Dawn is Caucasian, 160cm tall, with a slim petite build, short brown curly
hair and hazel eyes.
She was last seen wearing a black T-shirt with the words “Justice Compassion

Police have released vision of 70-year-old Logan Central
woman Dawn Wells who was reported missing from Woodridge in December last
year, as part of ongoing investigations into her disappearance.
Dawn Wells was last seen just before 8pm on Tuesday 9 December near a
bus-stop on Kingston Road, heading towards Compton Road, at Woodridge.
She has not been seen or heard from since.
Police and family hold concerns for Dawn’s welfare due to her age and a
medical condition that may cause confusion.
Police have a dedicated team of officers working to locate Dawn with
extensive investigations taking place over the past two months, including
multiple field-searches of relevant areas and bushland by State Emergency
Service (SES) volunteers, dog squad officers and the dive-squad.
Investigators have been able to confirm that Dawn, who is a frequent user of
public transport, has not used her GoCard since 9 December, there is no
record of her attending any nearby hospitals, and that all reported
sightings of Dawn from Harvey Bay down to Melbourne have been thoroughly
investigated and subsequently unsubstantiated.
Dawn is described as Caucasian, around 160cm tall, with a slim petite build,
shoulder-length brown curly hair, hazel eyes and walks with a distinctive
gate.
She was last seen wearing a black T-shirt with the words “Justice Compassion
Love” on the front, light blue jeans shorts, a khaki brown bum-bag, brown
runners and may be wearing a black cap.
Police are appealing to Dawn, or anyone with information regarding her
whereabouts, to come forward.
Search for vulnerable woman who disappeared from
bus stop nearly two months ago
A large-scale search is under way for a woman who went missing almost
two months ago after becoming separated from her husband in Queensland.
Dawn Wells, 70, was last seen near a bus stop on Kingston Road in
Logan before 8pm on December 9.
Her husband, George, believed she was walking right behind him when
he boarded the bus.
"She was with her husband at the time, but they became separated at
the bus stop," Queensland Police's Warren Parker told reporters
today.
"George has returned and attempted to locate Dawn, and then, after
that, he has made contact with police."
Wells has not been seen or heard from since.
Police said she has not used her GoCard, there is no record of her
attending any nearby hospitals, and all reported sightings of her
from Hervey Bay down to Melbourne have been ruled out.
Her family is concerned as Dawn has a medical condition that may
cause confusion.
"She does have health vulnerabilities, which requires medication and
constant medication," Parker said.
"We think this may have led to her disappearance."
Wells' friend Carol-Joy Patrick told 9News her loved ones are
missing her.
"She loves to come to church events, she loves to speak to people,
she adores babies," she said.
"We're missing you. George is heartbroken because you're not with
him."
Today, police released CCTV of her last known movements walking
along Kingston Road just hours before going missing as they appeal
to the public.
Anyone with information is urged to come forward.
Wells is described as white, about 160cm tall, with a slim, petite
build and shoulder-length brown curly hair. She walks with a
distinctive gait.
She was last seen wearing a black shirt with the words "Justice
Compassion Love" on the front, light blue jean shorts, a khaki brown
bumbag, brown runners and a black cap.
