Overview
- Dominic O'Connell, 61, was last seen near the lower plunge pool at Edith Falls on Sunday between about 1pm and 3pm and has not been located.
- Northern Territory Police and Parks and Wildlife NT rangers carried out an extensive on‑site search and police divers are due to begin searching the water on Monday morning.
- Police say Mr O'Connell was visiting with his wife and provided a detailed description, and they are urging anyone who was at the plunge pool between 1pm and 3pm to contact investigators.
- Edith Falls remains open to visitors generally but the lower plunge pool is closed to the public and access is restricted to search personnel only.
- The disappearance comes after repeated search-and-rescue responses at Edith Falls, including a July last year recovery of a 57-year-old tourist from the lower pool and an unresolved 2018 disappearance, factors that have informed the current operation.
