BOYS living in a Salvation Army-run children's home in Brisbane were flown to Sydney by a millionaire hardware store owner to be sexually abused, with at least one victim who never returned possibly being murdered. Senior officers at the Indooroopilly boys' home also moved an alleged child-rapist to NSW, "otherwise he would have ended up in jail", the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has heard.

Giving evidence yesterday, retired Salvation Army Major Cliff Randall said he was working at the home in 1975 when boys started disappearing for days at a time and returned noticeably subdued.
