    Circumstances of Disappearance
    Rodgers was last seen leaving his home in Albion Park, Western Australia at approximately 7:00 AM on October 26, 1989. He was supposed to report for work at Australian Industrial Refractories in Thiroul, New South Wales; he never arrived and has not been seen since. He was a metallurgist and also holds a MBA.
    His car was found parked at Mt Kembla on October 28. Several friends saw Grant after he was reported missing, but were ignored by him which was out of character for him.
