The daughter of a Victoria mother who has been missing for more than a month says she just “wants to know she’s OK” as police continue to search for her.
Renee, 42, left her home on the Western Highway in Warrenheip in regional Victoria at about 1.25pm on May 30 and has not been found since.
The woman left her home with her black cat, Shadow, who was later found in front of a nearby house.
Renee, 42, left her home on Western Hwy, Warrenheip in regional Victoria at about 1.25pm on May 30 and has not been found since.
On June 2, at approximately 6 a.m., Renee rang the doorbell at a home on Buchanan Dr. She asked the resident for clothing and water.
Footage from the home’s doorbell shows Renee shivering on the porch before crouching down to put on a second sweater over her clothes.
Renee then left the building with two bottles of water.
Renee’s 22-year-old daughter, Bianca Tayla-King, told media that both she and her brothers are hoping for the “best case scenario”.
“If there is any chance my mother sees this, I want her to know that even though she doesn’t want to be found, we want to know she is OK and that she contacts me or my brothers,” she said, according to the Herald Sun.
“She didn’t say anything that would alert us or that she might be missing.”

Mrs Tayla-King said the whole family is ‘really worried’ as they continue to search for Renee.
“If she needs help, we’re here to help,” she said.
Police and family are concerned for Renee’s welfare as temperatures in the area continue to drop.
Police are even more concerned because Renee has not had access to her bank accounts for over a month.
She is described as white, of slim build and approximately 5ft 7in tall with blond hair.
She was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweater.
