北领地警察在爱丽丝泉外围经过五天的搜救行动后，发现了失踪五岁女孩Kumanjayi Little Baby的遗体[1]。49岁的Jefferson Lewis因此被控谋杀罪[1]。这次搜救行动动员了数百名志愿者和包括北领地警察、救灾局、国防部、消防部门在内的多个政府机构参与[1]。
参与搜救的警官们在Garma节反思了这场行动。Sergeant Chris Harden表示"至少为家人带来了闭环"[1]，而acting sergeant Karl von Minden形容这是"一次独特的行动"[1]。北领地警察文化改革执行主任Leanne Liddle指出，"我们在寻找一个穿着粉色衣服的失踪小女孩，而不是一个住在帐篷营地的失踪原住民女孩"[1]。
Northern Territory police concluded a five-day search operation outside Alice Springs that resulted in the discovery of five-year-old Kumanjayi Little Baby's remains [1]. A 49-year-old man, Jefferson Lewis, has been charged with murder in connection with the case [1].
The search and rescue effort mobilized hundreds of volunteers alongside multiple government agencies, including the Northern Territory Police, emergency services, the Department of Defence, and fire services [1]. Reflecting on the operation at the Garma festival, Sergeant Chris Harden noted that while the outcome was tragic, the process provided closure for the family [1]. Acting Sergeant Karl von Minden described the operation as unique in nature [1]. Leanne Liddle, the Northern Territory Police's director of cultural reform, underscored the significance of the case, stating: "We were looking for a little girl in a pink dress who was missing, not a missing Aboriginal girl living in a tent camp" [1].
