Nearly eight months after she vanished, Rowena Walker remains missing and police are still searching for answers.

Detective Senior Sergeant Jo Carolan said enquiries remained ongoing as officers worked to find the 39 year old.

“Rowena’s last confirmed sighting was on 14 August, when she was captured on CCTV in Christchurch on Bassett Street with an associate,” she said.

“We know she travelled often, and in our efforts, we have searched in several districts including Waikato, Tasman, and Canterbury. Unfortunately, we have not been able to locate Rowena.

“Police are urging anyone with information that may assist our enquiries to please contact us.

“Rowena has not been in contact with her children since she went missing, and as her 40th birthday approaches, her family are now desperately worried for her safety.

“If you know anything, no matter how small you think it may be, it may be the piece in the puzzle we need to locate Rowena.”

Police thanked members of the public who had already provided information or assisted in the search.

Anyone with information is urged to contact police online at 105.police.govt.nz or call 105, quoting file number 251022/9026.
