The family of a missing vulnerable woman hold serious concerns for her safety and believe she may be travelling with a stranger.
Chantelle Drummond, 24, reportedly had an argument with her aunt who she lives with before leaving their Alderley St home in Toowoomba between 5-10pm on Friday, March 14 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.
Her aunt, Angela Brown, suspects Chantelle may be travelling with another person as the family’s yellow 2008 yellow Honda Jazz was also missing and Chantelle cannot drive.

They are now spending their time searching for Chantelle in Brisbane.
“We can’t just sit by and do nothing while she is missing,” she said.
“Chantelle has deleted her social media account, switched her phone off and has not turned it back on.
“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.
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.
