Since Ms Armstrong’s disappearance, social media has been flooded with baseless speculation that she was suffering from a mental illness after giving birth to her son, Deshal, in February (pictured left, Ms Armstrong)
A friend told Daily Mail Ms Armstrong had shared brunch with Ms Isaacs, whose newborn daughter is terminally ill, on Tuesday morning, hours before her disappearance.
CCTV from the meet-up was released by police on Friday, showing her arriving and parking at a cafe to see her sister.
Dressed in a green-and-white striped Country Road shirt, jeans and thongs, the mother can be seen pushing her four-month-old son, Deshal, in a pram.
She can then be seen holding her baby while walking through the cafe.
Since Ms Armstrong’s disappearance, social media has been flooded with baseless speculation that she was suffering from a mental illness after giving birth to her son, Deshal, in February.
Police said Ms Armstrong was not known to them before her disappearance and there had been no concerns raised or reports made about her wellbeing.
Ms Isaacs said there was no way her sister would ‘willingly leave’ Deshal and a family friend, who wished to remain anonymous, also rejected the speculation.
They said Ms Armstrong would ‘never abandon’ her sister.

‘Jana has been a brick wall for her family and basically helped raise Faith and her brother Dean after their parents died within two months of each other a few years ago,’ the friend added.
It is understood Ms Isaacs, who was caring for baby Deshal as the search carried on, recently moved back to Toowoomba from Townsville with her family to be closer to Ms Armstrong.
‘They were both pregnant at the same time,’ the friend said.
Concerned for her sister, Ms Isaacs took to social media to ask the public for help in finding Ms Armstrong, saying her disappearance was ‘completely out of character’.
‘She would never just disappear, and she would never willingly leave her son,’ she said.
‘Being a mum is the most important thing to her, which is why we’re so incredibly worried.
‘We are asking everyone to please check your backyards, nearby gullies, creeks, bushland, and anywhere someone may not be easily seen.
‘She has to be somewhere, and we’re desperately hoping someone can help us find her.’
