New mother Jana Armstrong, 30, has gone missing in Queensland, Australia, and her friends and family have publicly rejected suggestions that she may have harmed herself while suffering from post-natal depression. They insist she would never willingly abandon her family, pointing in particular to her devotion to her baby son and her younger sister, whose newborn daughter is terminally ill. The case has prompted fears of foul play, and forensic investigators have been examining what is understood to be Jana's home.

Jana was last seen at a unit on Gordon Avenue in the Toowoomba suburb of Newtown on Tuesday, 7 July 2026, and her white Hyundai Kona was found nearby on the corner of Jellicoe Street and Gordon Avenue at around 6am the following day. A friend said she had shared brunch with her younger sister, Faith Isaacs, on the Tuesday morning. Since her disappearance, social media has been filled with what the article describes as baseless speculation about her mental health following the birth of her much-wanted son, Deshal, in February. Both Faith and an anonymous family friend have hit back, saying she would never leave Deshal or abandon Faith at such a difficult time.
