A body believed to be that of 18-year-old Lily Hooper has been located in Nattai National Park, New South Wales, according to local media. The discovery came after a search operation that began following reports of her disappearance.
Lily Hooper was last seen heading out for a bushwalk on Wednesday of the previous week. Authorities have confirmed that the body found in the bushland is believed to be hers. The search, which involved local emergency services and volunteers, concluded after eight days of efforts.
No official confirmation has been released yet, but the identification is based on preliminary assessments. The area where the body was found is known for its dense bushland and rugged terrain, making the search challenging.
Authorities are expected to conduct further investigations to confirm the identity and determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
