A young woman’s body has been found in the Southern Highlands of NSW after she went missing from Canberra last week.
The death of Mathilde Innes Pouliquin, who is understood to have preferred to be called ‘Ines’, is currently not being treated as suspicious, but police are still appealing for witnesses who may have seen a distinctive hail-damaged car over the weekend to come forward.
The 26-year-old Ms Pouliquin was last seen early on Friday morning (27 September) at her home in Dickson in Canberra, ACT Policing said last week.
Police began inquiries into her whereabouts and made two appeals to the public for information about her disappearance.
NSW Police found the body of a woman near Wells Creek at Berrima, in the Southern Highlands, at around 11:45 am on Sunday (29 September).
“The body has been formally identified as that of the missing woman,” a NSW Police spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said as investigations continue, police are appealing to anyone who might have seen or have dashcam footage of a red Volkswagen Golf sedan with ACT registration plates YOP57Z to contact them.
The car was travelling on the Hume Highway between the ACT and Berrima in the early hours of Friday morning and 10:45 am on Sunday.
“The vehicle is distinctive as it has significant hail damage to all panels of the vehicle,” the police spokesperson said.
“Initial inquiries suggest the woman’s death is not being treated as suspicious.
“A report outlining the circumstances of the woman’s death will be prepared by police for the information of the coroner.”
