfare. It is believed Mr. Redman may have changed his surname to Moore.


A letter to Redman's brother written in 1992, stating that Owen had died of a drug overdose, is believed by the brother to have been written by Redman himself. Ongoing investigations through the years have been fruitless.

We had a thread on Owen before our site crashed on 1-2-2020. His brother, Dylan, was actively posting with us for awhile. He will never stop looking for his brother! My hope is that we never forget him.

Owen still missing after three decades​

Pakenham’s Dylan Redman describes the bond between him and his older brother Owen as “typical” of male siblings.

Five years his junior, Dylan, the “annoying little brother”, wanted to go wherever Owen did, and followed him into the world of music, where he has made a living as a drummer and drum teacher, influenced by a love of bands like Led Zeppelin and The Police.

He’d love to see a live band with his brother at one of Melbourne’s iconic live music venues one day, such as Richmond’s Corner Hotel or the Hotel Esplanade in St Kilda.

But Dylan hasn’t seen Owen for 31 years, since he and his father reported him as missing on Thursday 21 February, 1991.



When asked what he would say to his brother if they had the chance to reunite, Dylan kept it simple, and heartfelt.

“I’d just want him to know that it’s OK to reconnect. There’d be no hard feelings, no judgement, I’d happily accept him back into our lives.

“I’d love to shout him a coffee or a beer at a pub with no expectations or complications.

“I hope that one day I can get a chance to chat to him again.”

Dylan is such a nice guy. I hope his wish becomes reality.

AI update:

The latest development in the investigation of Owen Redman, a 25-year-old Greenpeace worker who vanished from Brunswick, Victoria in February 1991, centers on potential links to Australia's most notorious serial killer. [1, 2]

The Ivan Milat Theory
Owen's brother, Dylan Redman, recently went public with fears that Owen may have fallen victim to Ivan Milat, the infamous backpacker killer. This development emerged following revelations that Milat—who died in prison in 2019—could have been responsible for up to 80 unsolved murders and disappearances. [1]
For over three decades, Dylan believed his brother might have walked away to start a new life in a remote location like Alice Springs or an Aboriginal settlement. However, given Owen's sudden disappearance while hitchhiking or traveling, the family is now considering the possibility that his path crossed with Milat. [1]

Background on the Disappearance

• The Vanishing: Owen left his West Brunswick rental on February 21, 1991, in a distressed state following a breakup. He failed to show up for his job as a subscription salesman for Greenpeace and never collected his paycheck. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• Left Behind: He left behind all personal items, including his money, bankbooks, passport, and even his contact lens cleaning kit. [1, 2]
• Potential Aliases: Investigators have historically explored whether Owen chose to disappear intentionally, suspecting he might have used the names Owen Moore, Stuart Moore, or Simon Moore while working on cattle stations or remote communities in Western Australia or the Northern Territory. [1, 2]

Dylan Redman continues to maintain the Find Owen Redman Facebook Community to keep the search alive. Anyone with any information regarding Owen Redman's whereabouts is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000.
