South Coast Police are hoping the community might be able to help them find a Batemans Bay girl missing for almost two weeks.

Estelle McDonald of Catalina is 17 years old and was last seen at around 5 pm on Wednesday, April 3 at the Batehaven shops.

Police say she told her father that she was going to use the public toilets before heading home. She did not come home that evening.

She has not been seen or spoken to by her family since.

Estelle is caucasian, 155 – 160cm tall, with dark hair and medium build.

Officers from the South Coast Police District used Facebook earlier this evening (April 15) to raise the alarm. Community members have responded with words of support, shares, and prayers.

Georgina James, writes “Missing since the 3rd and we are hearing about it now on the 15th? Really hoping and praying that this poor girl is okay and safe. Please if you are safe let a family member know as soon as possible. Absolutely praying that something horrible hasn’t happened.”

“Hope you’re ok beautiful please make contact with 1 of us so we know you’re safe.” Sandy McDiarmid says.

Drew Andrew Dworcowyi, writes “Hope you’re OK Estelle. If you see this contact somebody just to let them know you’re safe and OK.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Batemans Bay Police on 4472 0099 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
