The Thelma and Louise-style fugitives who escaped from prison on Sunday may have picked up a getaway car.
Tegan Simpson, 24, and Abigail Graf, 21, have been missing since absconding from a 700 hectare open prison in Numinbah Valley, 100km south of Brisbane.
The pair remain on the run almost a week later and allegedly acquired a vehicle soon after the break-out.

Police say members of the public have been sending in reports of sightings of the escapees, but none have been confirmed in recent days.
Authorities were alerted when the pair weren’t marked as present during a routine headcount at 11pm on Sunday September 12.
The recently-dumped boyfriend of Simpson said on Tuesday he believed the pair were en route to the NSW border.

Joseph Milanov told News Corp he and Simpson had ‘loved each other from day dot’, but she had dumped him on the phone last week.
He believed she and accomplice Graf, 21, were headed for Mullumbimby – a small town just north of Byron Bay – and not even a 90 minute drive from the Numinbah Correctional Centre.

‘I just want her to hand herself in, but obviously she’s not really for that,’ Mr Milanov said.
‘[An associate] told me they were headed for Mullumbimby — I think it’s in NSW. I don’t even know what’s there or why anyone would go there.’
Mr Milanov said the pair had been dating for some time, which included jail sentences for both of them.
‘I went to jail and we were still together, but I found out she was playing up,’ he said.

The pair had reconciled when Mr Milanov was released, but he said she called him from prison last week to break up with him.
She told him: ‘I’m done. Bye,’ before hanging up on him.
As news of their escape reached media outlets, friends appeared surprised by Simpson’s actions.
‘Wow, didn’t think she had it in her,’ one man wrote on her Facebook.
