From the water and from the air, officers will continue to comb through bushland eight kilometres west of Black Mountain where signals from the teenager's mobile phone last registered.
Their latest line of inquiry is to determine what Ms Bautista's movements were on Saturday morning, a police spokesperson said.
She was last driving a black Hyundai i30 bearing the registration number YHE47L.
"People may have inadvertently seen her or come across her path," the spokesperson said.
Police have urged the community to check their dashcams and report any sightings of the teenager.
On Monday, Detective Sergeant John Giles said text messages the 19-year-old Gordon resident sent to family and friends before she disappeared were of "extreme concern".
Anyone who may have seen Ms Bautista is urged to call police on 131 444.
