Missing visually impaired woman found dead

Mabel Jamieson, who was visually impaired, went missing a week ago.

Detective Sergeant John Wilson said police had searched more than 2000 properties since Mrs Jamieson went missing.

Mrs Jamieson's body was found between a garage and a boundary fence.

Mr Wilson said it appeared she had wandered off the footpath on to the property and because of her impaired sight, was unable to find her way out again.

He said the cause of death was not known, and a post mortem would be carried out today.
He said police were treating it as a "misadventure".
