• Her car was sighted travelling through Clifton Beach just before 2pm and again at the southern carpark, Wangetti Beach.
Toyah was reported missing around 10.50pm on Sunday and a ground search commenced by police. Sadly, Toyah’s body was located around 7.45am the following morning at Wangetti Beach.
Police continue to appeal for information about Toyah’s movements on Sunday including seeking dash-cam footage taken between Kewarra Beach to the Port Douglas turn-off between 12md and 7pm that day.
Police are also asking people to review any photographs taken from the Rex Range Lookout looking toward Wangetti Beach taken on Sunday.
Electronic message boards and fixed billboards seeking witnesses will be placed at key locations at: Ellis Beach, Clifton Beach, 15 km north of Wangetti Beach, the Kennedy Highway, Captain Cook Highway and the Bruce Highway.

As Wangetti Beach becomes available for public use again police urge people to be aware of their surroundings. A comprehensive examination of the scene has been conducted, however it is possible that new evidence may become available over time, due to environmental factors such as wind and rain. Police urge anyone who locates any item that may help with the investigation to not touch the item and immediately notify police.
