Family's last desperate trip to find missing Aussie grandmother in Malaysia
The family of an Adelaide grandmother who vanished in Malaysia is making one last desperate trip to find her.
Private investigators are now on the case a year after Anna Jenkins’ bizarre disappearance on the streets of Penang.
“It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but we’ve got 100 haystacks,” her daughter, Jen Bowen, said.
The 66-year-old woman was in Malaysia visiting her dying mother last December with her husband, Frank.
But on her way back from a dentist appointment something went wrong.
An Uber driver has since revealed she suddenly fled the car and was never seen again.
Her son and daughter have travelled to Penang 13 times and have put up 11,000 posters.
Malaysian and Australian authorities have provided some assistance, but the family has called in private investigators.
“We just wish that there was some kind of help that we could get from a higher level because we just simply can’t do it on our own, but we’ve got no choice,” Ms Bowen said.
A Facebook page has been set up to help in the search for the missing grandmother but the family admits they cannot keep going forever.
“The biggest fear of what’s happened is that we will just never know and that we’re always going to be in this state of limbo,” Ms Bowen said.
