- Last known activity was purchasing phone credit and driving home.
- Police find no evidence of voluntary disappearance, family seeks answers.
A mother of four, Yvonne Whear, 73, has been missing for six months, leaving her family in a state of ambiguous loss. Whear was last seen on February 19th, after leaving her art class in Murwillumbah, New South Wales. CCTV footage captured her buying phone credit and driving towards her home in Dungay.
Her phone's last recorded activity was at 4:48 PM that day. Later that evening, her gold Ford Escape wagon was reportedly sighted near her property, though not officially confirmed. Her phone pinged one last time the following morning before going silent.
Police are treating the disappearance seriously, stating there is no evidence to suggest Whear voluntarily left. Extensive searches involving drones, helicopters, and sonar equipment have been conducted. Her daughter, Gillian Hallac, believes foul play may be involved and that someone knows more about her mother's whereabouts.
Hallac has been caring for her mother's numerous animals and finds herself in limbo, yearning for answers and closure. The family continues to appeal for information to understand what happened to Yvonne Whear.
