Police release footage of missing Queensland woman Tayla Spies as search continues

CCTV footage shows Tayla Spies just hours before she vanished from a small town in Queensland’s Western Downs region in early February.

Police have released CCTV footage they hope will help them locate for young mother Tayla Spies who has been missing in western Queensland for nearly two weeks.

Ms Spies was last seen leaving a hotel in Dalby about 8am on Sunday February 2.

“We have grave concerns about the health and safety of Tayla,” Detective Chief Inspector Garry Watts told the ABC.

“She had a birthday just recently, she didn’t make any contact with family, which is really out of character.”

Ms Spies turned 29 six days after she went missing.

Footage shows her carrying a large bag into her white Toyota HiLux.

She then travelled towards Surat, a small town about 500km west of Brisbane.

Her vehicle, which has a distinctive black bumper bar and blacked-out wheels, was last seen at the intersection of Burrowes Street and Cordelia Street in Surat at 11.10am.

The vehicle has Queensland registration of 559 GJ7.

Police are asking anyone who was travelling between Dalby, Surat and surrounding areas, between the hours of 10.30am and 12.30pm on Sunday February 2, to check their vehicles dash-cameras footage.

Ms Spies is described as caucasian with brown shoulder length hair, blue eyes, slim build and approximately 170cm tall.

She has the word KARMA tattooed across her chest.

Inspector Watts said her children were safe and being looked after, though the fact that she hasn’t made contact with them is “out of character.”

Ms Spies was last seen wearing a fluorescent pink long sleeve shirt and light-coloured shorts, according to police.

However, her sister Rebecca wrote in a social media post that the missing 29-year-old may now be wearing different clothes.

“She did end up changing into a white shirt with purple writing on it and a Mimco shoulder bag in the afternoon on Sunday,” she wrote.

The family has appealed to the public for any information on the missing woman.

“Please, if anyone has seen Tayla or her car, report it asap! We just want to know she’s okay and safe!” Rebecca wrote.

Ms Spies, originally from Roma, had been in Dalby for the weekend but was planning to return to Roma before her disappearance, Inspector Watts said.

Anyone who may have any information about her whereabouts is being urged to immediately come forward.
