Police Renew Search for Lucinda Miller in Neerim South Using AFP ‘Technology Dogs’

Fresh GPS with rideshare data shifted the focus to bushland near McDougal Road and Whitelaw Track.

Overview

  • Investigators began a targeted sweep roughly 3km from the 2022 search zone after re-examining location data from the rideshare trip.
  • The Australian Federal Police deployed dogs trained to detect electronic devices such as mobile phones to assist the effort.
  • The field operation includes Victoria Police with support from the State Emergency Service, federal police, country firefighters and department crews, alongside volunteer search teams.
  • Officers are door-knocking within a one‑kilometre radius and have asked non‑residents to stay away from the area for several days to preserve the scene.
  • Police released images of clothing and two vodka bottles linked to Miller, urged anyone with sightings to contact Warragul Police Station, and reiterated the case is not being treated as suspicious.
