Overview
- Authorities say the hunt for the four-year-old, missing since Saturday south of Yunta, has moved from rescue to recovery as the operation enters day six.
- A contingent of 48 Australian Defence Force personnel was scheduled to deploy at 8am ACST to bolster ground teams already using drones, dogs, divers and aircraft.
- Investigators report the only significant clue is a child-sized boot print about 500 metres from the home, and a specialist tracker found no additional tracks.
- South Australia Police say there is no indication of abduction and the working theory remains that the child wandered from the property.
- Police briefed the family on the shift in posture and continue systematic searches of the remote station, with the family also releasing a photo to aid the appeal for information.
