Overview
- Officers revisited the remote Yunta-area homestead to photograph the scene and retrace the child’s last known movements as part of continuing inquiries.
- The search, described by police as one of the state’s largest, covered tens of thousands of hectares with aircraft, drones, dogs, divers and ADF support.
- Only a single footprint about 500 metres from the homestead has been reported, and police say there is no evidence of abduction given the property’s isolation.
- Assistant Commissioner Ian Parrott says the likelihood of finding the four-year-old alive has diminished, though investigators will keep pursuing every line of inquiry.
- An expert on missing persons urged caution over false information circulating on social media after AI-generated posts incorrectly claimed the child had been found.
