Police searching for missing mum and newborn after hospital disappearance

Police are urgently searching for a young mother and her newborn baby after the pair disappeared from a north Queensland hospital days ago.

Twenty-two-year-old Summa Clarke was last seen leaving a hospital on Angus Smith Road in Douglas with her newborn son about 12.45pm on Sunday, June 7.

Queensland Police have issued an appeal for help in finding Summa and her child, raising concerns due to the baby’s age.

Investigators are urging Summa to contact police or for anyone who has seen the pair, or knows where they may be, to come forward.

Police have not released further details about the circumstances surrounding their disappearance but say efforts to locate them are continuing.

Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is urged to contact Policelink on 131 444. Information can also be provided online.
