Overview

• A tourist discovered Carolina Wilga walking on a bush track on July 11, a day after search teams located her abandoned 1995 Mitsubishi Delica in Karroun Hill nature reserve.
• WA Police described her as fragile with minor injuries and severe mosquito bites before she was airlifted to Perth Hospital for treatment.
• Authorities deployed a multi-agency operation over 12 days, including air wing flights, drones, dog squads and homicide squad detectives across the Wheatbelt.
• Investigators believe her van became bogged in mud, forcing her to leave a solar-equipped, water-stocked vehicle and trek through inhospitable terrain.
• Police have ruled out foul play and are tracing her footpath through remote bushland as they await her full account of the ordeal.
