Missing 10-year-old girl in Perth suburbs

By Updated 22 hours ago2 articles from 2 sources

Consensus Summary

Western Australia police are searching for a 10-year-old girl named Lyndel Ningella who went missing from Butler on 15 August. Both the Guardian and ABC report she was last seen wearing black shorts and a black jumper and is described as about 160cm tall with long brown hair and blonde ends. Police believe she may have traveled to coastal suburbs like Kwinana, Leda, Parmelia, or Wellard, with concerns for her safety due to her young age. The Guardian notes she was seen leaving a home at 5:45pm and that police initially mistakenly reported her as located on Monday afternoon before correcting the alert. ABC states she has been missing for three days and was last seen around 6pm, though the Guardian specifies the time as 5:45pm.
