Police are renewing calls for public assistance for information into the disappearance of 50-year-old Traie Olsen, missing from Toowoomba since mid-February, 2022.

Traie’s disappearance is out of character and police along with family hold grave concerns for her welfare as she has not been seen or heard from since.

She was last seen at a Bridge Street, Newtown petrol station, around 1am on Thursday February 17 refuelling her silver 2004 Mazda hatchback with Queensland registration 456DC8, which was found abandoned on a 4WD track on Gittins Road, Withcott, an area Traie did not have occasion to travel to, the following day around 9am.

Police coordinated an extensive search and rescue operation involving SES and drones in and around this area, finding a number of Traie’s personal items including toiletries.

The area is widely used by trailbike riders and residents living on nearby Stevens and Green Gully roads, with Traie’s vehicle standing out due to its unsuitability with respect to the terrain.

Police have revealed footage of a woman moments before her sudden disappearance at a Queensland petrol station.

Traie Olsen, 50, was last seen at a Toowoomba petrol station – located an hour inland from Brisbane – at 1am on February 17 – more than 50 days ago.

Ms Olsen can be seen refuelling her silver hatchback, which was found abandoned on a 4WD track just 20 minutes from the Newtown petrol station.

The missing woman, who was involved in a minor traffic incident shortly before she went missing, can be seen speaking with another driver.

Police co-ordinated an extensive search and rescue operation involving SES and drones in the area, finding a number of Ms Olsen’s personal items including her phone, wallet and toiletries.

A Queensland Police spokesperson said questions remaine as to why the car was dumped in such rugged terrain.

“It is a connecting road, but it’s a pretty rough one, so only vehicles with 4WD would really get through so at this stage … we’re not real sure why the vehicle was dumped.” he said.

Ms Olsen’s disappearance has been labelled “out of character”, with police and family holding “grave concerns” for her welfare.

There is no evidence to suggest Ms Olsen had reason to travel.

Investigators have urged the driver of a red ute with its bonnet up, seen just before Green Gully Road around the time of Ms Olsen’s disappearance to make contact with police.

Ms Olsen is described as caucasian, approximately 165cm tall with a slight build, black hair and brown eyes.

Her 2004 Mazda hatchback Queensland number plates are: 456DC8.

Detectives are appealing for anyone who sighted Ms Olsen or her vehicle on or around Friday February 18 to come forward.
