Chantelle Drummond has been missing for her Toowoomba home for four days.

The family of a woman missing for more than five days has made an impassioned plea for witnesses to come forward.

Chantelle Drummond, 24, reportedly had an argument with her aunt who she lives with before leaving their Alderley Street home between 5-10pm on Friday and has not been seen or heard from since.

Chantelle is described as caucasian, approximately 145cm tall with light brown hair and brown eyes, and wears glasses.

She is believed to be driving a yellow 2008 model Honda Jazz.

Her aunt, Angela Brown, suspects Chantelle may be travelling with another person as the family’s yellow Honda Jazz was also missing and Chantelle cannot drive.

“Chantelle has deleted her social media account, switched her phone off and has not turned it back on,” she said.

“She has many complex disabilities, she has not been taking her ADHD meds, she is not thinking rationally and she does not have a drivers licence, she is just a learner.

Chantelle Drummond has been missing since Friday, March 14.

Along with Type 1 Diabetes, Chantelle also lives with Turner’s Syndrome that has affected her development.

“She is 24 but she looks 12, she has the mentality of a 12-year-old,” Ms Brown said.

“Chantelle is desperate for friends.

“If you walked up to her on the street and asked to be her friend she would do anything for you.

“That is her vulnerability.”

The young woman has a very small social circle but was recently seen getting out of a dark blue sedan with an unidentified older woman.

Ms Brown suspected that after their argument, Chantelle arranged for someone to pick her up with the Honda Jazz.

“We have called every hospital and petrol station between here and Brisbane looking for her,” she said.

“She could be anywhere in Australia by now.”

Police from the Toowoomba Vulnerable Persons Unit are helping in the investigation.

Anyone who sees Chantelle, or a yellow 2008 model Honda Jazz (Qld rego 387ID5) is urged to phone Policelink on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
