Over a year later, police have issued a fresh appeal for information into the death.
The man’s death is being treated as “suspicious”, police said.
Investigations revealed that Malcolm had suffered injuries to his face and hands, and although his body was found in the creek, he did not appear to have drowned.
Detective Chief Inspector Rod Blackman, said detectives will leave no stone unturned in the search for answers.
“We are hoping this appeal might spark the memory of someone who might have spoken to Malcolm or seen him in the period before his death,” he said.
“The past 18 months have been extremely challenging for Malcolm’s family and it’s time for those with information to come forward.”
Malcolm’s sister, Kathleen Howard, said their family needed answers to gain some sense of closure.
“There are people out there that know what happened to Malcolm, and his last moments,” she said.
“We are asking anybody that knows anything — doesn’t matter whether it’s small — to please go and see the Muswellbrook police.”
Detectives are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
