18岁少女莉莉·胡珀于8月12日在新南威尔士州南部高地的纳泰国家公园失踪，失踪8天后，她的遗体于周四上午11时30分左右在密集灌木丛中被发现1。这起搜救行动动员了近1000人参与，其中包括100名澳大利亚国防军人员和280名新州应急服务处志愿者2。
警方因通讯问题向胡珀的家属造成了进一步的创伤。新州警察初期误将她还活着的信息告知家族，仅在8至20分钟后才改正12。新州警察助理专员约瑟夫·卡萨尔表示，"搜救人员最初相信她还活着，这就是被传达的信息"1。新州警察局长马尔·兰雍为这一误报向公众道歉，指出"误报导致了绝望"2。应急服务处专员迈克·瓦辛解释称，搜救中常使用代码通讯，该案例中代码被误解或误听2。
新州州长克里斯·明恩斯也因收到不准确信息而在议会中错误宣布胡珀被找到且活着，随后为此道歉，表示"为我说的任何可能增加他们心碎的话表示诚恳的歉意"1。澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯在声明中表示，"莉莉被从她的家人、社区和国家中夺走，太年轻了"1。
Eighteen-year-old Lily Hooper, who went missing on August 12 while bushwalking in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, was discovered dead in dense scrubland within Nattai National Park 12. Her body was located around 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, following an intensive eight-day search effort 1.
The discovery was marred by a serious communications error that initially led authorities to inform the family that Hooper was alive. Police clarified the misinformation within 8 to 10 minutes of the initial notification 1, though another account indicates the correction came approximately 20 minutes later 2. NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Joseph Cassar explained that rescue personnel initially believed she was still alive, and this belief was communicated to family members 1. The confusion prompted New South Wales Premier Chris Minns to mistakenly announce in parliament that Hooper had been found alive; he subsequently apologized, stating: "I offer my sincere apologies for any words I said that may have added to their heartbreak" 1.
Nearly 1,000 people participated in the search and rescue operation, including 100 Australian Defence Force personnel and 280 NSW State Emergency Service (SES) volunteers 2. NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon apologized for the misreporting, acknowledging that it had caused despair 2. SES Commissioner Mike Wassing noted that codes are commonly used during search operations, and in this case the code was either misunderstood or misheard 2. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Hooper had been "taken from her family, her community and our nation, far too young" 1, while Opposition Leader Angus Taylor observed that Hooper's love of bushwalking made her death all the more tragic 1.
