WA Police Retract False "Located" Alert for Missing 10-Year-Old Lyndel Ningella

WA police mistakenly alerted on Monday that 10-year-old Lyndel Ningella had been found, then retracted it hours later — she remains missing. Lyndel was last seen in Butler, Perth on 15 August 2026. Police believe she may be in the Kwinana-Wellard area, 80km south. The error risks dampening public vigilance four days into the search.
