The search for a woman missing in the Torres Strait has been suspended after five days.
Police called off the search on Monday with no signs of the 68-year-old Atherton Tablelands woman, who was one of three people on board a boat that capsized on Thursday.
An emergency beacon was activated while the vessel was about three nautical miles off the southeast end of Mabuiag Island about 2pm, with a 34-year-old man and 22-year-old woman subsequently rescued after spending 90 minutes in the water.
They were taken to Thursday Island Hospital for treatment and have since been released.
Police launched a surface and aerial search involving multiple aircraft and vessels but all efforts have failed to find the missing woman.
