A woman alleged to have been murdered was in severe emotional distress and was dependent on others for financial support before she disappeared, a jury has heard.
Mark Sheridan Waden is being re-tried for the murder of former American beauty queen Priscilla Brooten, after the first trial was aborted on Tuesday due to juror misconduct.
Waden lived with Ms Brooten at the time of her disappearance in Brisbane's northern suburbs on July 5, 2018. Her body has never been found.
