WA Police Withdraw Incorrect 'Located' Alert for Missing 10-Year-Old

Western Australia police mistakenly reported Monday that 10-year-old Lyndel Ningella had been found, then retracted the alert hours later. She remains missing. Last seen in Butler, Perth on 15 August 2026, she may now be in the Kwinana-Wellard area, 80km south. The retraced alert risks weakening public attention four days into the search.
