Bodies of woman and boyfriend found after chilling phone clue in disappearance
Leannedra Kang, 25, and her boyfriend Takahiro Toya, from Brisbane, were on holiday in Tasmania where they hired a car and a major search was launched after they didn't board a plane home Two bodies have reportedly been found by a crashed vehicle after a major search for a couple who did not board their flight home from holiday. Leannedra Kang, 25, and her boyfriend Takahiro Toya had rented a car for their trip travelling around Tasmania and the family of Leannedra became worried when they did not take their flight back home to Brisbane on Wednesday. What led to increase the concern of Ms Kang's family was that her sister saw her phone's last location was Goshen, a rural area in northeast Tasmania which was 'out of the way for her itinerary'. And now tragically police have reportedly said that two bodies, believed to be those of the missing pair, have been found on Friday evening by a crashed car which was in water off Tebrakunna Road. An investigation by police has led them to believe that the car drove off a bridge near Pioneer, between St Helens and Derby. 'At this early stage it appears they were travelling over a bridge when the vehicle has left the roadway and ended up in the water,' said Inspector Luke Manhood, reported Pulse Tasmania. 'This is a tragic outcome and our thoughts are with their families and loved ones.' Police said there are no signs of suspicious circumstances over the incident, though investigations are continuing. 'A report will be prepared for the Coroner,' Inspector Manhood added. Ms Kang had been regularly sharing updates with her family of her trip until they suddenly stopped on Tuesday afternoon. 'Please let me know if anyone has been in contact with her or seen her,' her sister Alexandra reportedly wrote in a Facebook post. 'My family is beyond worried.' Police in Tasmania issued a photo of the missing pair and the white Toyota Corolla that they had rented, in an appeal to the public. The appeal read: "Police are seeking public information in relation to the location of Leannedra Kang and Takahiro Toya (both aged in their 20s) who have been visiting Tasmania and were believed to have been in the St Helens/Scamander area recently. "They may be travelling in a (rental car) white Toyota Corolla with registration L67GW. Leannedra and Takahiro were scheduled to leave Tasmania on Wednesday (4 June) flying from Launceston home to Brisbane, but they did not board their flight or return the rental vehicle. "If you've seen them or the vehicle, or know where they are, please contact police on 131 444 and quote ESCAD 420-05062025. *Leannedra and Takahiro if you see this, you're not in any trouble, please phone police or family to let them know you're ok."
