South Australian police have embarked on an epic 16-day aerial quest to find 41-year-old Trisha Graf, whose abandoned car was discovered near Roxby Downs, 510 km north of Adelaide. Last seen in the early hours of Friday, December 12, Trisha apparently had a better 'ghost mode' button than most smartphonesâvanishing into the expansive South Australian desert like a true Houdini. Despite intense efforts including expanded aerial searches, the cops are still grappling with terrain so vast and empty, even tumbleweeds feel lonely. Meanwhile, locals probably already suspect Trisha's just charging her phone somewhere with better reception.
