Queensland couple thought to be missing in Tasmania after failing to board flight home to Brisbane
Police are searching for a Queensland couple who did not board their flight home to Brisbane from Tasmania, where they had been on holiday.
Leannedra Kang and Takahiro Toya, both in their 20s, were due to leave Tasmania on Wednesday, but did not board their flight from Launceston, or return their rental car.
Ms Kang's sister, Cassandra Kang, said her family was worried.
Cassandra Kang said the last time she heard from her sister was early on Tuesday afternoon.
"But her friend has contacted her on Tuesday at 8:50pm," she said.
She said her sister and Mr Toya had been together since February.
"They do go on road trips quite often in Brisbane, this is their first trip interstate," she said.
"The last time I saw her personally was in Brisbane. We met up on the 30th of May for a musical. And then after that, on the 31st she took the flight with Taka to Hobart."
Both Ms Kang and Mr Toya were due to return to work this week.
"She's due to get back to work today at 7pm, but he was due for work yesterday," Cassandra Kang said on Friday.
Cassandra Kang said family members had spoken to both Ms Kang's and Mr Toya's workplaces, and had managed to unlock Mr Toya's laptop, which is where the couple's itinerary for their Tasmanian holiday was found and provided to police.
Tasmania Police said Ms Kang and Mr Toya left their accommodation in North Hobart on Tuesday.
"From there they had planned to travel to Richmond, Ross, Bicheno, Bay of Fires and Mole Creek," police said in a statement.
They may have also been seen in the St Helens and Scamander area.
Police said they may be travelling in a rental car — a Toyota Corolla with registration L67GW.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 131 444.
Police also had this message for Ms Kang and Mr Toya:
