House at centre of famous Outback cold case of missing Paddy Moriarty and his ... trends now
The house at the centre of the Outback cold case mystery of the man and his dog who vanished from a tiny remote town is up for auction today.
Paddy Moriarty and his red kelpie cross Kellie were last seen leaving the Pink Panther Hotel in the Northern Territory town of Larrimah, population 12 - now seven - on the afternoon of December 16, 2017.
Irish-born Mr Moriarty, who had been engaged in a feud with his nearest neighbours in the flyspeck of a town, was headed for his home 280m away from the pub.
Last seen wearing a singlet, dark shorts, a silver watch and black thongs, the 70-year-old got onto his red quad bike with Kellie and was gone.
Neither Paddy nor Kellie were ever seen alive again, nor have their bodies been found.
Now in one of the final chapters of the mystery, his home is set to go under the hammer when it comes up for sale on Tuesday.
Paddy Moriarty 'was killed' after a feud with his neighbours in 2017, but the bodies of the Outback man and his dog have never been found. Now his house in the tiny town of Larrimah is up for sale
Paddy's house in Larrimah, Population 7, is being auctioned in the Northern Territory after he was killed in December 2017 and his remains never recovered
Larrimah, population seven, lies 999km north of Alice Springs and 498km south of Darwin along the Stuart Highway
The rundown fibro home in Larrimah, located on the Stuart Highway 498km south of Darwin and 999 km north of Alice Springs, is being sold as-is and may struggle to reach six figures.
But estate agents hope its connection to the notorious case may trigger an unlikely bidding war.
Mr Moriarty's disappearance from such a small community - whose population has now reportedly dwindled to seven - sparked wild rumours of murder and a grisly end.
Stories about Paddy ending up in local handmade pies, or in the belly of Sneaky Sam, the Pink Panther's resident crocodile, have swirled around the mystery.
