The family of Tasmanian girl Shyanne-Lee Tatnell has made yet another plea for answers after she disappeared without a trace while walking to see a friend on April 30.
“She’s my baby and I desperately want her back,” her mother Bobbi-Lee Ketchell told A Current Affair.

The teen had moved in with her grandmother due to friction with her mother in the family home in the town of Burnie, before moving onto a youth centre in Launceston.
She set off from the centre along the North Esk River on the night on April 30, but never made it to her destination.
Her mother revealed the heartbreaking last conversation the pair had before her disappearance, with Ms Ketchell urging her daughter not to break her curfew after being grounded.
“She got upset … we had a little bit of a disagreement and then I said, ‘I love you’,” Ms Ketchell said.
Her daughter never said “I love you back”.

“You don’t just disappear off the face off the earth without something being found, some piece of clothing or footwear or phone,” Hubbard said.
The family believe that their daughter accepted a lift from someone or was even “forced into a vehicle”.
“She was rebellious and it didn’t matter what I would tell her not to do. She was firm on doing what she wanted and didn’t think of the consequences before doing it,” Ms Ketchell said.
Police want to speak with the drivers of two silver cars caught on CCTV near the area where she was last seen.

“We actually want to discount you from any investigation, from any potential witness, so we can move on with other aspects of the investigation,” police said.
Officers have also noted that the video show a portion of time where Shyanne-Lee was running, however said that there was “no evidence” she was being chased.
Her family have also pleaded for anyone with information to come forward.
“Nanny loves you so much Shyanne. I need you home, your family needs you home desperately,” she said.
“If someone has my granddaughter, you need to release her now.
“We are a totally broken family, we’re lost without her.”
