TAS: Search for woman missing since Tuesday scaled down

The search for a 60-year-old Tasmanian woman missing for four nights in freezing conditions
has been scaled down.

Police say they have no new leads in the search for SUSAN MADDERN, who was last seen
on Tuesday at her mobile home in the Western Creek area, south-west of Launceston.

She's believed to have gone for a walk on Thursday evening and hasn't been seen since.

More than 60 searchers and 10 mounted officers searched for Ms MADDERN over the weekend,
but police say the search won't be resumed unless they receive fresh information.

Ms MADDERN moved from Melbourne to Tasmania in March this year and was staying in a
mobile home on her brother and sister's property.





She's 165 centimetres tall, of medium build, with greying shoulder-length hair.

She's believed to be wearing a navy blue polar-fleece jacket and dark blue tracksuit pants.
