The car, a silver 2001 Astra sedan with a distinctive pink licence plate, was found on Owen Street in Maribyrnong this morning.
Police said there were no signs of a struggle around the vehicle and the case was not being treated as suspicious.
Google maps is telling me it's only about a 40 minute drive, which is a lot closer than I expected. It also appears she (or whoever was in the car) was heading towards the city. Is there anyone/anything on Owen Street familiar to Sarah?
Is it known how long her car has been sitting there for?
Sgt Glenn Saw said the search for Ms Cafferkey had moved to the Maribyrnong and Footscray areas but police did not hold concerns for her safety. "At this stage we don't hold fears as such but obviously we do hold some sort of reservation to her safety in the fact that she does suffer from a medical condition which requires medication and we're not sure if she's got that with her," he said.
Sgt Saw said there was no indication of foul play inside her abandoned car.
It's almost sounding as though she's gone into hiding & doesn't want to be found.

From the snippets in the news, it sounds like this might be the case. I hope she is safe.It's almost sounding as though she's gone into hiding & doesn't want to be found.
I hope she's just gone off on her own, but I keep coming back to her puppy that was left at home. I think she would have taken him with her, especially taking into consideration her mum's comments about her taking her puppy everywhere with her. Does she live with her parents, or was she just visitin them Friday afternoon? If she lives with them it makes my reasoning a lot weaker, but I still find it hard to understand why she would leave him behind when she obviously cared so much about him. And if her car has been found, how is she travelling?
I'd much prefer her to be running away from something, but I just don't know.
