Overview

• The intensive, week-long search over roughly 500 square kilometres has been scaled back, with Defence support and other resources stood down.
• Investigators returned to the Yunta-area homestead to speak with family members and photograph key locations as part of the ongoing inquiry.
• Search teams found only one child-sized footprint about 500 metres from the house, with no clothing, hat or other traces to show a direction of travel.
• South Australia Police describe the disappearance as not suspicious given the property’s remoteness and are treating it as a presumed death.
• The case has moved to the Missing Persons Investigation Section as friends and neighbours reject online theories and ask for privacy.
