In the latest update to the most bizarre missing person’s case police have seen in decades, The Goulburn Post has reported that a man discovered a “catatonic” Riana Tromp in the back of his ute.
Riana Tromp is the daughter of Mark and Jacoba Tromp, who set off on a family holiday, along with their two other children, on August 29.
In the days since, the two other children (all adults) have returned home, while their mother was found wandering around in a “dazed and confused state.” Her husband, Mark Tromp, remains missing.
29 year old Riana was found in the back of Keith Whittaker’s ute in Goulburn on Tuesday morning after he pulled into a petrol station. After returning to his car and setting off again he felt a kick in the back of his seat and discovered Riana in the back.
"I filled up with petrol and drove off on my way to Canberra for a doctor’s appointment," he told the Goulburn Post.
"I got to Lake George when I felt a kick to the back of my seat."
"I turned around and saw two legs stretched across the back between my seat and the floor. She was lying on the floor.
"I got an extreme shock. I pulled over in a rest area.
"About 20 minutes later the young woman sat up and was staring straight ahead. I asked her who she was and if she was all right? She did not know her name and had no idea where she was.

I can see one having a mental illness...but both parents? Is it drug induced maybe?
Here's my theory. Paranoia caused by a neurotoxin the family was exposed to - a pesticide on their farm or a neighbours. It's very scarey - I hope the father is found safe and everyone gets the help they need.
