There is a full-on police search for my sister Gaia in Swanage. On the way out to get a referral from the GP with my aunt, she walked out the house with no phone or means of contact at around 5pm.'Gaia suffers from increasingly severe epilepsy (we have no idea if she has her medication with her) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.'She is currently going through a period of extreme worry/PTSD episode. As you can probably imagine, she is very vulnerable.'I'm hoping that she'll show up after being sat somewhere and say 'I was just chilling out and taking some me time'. But after a full night of no one having any contact from her, its safe to say I'm feeling sick to my stomach.'So this is a call to arms, please, if you can. Swanage/Dorset/People with cars. I need to find my sister.'
