Kay CORP
Family plead for your help to find missing woman Kay last seen in Stawell
"Out of character, something just isn't right".
Robyn McSwain is pleading with the public across the region to think
back to the past month and try to remember if anyone has sighted her
sister-in-law Kay.
Kay, from Werribee, was last seen across the Grampians region.
Ms McSwain has spent weeks on the phone and on social media trying to
help her family try to find the missing 46-year-old.
"I was talking to my friend and she told me that she might have gone
somewhere, where she feels safe," she said.
"She has always said she liked Halls Gap. She rang my brother and he
came up and caught up with her in Halls Gap and said something wasn't
quite right.
"He pointed out to me that it wasn't really 'Kay'. Kay is an organised
person with matching luggage and always presented well.
"She stayed in accommodation in Halls Gap - he hoped she would get some
sleep and relax. He had to go back to work and then he tried to call her
and kept getting her voicemail.
"Their daughter got in touch and was saying she kept getting voicemail
as well. That's when the red flags started to occur."
Victoria Police has said Kay
was last seen at a bus stop outside a Stawell motel at about 9.15am on
Tuesday February 2.
Kay was last seen wearing a yellow t-shirt, blue jeans and was carrying
a grey backpack and shopping bags. She is 172cm tall with a medium build
and short brown hair.
Police and family hold concerns for Kay as it is unusual for her to not
make contact with family.
"We know she had access to some amount of money but money doesn't last,"
Ms McSwain said.
"We've been posting on social media and my brother went to Halls Gap to
start looking for her.
"We think she might be
looking for a job - she did say there was lots of jobs in
regional Victoria.
"We just hope that anyone has seen or heard from her can just
get in touch and say she is ok.
"Kay, - we're worried. We don't need to know where you are or
what you are doing, we just want to know you are ok."
Anyone who has seen Kay or has information on her whereabouts is
urged to contact Stawell Police Station on 03 5358 8222.
Fears missing Werribee mum Kay Corp is ‘lost’ in bushland in Grampians National
Park
The family of a woman last seen at a Victorian country bus stop six weeks ago
say the disappearance is ‘out of character’ and fear she is in trouble.
The family of a woman who was last seen at a bus stop outside a country
Victorian motel almost six weeks ago fear she is lost somewhere deep in the
bushland of the Grampians National Park.
Kay Corp has not been seen since Tuesday, February 2 after she was sighted
at a bus stop outside a Stawell motel about 9.15am.
Her sister-in-law Robyn McSwain said the disappearance was “out of
character” and knew something was not quite right when the missing
46-year-old didn’t take any of her beloved jewellery with her.
“She loved all of her beautiful pieces – the dangling earrings and the
dozens of bracelets – for her to leave them behind doesn’t feel right, it
doesn’t feel right at all,” she told NCA NewsWire.
“She is just like me – very well organised, the sort of person who always
had a spare toothbrush – so for my brother to see her just with a backpack …
he was very taken aback.”
Ms McSwain said she was “clinging onto her last bit of hope” that her
sister-in-law was hiding out in Halls Gap or the Grampians National Park – a
place that had been “a haven” for Ms Corp throughout her life.
“She loved the Grampians, always spoke about it and had some of her best times
of her life there, so it makes sense she’s fled there,” she said.
“But it’s harsh bushland – I am personally very scared for her safety – she fled
only with lightweight clothing and it’s getting very cold now, so surely she’s
gone out to buy a jumper and someone has seen her.”
Kay has a 16-year-old daughter Olivia, who has just started VCE this year and is
about to turn 17 next month.
Ms McSwain said Olivia was trying to reach her mother every day.
“She is concerned – she would touch base with her mum two or three times a day,”
she said.
“To have not one inbox or text message returned – as a 16 year-old she realises
something isn’t quite right here.
“She thought her mum went for a break – we all thought that Kay just needs a
break – but none of us could get hold of her after the first 10 days, and that’s
when we all started to worry, and now it’s been six week that she hasn’t been
seen.”
Ms Corp lived in Werribee with her daughter, while her partner lived in Stawell
in western Victoria.
She was last seen wearing a yellow T-shirt, blue jeans and was carrying a grey
backpack and shopping bags.
Ms McSwain urged her sister-in-law to make contact so the family could know she
was safe and well.
“I can stand in your shoes – I fully understand where your head is at, but our
family is concerned for you,” she said.
“Just say to something to someone wherever you may be and let them pass that
information onto the police.
“I don’t want to feel negative – I just believe you’re out there totally lost
and exhausted and don’t know what to do or who to ask for help – but you’ve got
to be staying somewhere, even if it’s the most dodgy place.
“So please, just reach out to us or let us know you’re OK.”
Ms Corp is 172cm tall with a medium build and short brown hair.
Anyone who has seen Ms Corp or has information on her whereabouts should phone
Stawell police station on (03) 5358 8222.
