It's understood Bonney had left to make her way to the shops around 5.30 pm, walking her usual way on a bush trail off Valentine Drive.
This morning officers arrested and charged a 31-year-old man in connection with the crime.
Bonney remains in a serious but stable condition at Royal Perth Hospital.

Doctors hope her condition will improve enough overnight that she can undergo a major surgery to repair her shattered pelvis.
Bonney's family is also hopeful the mother will recover from her injuries.
"I was talking her and I said 'you're okay, mum... you're going to fight... everyone is praying for you'," daughter Alkira Bonney said.
"As she could hear my voice, she was moving in my direction."
The charged man is due to face court again in the next few weeks.
