A Facebook update days after Samah Baker went missing is the only sign of life the family of the 30-year-old have had since she went missing in Parramatta more than two months ago.
Ms Baker had two Facebook pages, the profile picture of one was changed a few days after she went missing on January 4.
That page has since been deleted while the other remains unchanged.
The Ultimo TAFE receptionist has not, been heard from, seen, used her bank cards or turned on her mobile phone since she was dropped off at her Parramatta home at 1.30am by a male friend.

The man claimed to police he dropped her home and watched her walk through the front door before leaving. Ms Baker’s two flatmates didn’t see her get home.
The clothes she was wearing and a bag she was carrying at the time with more clothes have not been found.
Police say the alibi of the male who dropped her home was “strong”.
Parramatta police haven’t ruled-out any of Ms Baker’s acquaintances as possible suspects, Superintendent Julie Boon said.
“Despite her social media account being updated since she was reported missing, investigators are examining the possibility she may have met with foul play,” Supt Boon said.
“She was a king hearted community minded person. It’s very unusual for her not to contact her family for such a long period of time.”
Police have followed leads in southeast Queensland and Melbourne.
Footage has been released of her in two missing outfits in the days before she vanished.
On January 2, she wore a black polka-dot top and denim shorts while having drinks at The Vibe Hotel in North Sydney where she stayed the night.
The following morning she wore a peach and orange coloured dress to St Michael’s Catholic Church in Belfield before meeting friends at Coogee and then Chinatown.
Police said she had the backpack with the other clothes when she was taken to her Early St home by her male friend.
The next morning her mother reported her missing as it was unusual for them to not speak every day.
On Monday, the family revealed the toll of not knowing what had happened.
“Every day without our much-loved sister and daughter is filled with unimaginable grief,” a statement said. “Please, if you know where she is, we are begging you to call police.”
