The search for missing 53-year-old Koumala woman, Helen Barnett, has continued today with police coordinating a land and air search.
“Multiple agencies assisted in today’s grid search of dense farmland on the 53-year-old’s Turnors Paddock Road property where she was last seen at around 3pm on Sunday, February 13,” Queensland Police said in a statement this evening.
“Police have been coordinating search efforts since Helen was reported missing and today saw 27 SES volunteers along with five Rural Fire Service volunteers and police scouring bushland and grasslands, which at times was up to a metre high.”
The RACQ CQ Rescue helicopter completed a reconnaissance mission late this afternoon and tomorrow’s land search – which is expected to be bolstered by 30 new search personnel – will resume from 7am.
Drones and quad bikes will also be used in the search, Police said.
