Missing Queensland teen Tea Wright-Finger shared chilling ‘life lessons’ on TikTok weeks before

A missing teenager revealed details of her traumatic past in a series of chilling videos including a disturbing clip of her bruised and bloodied face – and another where she warned: ‘Always take risks in life, you never know when it’s going to end.’

Tea Wright-Finger, 19, was last seen by a friend who dropped her off near her blue Toyota Prado 4WD in Richmond in far north-west Queensland on Sunday, October 16. Neither the teen or her 4WD have been seen since.

In a video from last year, she is seen grief-stricken and emotional, sobbing uncontrollably with blood smeared over her nose, face and hand.

One video sees a distressed Tea with blood on her face and hands. While she didn’t elaborate on what happened, friends of the young woman reached out to her in the comment section to see if she was okay

It is part of a montage of clips and selfies showing her bashed-up face and later bruises as the wounds heal.  

There is no explanation given for the injuries, but she captioned the clip: ‘When it’s toxic, it’s toxic.’

She also dubbed an audio clip to the video of a man saying: ‘Now that was a lot of damage – woah.’ 

Friends reached out to her in the comments to check she was safe. ‘Hope you OK my girl xx’ wrote one, and another added: ‘Sweetheart are you ok?’

One follower warned: ‘Get out of their sis, it will get worse.’

Police and SES volunteers have conducted an extensive land and aerial search spanning hundreds of kilometres to find the young cattle station worker.

One of the teenager’s most recent clips was on her 19th birthday to reveal the lessons she had learnt so far in life, including the ominous warning that: ‘It’s okay to feel lost sometimes’.

The teenager posted a series of TikTok videos that have given a glimpse into her past including one where she revealed the ‘life lessons’ she had learnt in her 19 years

The last lesson was captioned over an eerie bleak and barren outback landscape, similar to the one where police and search teams are now hunting for her.

The video, posted in September, included a series of selfies of Tea as she went through what she’d learnt.

‘Always take risks in life, you never know when it’s going to end,’ she says at the start of the video.’

Tea’s video of her life lessons included a picture of an outback landscape where she explained that it was ‘okay to feel lost sometimes’

Another added: ‘You always have to work hard to get what you want, no one is going to hand it to you.’

She added: ‘If people want you in their life, they will make time for you.’ 

Another videos posted to TikTok before she vanished revealed her pain and anguish at the loss of loved one a year before in a touching tribute video.

She combined clips of the young man joking around with his mates and an apparent memorial service where friends and families released balloons in his memory.

She captioned the heartrending clip, posted in May: ‘Been a year since you grew your wings and left us’ and tagged it #mentalhealthawareness.

Tea Wright-Finger (pictured), 19, had been missing for 10 days after she was dropped off by a friend in Richmond in far north-west Queensland

But in Teas’ final TikTok video – posted less than a fortnight before she went missing –  she told followers: ‘I don’t feel so good, I want to go home.’

The video – featuring pictures of the missing woman and rural outback scenes – has since been inundated with comments from worried friends.

Her mother Tracy Wright revealed police have tracked her mobile phone and discovered it was switched on briefly on Tuesday morning in the week prior in the Flinders River area.

The desperate police search entered its third day on Monday focusing on the area of where her mobile phone was last traced.

SES volunteers and local community members spent the day searching tracks and areas of thick vegetation on the banks of the Flinders River and neighbouring rural properties.

The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter also scoured the area from above after it covered more than 700 kilometres on Sunday.

Ms Wright-Finger’s frantic mother has thanked everyone involved and says she prays Tea will miraculously be found safe and well. 

Tea posted her last TikTok video 12 days before she went missing

‘The community of Richmond have been absolutely wonderful. The search plane was also up looking yesterday and again today,’ Ms Wright posted on Tuesday

Ms Wright revealed several days earlier her daughter hadn’t accessed her bank account since the day she disappeared.

‘Richmond police just phoned – they got a ping off Téa’s phone on Tuesday and it was still in the Richmond area,’ she wrote on Saturday.

‘It was not until Wednesday morning that it started going straight to message bank. 

‘Because of this they have two helicopters up again today searching and driving all the roads again. They have had quite a bit of rain so the gravel roads are very wet.

‘They have pinged her phone so if she turns it on or uses it, we can get an idea where she is.’

On October 4,  12 days before she went missing, Ms Wright-Finger posted the chilling TikTok clip of herself and footage of an outback cattle station she described as home.

The post has sparked an outpouring of concern and grief from concerned friends. 

‘Please let someone know you’re safe Tèa, I’m worried about you and so is your mum and your old high school friends,’ one wrote.

Ms Wright-Finger worked at Richmond Downs Station, where she loved her job, according to her mum.

Townsville-based officers have travelled 500km to help coordinate the large-scale search. 

They hold grave concerns for the teen but have vowed continue searching. 

‘The terrain out at Richmond, particularly coming into summer, can be quite challenging,’ Townsville District Western Patrol Group Inspector Damien Crosby told reporters.

‘We have the assistance of SES, trained search and rescue coordinators, and some local Richmond Shire Council employees who have a really good local working knowledge of the terrain involved.’

 ‘Our priority continues to be to locate Tea safe and well and we will continue to search in that Richmond area until we’re given information to the contrary.’

Tea is described as Caucasian, 180cm tall, medium build and blondish/light brown hair.

She has connections to the Northern Territory, Bundaberg in Queensland and farms near Richmond in the state’s far north-west. 

Her vehicle is a blue 2013 Toyota Prado 4WD with Queensland registration 210-TLA.

Queensland Police told Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday that investigators were still trying to find Tea. 

Anyone with information is urged to call police or Crime Stoppers.
