Detectives investigating the suspicious disappearance of a Western Sydney woman two months ago have released CCTV footage in an appeal for public assistance.
Samah Baker, aged 30, was last seen after she was dropped off at her Early Street, Parramatta, home by a friend in the early hours of Friday 4 January 2019.
She was reported missing by relatives later that day after they could not get in contact with her.
Detectives from Parramatta Police Area Command, assisted by detectives from the Homicide Squad, have established Strike Force Boutcher to investigate her disappearance, which is being treated as suspicious.
As part of their inquiries, strike force investigators have released CCTV footage of Ms Baker inside a hotel in North Sydney on Wednesday 2 January 2019.
She is described as being Mediterranean/Middle Eastern in appearance, 155-165 cm tall, with a medium build, and long dark hair.
In the vision, Ms Baker is seen wearing both a peach-orange coloured dress and a black and white spotted shirt and denim shorts. These items of clothing have not been located during police searches.
Detectives are appealing for anyone who saw her coming or going from Early Street, Parramatta, or heard anything suspicious in the early hours of Friday 4 January 2019, to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Investigators are also appealing for anyone with dashcam footage during that time, particularly between 1am and 7am, to come forward.
Parramatta Police Area Commander, Superintendent Julie Boon, said Ms Baker's distressed family hold grave concerns for her welfare as her disappearance was out of character.
"It's been an agonising two months for Samah's family as it is a long time to not see or hear from her," Supt Boon said.
"It's very unusual for her not to contact her family for such a long period of time, and there were no known plans of her to leave her home or Sydney.
"Despite her social media account being updated since she was reported missing, investigators are examining the possibility she may have met with foul play.
"We will continue to pursue all lines of inquiry and are calling on the community to come forward and help us locate Samah."
Anyone with information that may assist Strike Force Boutcher investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence.
