Police and volunteers are scouring dense bushland for a young woman who mysteriously vanished at the weekend.

Lucinda Miller, 24, was last seen in the Melbourne suburb of Dandenong around 11am last Sunday.
She ordered a rideshare drive which dropped her off near a bush track along McDougal Road in Neerim South

The trail is about 2.5kilometres from the young woman's home.

There are now 50 police officers, including a dog squad, and volunteers searching for Ms Miller in dense bushland.

Police have also interviewed the rideshare driver who dropped Ms Miller off but there is no evidence to suggest they were involved in her disappearance.
Victoria Police Inspector Peter Fusinato said Ms Miller was familiar with the bush trail to her house and said it was strange she never came home.


'There's tracks all the way through it, it's out of character that she didn't come home,' he said.

He added there was 'no indication' that a 'second party' was involved in her disappearance.





Why get dropped off so far from her home, and along a bush track.
Maybe she didn't have the fare to be taken all the way home ?

This is not sounding too good :(

We had a potential witness who had a sighting of Lucinda at 4pm on Monday, who was out of the search zone we’ve been working on for a few days," he said.

"The credible sighting — which certainly fits the description of Lucinda — was more south of the property she resides at, focused at Buln Buln towards Warragul.

"So we’ve moved a bit of our focus into that area.

"We just want to put that out there to the rural people who live in the area and anyone who had been there at the time."

Police have also interviewed the Uber driver and declared there was no foul play involved.

"At this stage we have absolutely no indication that a second party has been involved in Lucinda's disappearance," Inspector Fusinato said.


 
"We've had a survivability assessment done, the time frames for that if she doesn't have food and water, probably have passed," he said.

"We've spoken to the family in regards to that, they're very aware of that situation.



Police also looking into the possibility Lucinda may not want to be found according to this same article …
 

New sighting of missing woman​

Inspector Fusinato revealed to Yahoo News Australia that as of yesterday's search, new information has been uncovered about Ms Miller's potential location.

"The credible sighting — which certainly fits the description of Lucinda — was more south of the property she resides at, focused at Buln Buln towards Warragul.

Ms Miller was spotted in Dandenong, in Melbourne's southeast, around 11am before she travelled east to McDougal Road

'Close friends of a missing Victorian woman who disappeared five days ago after being dropped off by a rideshare driver have revealed her phone has been switched off'

'We're talking to all property owners in that area, checking all the rivers, creeks, roadways, tracks,' Inspector Fusinato said.

'So any property owners... be mindful that she may have wandered onto your properties and we just ask if you could check all your buildings or outbuildings just make sure that no-one has either been there or Lucinda is still located within your property.'

'Anyone who has seen of has information about Ms Miller is urged to call Warragul Police Station on 5622 7111.'
 

A concerning update has been revealed in the case of a missing Melbourne woman who disappeared nearly a week ago.

Lucinda Miller has not been seen since 11am last Sunday, when she was dropped off by a rideshare driver 2.5km away from her home in West Gippsland, Victoria.
Now it has been revealed that the 24-year-old’s phone was no longer active just one day after she vanished.

''Inspector Fusinato said, “We are speaking with every landowner in that region and investigating every river, stream, road, and trail.”
“Therefore, any property owners… be cautious that she may have gone into your properties and we simply ask that you check all your buildings or outbuildings to make sure that neither no one has been there nor Lucinda is still positioned inside your land,” the message reads.
Inspector Fusinato thought it odd that she never returned home since he knew the forest track to her house.
He suggested that Ms. Miller may not wish to be located.
She could have left on her own own or, more likely, she wounded herself. According to Inspector Fusinato, we’re not really certain.
But we’re pursuing the hypothesis that Lucinda may not want the family to be aware of her return.''
 
If you compare the two photos of her, in the one in the pink top she looks happy, healthy, and vibrant. In the blue-background (ID photo?) she looks terribly thin, has deep bags under her eyes and her hair looks thin and unhealthy. I'd say this young woman was going through something.
