There has been a tragic outcome in the search for a young Australian woman who went missing from her home more than three days ago.
ACT Police had asked the public for help locating 26-year-old Mathilde Innes Pouliquin who was last seen in the Canberra suburb of Dixon on Friday, September 27.
The police asked Canberrans to be on the lookout for Ms Pouliquin, who was described as Caucasian in appearance, with a slim build and dark curly hair.
Significant concerns were held for her welfare.
It was not known what clothing she had on when she left her home, but she was driving a hail-damaged red/maroon Volkswagen Golf hatchback with ACT registration YOP57Z.
