Daughter pleads for help to find missing mum
Written by admin on July 8, 2024
The daughter of a Victorian mother who has been missing for more than a month says she just wants to “know that she’s okay” as police continue to search for her.
Renee, 42, left her home on Western Hwy, Warrenheip in regional Victoria about 1.25pm on May 30 and hasn’t been found since.
The woman left her home with her black cat, Shadow, which was later found outside a nearby home.
About 6am on June 2, Renee rang the doorbell of a home on Buchanan Dr and asked the resident for clothing and water.
In footage captured by the home’s doorbell, Renee could be seen shivering on the front porch before crouching down to layer a second jumper over her clothes.
Renee then left the property holding two bottles of water.
Renee’s daughter Bianca Tayla-King, 22, told media both she and her brothers are hoping for a “best case scenario”.
“If there’s chance that my mum sees this, I just want her to know that even if she doesn’t want to be found, we just want to know that she’s okay, and just for her to contact me or my brothers,” she said according to the Herald Sun.
“She didn’t say anything that would alarm any of us or that she’d be going missing.”
Ms Tayla-King said the entire family are “really worried” as they continue to search for Renee.
“If she needs any help, we’re here to help,” she said.
Police and family hold concerns for Renee’s welfare, as temperatures in the area continue to plummet.
Adding to police concerns, Renee has not accessed her bank accounts in more than a month.
