More details shared in search for missing young mother
As the desperate search for Tayla Spies, a young mum who has been missing in western Queensland for almost two weeks continues, police have released CCTV footage in hopes of helping locate her.
The 29-year-old mum was last seen leaving a hotel in Dalby about 8am on Sunday February 2.
“We have grave concerns about the health and safety of Tayla,” Detective Chief Inspector Garry Watts told the ABC.
“She had a birthday just recently, she didn’t make any contact with family, which is really out of character.”
Tayla turned 29 just six days after she went missing.
CCTV footage showed her carrying a large bag into her her white Toyota HiLux, before she travelled towards Surat, a small town in the state's south west.
Her vehicle, with the plate number 559 GJ7 and a distinctive black bumper bar and blacked-out wheels, was seen at the intersection of Burrowes Street and Cordelia Street in Surat at 11.10am.
Tayla was last seen wearing a fluorescent pink long sleeve shirt and light-coloured shorts, according to police.
However, in a social media update, her sister Rebecca said she might now be wearing different clothes.
“She did end up changing into a white shirt with purple writing on it and a Mimco shoulder bag in the afternoon on Sunday,” she wrote.
Her family have also appealed to the public for any information on the missing mum.
“Please, if anyone has seen Tayla or her car, report it asap! We just want to know she’s okay and safe!”
Police are urging anyone who was travelling between Dalby, Surat and surrounding areas, between the hours of 10.30am and 12.30pm on Sunday February 2, to check their dashcam footage.
