Police in Western Australia are concerned for the welfare of an elderly woman who has been missing since December last year, but whose family only reported her missing last week.
Nathalie Casal – who is listed online as a GP – went for a walk three months ago and has not been seen since, but her family waited until March 7 to tell police she had not returned.
Dr. Casal, 71, told her family she was going to walk the Bibbulmun Track, which runs from Kalamunda in Perth’s east to Albany and is more than 1,000km long.
She told them that she was going with a large group of people and that she might not be available for a while.
“Police believe she started her walk from Mundaring, but she has had no contact with family since,” police said in a statement on Thursday.
