Glad to read this case is gaining momentum and getting much needed exposure in online news such as Daily Mail & Daily Telegraph.
From the latest police released image (see attached) she looks to be a passenger in a SUV. Was this an Uber (or equivalent ride service) trip. For some reason, the police did not reveal too much about the car. Perhaps, it's not considered to be significant to the case. Who knows, it may well be a confirmed point-to-point Uber (or other ride service) trip that occurred earlier in the day.
If not an uber (or similar ride service), then someone she knows drove her around that hot sunny day. Someone she is comfortable with where she doesn't bother to wear a face mask in the car. That someone either rented or owns a micron grey Hyundai Tucson Highlander badged model^^. In the police released photo, it certainly looks like the top of the range 2018, 2019 or 2020 model Hyundai Tucson.
If Police consider the car significant, providing details about the make/model to the public (via media) may provide some helpful information to those who have dashcam or CCTV/Webcams outside their business or home (around main roads of Lane Cove, Artarmon, North Sydney, Crows Nest, Greenwich, Riverview, and St Leonards). Most popular CCTV/webcams and some dashcams offer cost effective cloud backup subscription service that store video recordings for a month or two (Arlo 30 days and Ring 60 days).
Or there is the possibility of a grey Hyundai Tucson Highlander with NSW number plates cruising the streets of Melbourne. From latest news articles, Police believe she may have traveled there for work opportunities.
@ubair, do you know what side of Centennial drive (Southbound or northbound) her items were found, where exactly on Centennial Dr, and what time?
If northbound (towards Lane Cove North) then she may have come up to Centennial drive from Burns Bay Road. There was a confirmed sighting in North Sydney in the afternoon (Bunnings sighting was in the late morning). The route many would take from North Syd to Centennial drive during the late afternoon would be via Greenwich. Specifically, the route that takes you along River Road, Norwood Road, River Road W, Bridge Penrose Streets, and right onto Burns Bay road.
Or she ended up back in the city after North Sydney and took the Victoria Road route over the Gladesville Bridge to Centennial via Burns Bay Road?
In the comments of a Facebook NSW police post relating to the case, two passing motorists mentioned they saw a similar looking woman sitting under the Hunters Hill overpass on Burns Bay Road around 6.30pm on the day she went missing. They did not say what side of the road. This is an odd place to sit as there is no pedestrian access. The poster of the comment did say they passed on this information to Crimestoppers.
If southbound (heading towards Burns Bay Road), then I would assume Police have checked CCTV of the BP service station on the corner of Epping Road and Centennial drive and other locations between the obvious routes (Pacific Highway or Freeway to Epping road) to Centennial Drive from North Sydney. There is also a Motorcycle dealership on the corner of Epping Road and Centennial and should have CCTV.
Were the items she purchased from Bunnings located also on Centennial drive?
Also, another observation is her Gumtree profile now shows 6 items listed for sale as of today. A few weeks ago, there were 11 or 13 items. Can someone verify if Gumtree pulls seller ads after a period of time, or if a listing can be set to auto delete after the seller sets a duration. If no, then someone has deleted 5 or more ads.
^^ This is just by my observation only and not confirmed. Compare for yourself. If you focus on the antenna, contours of doors, under door side skirting, panoramic sunroof.
I should thank you first for your contributions
