Police and volunteers scan dense undergrowth for a young woman who mysteriously disappeared over the weekend.
Lucinda Miller, 24, was last seen in Dandenong, a suburb of Melbourne, around 11 a.m. last Sunday.
She ordered a shared ride that dropped her off at a forest trail off McDougal Road in Neerim South.
Police are looking for missing woman Lucinda (pictured), 24, who went missing after ordering a shared ride to a forest trail 1.5 miles from her home in Neerim South
The trail is about 2.5 kilometers from the young woman’s house.
There are now 50 police officers, including a dog brigade, and volunteers searching for Mrs. Miller in thick undergrowth.
Police have also questioned the driver of the rideshare that dropped off Ms. Miller, but there is no evidence that they were involved in her disappearance.
Victoria Police Inspector Peter Fusinato said Mrs Miller was familiar with the forest path to her house and said it was strange that she never came home.
“There are tracks all the way through, it’s out of character that she didn’t come home,” he said.
He added that there was “no indication” that a “second party” was involved in her disappearance.
Detectives have also knocked on doors on neighbors’ homes and other properties in the area.

Officers have appealed to the public for help locating Ms Miller as both her family and police are concerned for her well-being.
She is described as 165cm tall (or 5’5) with a thin build and blond hair.
She was last seen wearing a white top, pink pants, a green sweater, hat, scarf and face mask.
