Missing man's ex-girlfriend feared being 'jumped'

The former girlfriend of missing Queensland man Jack McLennan says she held fears for her own safety because of rumours surrounding his disappearance.Mr McLennan, 27, vanished in mysterious circumstances near the town of Murgon in 2024, immediately after breaking up with Carlee Beetham.For the first time, Ms Beetham has provided the ABC's true crime podcast Unravel with a detailed account of what happened in the days leading up to his disappearance, and the accusations that have been levelled at her since."Jack's situation is not normal at all," Ms Beetham said."But people are saying things and pointing fingers."What pisses me off is that everyone goes, 'She wanted him dead and this and that.'"No He's never been to the point where he was grabbing me."I was on my own with this 100-kilo man who was raging and seeing red."As soon as I called the cops, his whole energy changed."He kind of clicked and went 'righto', and got out."According to Ms Beetham's account, the dispute on Thursday involved a verbal argument and was less serious.After moving his belongings out of their shared house, Mr McLennan disappeared later that night.Despite the tumult of their final week together, Ms Beetham said she would likely have reunited with Mr McLennan had he not disappeared."I guess I just want everyone to know that no matter me moving on … I will still always love Jack no matter what, and he will forever be in my heart."Every day, I wish that he would walk through that door and this … would just end and that would be it
