Another two young women have vanished from the same area missing Sydney girl Cassie Olczak was last seen walking out of a train station.
The two women, Nikki Groves and Kate Bateup, both aged 21, are friends with 16-year-old Cassie who went missing on Sunday after being spotted boarding a train at Sydney’s Banksia railway station. She later walked out of Waterfall station at 7pm.
Nikki and Kate were reported missing last Wednesday after the two women called National Parks and Wildlife Service rangers at 2pm and said they were lost in the Royal National Park area in Sydney’s south.
The rangers and rescue crews have not been able to reach the two girls since.
It is believed that one of the three women missing suffers from a medical condition and requires urgent medical attention.
The Daily Mail is reporting that a relative of Kate made contact with the two girls at 5am last Thursday. The two friends gave the relative a location of their whereabouts and described it as being ‘on the edge of a cliff’.
‘I think that was the best description they could give of where they were… they don’t really know where they are, they’re lost,’ the relative said.
The relative added that the two women are not experienced bushwalkers, but went to the park to go on a hike and make the most out of a nice day.
