Police suspend search for missing Tewantin woman

It has been more than three weeks since Evonne Bond, 73, went missing from Tewantin and police have now officially suspended the search.

An extensive search and rescue operation began on 27 December after the missing woman’s car, a white 2018 Hyundai Kona, was found by a member of the public at Sunrise Beach in Noosa.

The search continued on and off for several weeks, involving police, SES and Lifeflight, however nothing of interest was found.

Police have liaised closely with Evonne’s family during this time.

While the physical search has been suspended, police continue to appeal to anyone with information that may assist in locating Evonne to come forward.

Evonne was last seen at a property in Tewantin at 11pm on Friday 15 December and has not been seen or heard from since.

Police and family hold concerns for her welfare as she has a medical condition.

Evonne is described as Caucasian in appearance, approximately 160cm tall with a slim build, with short grey hair, and blue eyes.

Police are appealing to Evonne or anyone who may have seen her to contact them.
