South Australian police have renewed search efforts for Trisha Graf, a 41-year-old woman missing in the outback for 16 days. Graf was last seen in the early hours of Friday 12 December in the Roxby Downs area, approximately 510km north of Adelaide.
Graf was driving a white 2012 Ford Territory with SA registration S254BCX. Her vehicle was found abandoned and unable to be driven near Blue Dam, east of Andamooka, on 13 December. Despite extensive air and ground searches, including specialist dive teams, no trace of Graf has been found.
On Monday, police expanded aerial searches, focusing on the area between Blue Dam and Andamooka, 32km from Roxby Downs. The search aims to cover ground not previously examined during earlier operations.
Police hold grave fears for Graf's safety and urge anyone with information about her whereabouts or movements prior to her disappearance to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestopperssa.com.au.
