The last possible sighting of Allecha Suzette Boyd was at a Woolworths supermarket in Wagga

The last possible sighting of Allecha Suzette Boyd, 27, was at a Woolworths supermarket in Wagga Wagga, 200km west of Canberra, about 9.15am on August 10

Police revealed the woman has previously worked as a chef and before her disappearance was in regular contact with her friends and family.

Her phone and bank account have not been used since August 10.

She is believed to have travelled to Coolamon following her supermarket visit but the reason why is unknown.

'She may have been driven there, certainly nothing has been heard from her since,' Wagga Crime Manager Detective Inspector Darren Cloake told The Daily Telegraph.

'We're hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.'

Police have revealed a CCTV image from within Woolworths on August 10 that shows her purchasing a number of items while wearing a white jumper. 

Over the last two years, Ms Boyd has failed to hold down a permanent residence and has been staying with various friends across NSW, South Australia and Victoria.

Her family have since taken to Facebook to plead for any information on her whereabouts.

'I'm in disbelief and I just want to know she's okay. It makes me feel sick to think something has happened to her,' her sister Rhiannon wrote.

She also revealed Ms Boyd had been 'really troubled' and disagreed with several of her life choices.

Her Victoria-based cousin revealed her dismay being unable to help with the search.

'She has left her phone, her purse and her car which she loves behind. None of her accounts have been touched,' Hayley Elizabeth Hoskin-Elliott wrote.

'We all live in Melbourne and all feel so helpless!' 

Ms Boyd is said to have broken up her same-sex relationship two months ago and her previous partner shares the deep concern for her welfare.

She is described as Caucasian and about 170cm tall with a medium build.

She has long, brown hair and has hazel eyes.

Anyone with any information regarding her whereabouts is urged to call 000 or Crime Stoppers.
