The desperate family of a missing South Australian mother-of-six has turned to unconventional methods in their increasingly urgent search, clinging to fading hope that she might still be found alive. Trisha Graf, aged 41, vanished under mysterious circumstances, with her last confirmed sighting occurring at 2am on December 12, 2025, as she drove along Dunstan Drive in the remote outback town of Andamooka, located approximately 610 kilometers northwest of Adelaide.
A Frantic Search Begins
Concern escalated rapidly when Ms. Graf failed to return home. Her partner, Tony Gregory, alongside a friend, initiated a frantic search just hours after her disappearance. By midday, they had located her abandoned vehicle near Blue Dam, a short distance from the small mining community. The car was found damaged and undrivable, adding to the growing alarm.
Police Investigation Intensifies
South Australian police have since declared the case a major crime investigation. Extensive searches have been conducted, involving aerial sweeps, ground teams, divers combing nearby dams, and door-to-door inquiries in the isolated town. Authorities have scoured mine shafts, septic tanks, and residential properties, yet no trace of Ms. Graf has been discovered, deepening the mystery.
Family's Desperate Plea to Psychics
In a poignant sign of their growing desperation, Ms. Graf's daughter, Montanah Shaw-Graf, has sought assistance from psychics, hoping for any clue that might lead to her mother. She posted a heartfelt plea in the Facebook group "Free Psychic Readings," writing, "My beautiful mother has been missing since 12th December 2025. Can I please get a reading? I just want to know if she is safe or not, or anything that will help bring her home."
Psychic Responses Offer Mixed Messages
Several psychics responded quickly to the online appeal, many offering messages of cautious optimism. Rachel Lovski suggested, "I feel she has mixed with the wrong people and is laying low." Kiara Giaretto added, "I sense a feeling she is ok, she is hiding from a particular person and doesn't want to be found. She wants to come back and will in her own time." An anonymous user contributed, "I'm getting a dark feeling she was trying to hide from someone."
Notably, Queensland psychic Rochelle Beattie, who claims a history of aiding in missing person cases globally, joined the conversation. She provided a hand-drawn map featuring elements like a red brick wall, a sign, and annotations including "red," "yellow," "open room," "brothers," and the names "Gary" and "Tim." Ms. Beattie advised police to "look for a grey shed near the airfield," explaining, "When I remote viewed, she had planes and a fence in front of her so I'm assuming it's a nearby airfield." She regularly shares such insights on TikTok regarding high-profile disappearances.
Reconstructing the Final Hours
As investigators piece together Ms. Graf's last known movements, details have emerged about the night she vanished. She was seen at the Roxby Downs Hotel with a friend before leaving in a white 2012 Ford Territory, accompanied by Kymberley Conniff, another Andamooka resident. During the return journey, police report that Ms. Graf struck a kangaroo just outside the town. Despite the accident, they proceeded into Andamooka and visited a house in the north-western area.
Shortly before 2am, Ms. Graf departed that address for what should have been a five-minute drive home. She was last spotted on Dunstan Drive. Mr. Gregory awoke to find her missing and began searching, eventually discovering the damaged vehicle.
Family's Heartbreak and Hope
Ms. Graf's mother, Anne, who resides 600 kilometers south in the Barossa Valley, expressed deep fear, stating her daughter would never abandon her children "in a million years" and suspecting foul play. However, some relatives maintain hope. Cousin Stacey Lee Van de Wiel commented on the psychic readings, saying, "Trisha Graf is one tough cookie... I believe she is out there and I believe she will come home. Her whole entire family love her and miss her so very much." Another family member, Janelle Graf-Cox, supported the psychic efforts, sharing, "I hope they have some answers for you. My heart breaks for you, for all of us."
The case remains active, with police and State Emergency Service teams continuing their efforts, while the family's turn to psychics underscores the profound anguish and relentless pursuit of answers in this troubling disappearance.
