The individual in question has been interviewed by authorities and subsequently released while further investigations are conducted.
Brendan was last seen by his girlfriend at the Hilton hotel located in South Wharf back in April 2012. This marked the beginning of a troubling mystery that has yet to be solved.
Brendan’s absence was felt profoundly by his family. He missed his daughter’s wedding approximately a month after his disappearance, and tragically, four years later, he was not present at her funeral.
Adding to the mystery, Brendan’s bank accounts and phone records have remained untouched since he vanished, providing no clues or leads for investigators.
Authorities have concluded that Brendan most likely met with foul play, a grim determination announced by the police last month.
Police said Brendan – also known as Brendan Green, Brian Greer and Brendan Lacombe – had previously been charged with fraud offences and spent “several years” in jail.
“There are a number of aspects about his disappearance that continue to give us cause for concern, especially the length of time he has been missing with no trace whatsoever,” Missing persons squad Inspector Dave Dunstan said.
“We know he had a number of associates who were also known to police, and while they have been spoken to over the years, this remains an active avenue of enquiry for investigators.”
Brendan is the brother of St Kilda great Barry Breen, who kicked the winning point in the Saints’ only premiership win in 1966.
