Missing woman Adele Morrison’s car found in flood waters, her whereabouts still unknown

A car believed to belong to an elderly NSW woman missing for 10 days has been found in floodwaters.

The car of a woman who has been missing in flood ravaged NSW for more than a week has been found, but the 78-year-old remains unaccounted for.

Adele Morrison was last seen leaving home in Port Macquarie last Tuesday to travel to Gloucester and was reported missing the following day.

Adele Morrison, 78, was last seen on Tuesday, March 16.

Her red 2017 Toyota Corolla has been found in the Barrington River.

Her red 2017 Toyota Corolla hatchback was found partially submerged in flood waters in the Barrington River at Barrington about 11.15am on Thursday.

There was nobody inside the vehicle.

“With the assistance of SES, the car was extracted from the water,” a spokeswoman for NSW Police said.

“We’re continuing to make inquiries to locate her and urge anyone with information to come forward.”

When Ms Morrison’s disappearance was first announced, NSW Police said it was “out of character” for the woman not to have made contact with her family.

“Police and family continue to hold serious concerns for Adele’s welfare due to her age and current weather conditions in the area,” the police statement read.

Ms Morrison is described as being of caucasian appearance, between 150cm to 160cm tall, with a medium build, grey hair and hazel eyes.

She had been travelling in the Toyota Corolla with NSW registration plates DSN 47R.

She is known to frequent the Gloucester, Maclean, Nabiac, Berrico and Barrington Tops areas.
