Twenty-four year old Krystal, who has the mental capacity of a teenager, disappeared on Saturday, June 20, one day before she was due to give birth.

Senior Constable Jason Brady, who works in Krystal’s home town of Pyramid Hill, said that everything possible was being done to locate her.

“I’m as concerned as much as anyone.

“We’ve got an intellectually disabled woman, who is post term, with no medical assistance.

“The whole investigation raises alarm bells for me.”Senior Constable Brady said that police and Pyramid Hill residents believed that Krystal may be scared to come forward.

He said that while it was believed that she was hiding out in the Bendigo area, other explanations for her disappearance could not be discounted.

“If anyone knows where she is we are urging them to come forward and at least let officials know she is safe,” Senior Constable Brady said.

Sue Lacey is one of many Pyramid Hill residents who has barely slept since Krystal went missing, and is among many people to have spent hours searching the streets of Bendigo for the vulnerable young woman.

Mrs Lacey is also one of more than 500 members of the FaceBook group Help us find Krystal Fraser.

“I’ve known her since she was 10 . . . I took her to the doctor in Boort when she found out that she was pregnant,” Mrs Lacey said.

“I believe that she’s gone underground now.

“And that would be killing her.

“She comes into IGA about 40 times a day, she’s the friendliest person you could ever meet.”Krystal has not used her mobile phone or accessed her bank accounts since her disappearance.

“People have asked me if she would have planned this, and been saving but she couldn’t save money.

“I don’t believe this was planned.”Krystal was sighted at Bendigo Marketplace on Sunday, June 21, and again near the Bendigo Post Office on Wednesday, June 24.

She was at Bendigo Hospital’s maternity accommodation section in Stuart Street on Saturday, June 20, when she said that she was going to go home.

She left the premises, but has not returned to the Pyramid Hill flat she lives in alone since.

Senior Constable Brady said that anyone who saws Krystal should engage in conversation with her, stay with her and ring 000 and ask for an ambulance and the police.
