Dawn Wells, a 70-year-old woman, was last spotted near a bus stop on Kingston Road in Logan shortly before 8 p.m. on December 9. Her sudden disappearance has left her family and authorities deeply concerned.
According to George Wells, her husband, he assumed Dawn was trailing just behind him as he boarded the bus. However, the couple became inadvertently separated at that crucial moment.
“She was with her husband at the time, but they became separated at the bus stop,” Queensland Police’s Warren Parker explained to reporters today. The separation was unplanned and has since left a gap in understanding what happened next.
After realizing Dawn was no longer by his side, George returned to the bus stop in an attempt to find her. When he couldn’t locate her, he promptly reached out to the authorities for help. Despite these efforts, Dawn has not been seen or heard from since that evening.
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.
