The Victoria Police Missing Persons Squad has "significant concerns" about the welfare of an Epping woman who has not been since since Monday.
Key points:
- Ju "Kelly" Zhang of Epping has not been seen since February 1
- Police have been told she would never leave her young son alone
- Officers are trying to locate her partner, Joon "Sam" Tan
Ju "Kelly" Zhang, 33, was last seen at her home on Winchester Avenue, wearing a pink pyjama top, shorts and bare feet.
She was reported missing the following day.
Her eight-year-old son was left in the care of her partner, Joon "Sam" Tan, 35, of Doncaster.
"We have significant concerns for Kelly. [She] is a very loving mother to her eight-year-old son," he said.
"The information we have is that she would not have left her son with someone who was not a family member," said Detective Inspector Andrew Stamper from Victoria Police.
Police have spoken to Mr Tan, who told them she went for a walk and never returned.
"We say that is a very unlikely scenario," Detective Inspector Stamper said.
Police spoke to Mr Tan on Thursday but he is no longer in communication with officers.
"We believe that he is actively avoiding police contact," he said.
Mr Tan is driving a black Mazda CX9 and he may be interstate.
Ms Zhang's former husband is taking care of the boy and assisting police.
Detective Inspector Stamper appealed to the Australian Chinese community for assistance.
"We know that there's been a great deal of concern and a great deal of talk on social media platforms that are very popular with Chinese community," he said.
"We would ask those people who are talking on Crime Stoppers to get in touch with police and provide some information."
Police have been unable to locate Ms Zhang's mobile phone.
