Australia Australia (SA) Trisha Graf, 41, Missing from Andamooka since 12 Dec 2025

For the paying for the beer part, maybe she had some money but not enough.

Perhaps she didn't realise how much some products keep going up and often it's a price rise overnight.

And maybe her partner fell asleep. Trisha and her friend didn't leave the Roxby Downs Hotel until 12:19am.
I wonder what time she arrived at Roxby Downs Hotel.

"Ms Conniff learned that Trisha hadn't made it home."
So where was home, Opal Creek?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Maybe she didn't have enough money to pay for the beer on her card.
Perhaps all the money she had was in cash and there was none left on the card.

And maybe her partner gave her the money for the beer, and she either didn't want to or couldn't pay the extra herself.

Apparently home is near the entry point of Andamooka (as described by The Advertiser). So that would be on the Roxby Downs side of Andamooka.

As it sounds as if she went (after the Roxby hotel) to Dunstan Avenue in Andamooka ... it should have taken her about 3 minutes to drive home from there, according to Google Maps.

Or maybe the whole scenario is a fabrication created by Kymmy. (The friend) how long were they at the hotel to pick up the takeaway beer?

Does the 'unnamed man' actually exist? Surely you would check the funds of your account/purse before making a journey through the desert at night to another town.

Why didn't her husband (Tony) go with her to collect the beer?
Finally, was it declared that she actually left her friends at all?

There are two school age children at home. I think an adult would have had to stay with them.

I wonder about these people .... “We know there were people who were with Trisha at both the Roxby Downs Hotel and who saw her after she returned to Andamooka and we need to speak with them.’’

Are these people not in Roxby or Andamooka any more?
Where did they go?
Or have those people chosen not to speak with the detectives?

The Advertiser has more details about Trisha ... (paraphrased)


Trisha and her partner Tony moved to Andamooka 8 months ago - with 2 school age children. Trisha has 6 children.

Trisha and her friend, Ms Conniff, had gone to Roxby Downs hotel that night to pick up takeaway beer for Trisha's partner.
When they got to the pub, Trisha didn't have money for the beer - so an unnamed man paid for the beer.

When Trisha left Ms Conniff's family friend's place in Andamooka at about 2am, Ms Conniff says Trisha was clear headed and had very little alcohol in her system.

Tony went to Ms Conniff's place in the morning and said to her stepfather that Trisha and Ms Conniff hadn't come back. That was when Ms Conniff learned that Trisha hadn't made it home.

Trisha's car was apparently found with the passenger seatbelt clicked in, the headlights were on, the windows were down, the car was locked, no keys.

BBM: Her car was “found with the passenger seatbelt clicked in,”

I am really curious about this detail.
The only reason I know of to do this is when something heavy is in the seat and triggering the seatbelt alarm.

Anyone have any other ideas or explanations?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I've never known anyone to click the seatbelt in when no one is sitting there.
Maybe a neat freak.

Oh from googling I see that some people do keep their seatbelts clicked in to avoid seatbelt warnings.

Oh wait I do remember now that quite a few people I do know do keep the seatbelt clicked in and I didn't get until now why they would have done that.

No one has been named as a person of interest as far as I know.
