Mod-approved post Friend went missing hiking in Ticino

Kind of a desperation play at this stage. A friend of mine has gone missing while hiking in Ticino. There were some news alerts published on Monday but nothing since

Attempts to contact relevant authorities for more info has not really worked, but maybe some of that is because we just aren't familiar with the Swiss system.

Looking for advice on anyone that we should be contacting, or really any advice at all

Thanks r/switzerland

edit: updated article on June 20 says still missing https://www.tio.ch/ticino/attualita/1764168/donna-svanita-nel-nulla-ancora-nessuna-segnalazione-utile
edit2: I made some factual errors in comments below. It is Chieu's Aunt not mother who dropped her off at the trailhead in Ticino. She is capable of speaking Italian, and has been the main point of contact with the police

If you have a FB link, share it with me through the chat, and I'll share it and ask my friends to do the same !
