Ms Ketchell has barely been able to eat or sleep since her only daughter – she also has three boys aged 16, 10 and 4 – went missing.

Shyanne had not been at home in Burnie for two months before she disappeared after absconding from an at risk youth centre where she was staying in Launceston.

‘I’m living every parent’s worst nightmare, but all I can do is pray she’s safe and comes home into my arms,’ Ms Ketchell told the She struggles to sleep, thinking about Shyanne and wondering if she’s warm enough. When she does manage to sleep, her last thought is about her daughter. 

The missing teenager is also the first thing on Ms Ketchell’s mind every time she wakes, a permanent reminder of the heartbreak the family is going through.  

Their grief is made worse by the lack of any breakthrough. The police searched the North Esk River, but found no body or even clues.

The Criminal Investigation Branch said the chances of finding Shyanne get smaller with each passing day, and they are still trying to trace four cars captured on CCTV around the time she disappeared.

Ms Ketchell is clinging to the hope that her precious child is still alive, though she has ‘a gut feeling she is no longer with us’.

The police said her daughter may have been taken against her will. Because of this, she knows has to prepare herself for the worst.

The devastated mum spoke with Shyanne by phone on the evening she vanished, as she was about to break the rules and leave the centre she was staying in.

They had an argument, with Ms Ketchell advising her not to go out to see her friend as she was already in trouble at the youth at risk centre for breaking curfew. 

She doesn’t blame the centre, acknowledging they were doing everything they could for Shyanne, who has behavioural problems and suffers from depression.

‘The last thing I did was tell her I love her. She didn’t say it back. It was the last time I heard her voice,’ Ms Ketchell said.

The mum also suffers from anxiety and depression and sometimes had heated fights with Shyanne, which led to her living in the youth centre.

Ms Ketchell said though they found it hard to live under the same roof because of their respective mental health struggles, Shyanne still called her every day, until the calls stopped abruptly on April 30.

A vigil is being held at Launceston’s City Park on Sunday to support the family and the SES volunteers who have helped in the search for the missing girl.

The mum will turn 35 on June 12 and only wants one thing, ‘to have my baby girl back in my arms’.
