Australian police believe a five-year-old girl missing in the Outback was abducted, and are searching for a man recently released from prison over her disappearance.
The girl, identified as Sharon by authorities, was last seen on Saturday when she was playing outside her family's remote home in the Northern Territory. Police said they are treating the case as a suspected abduction after finding evidence at the scene.
Detectives are focusing on a man who was released from prison earlier this month and is known to the family. He has not been seen since the girl vanished. Police have urged anyone with information to come forward.
The search is ongoing, with officers using helicopters and ground teams to scour the vast, rugged terrain. The community is on high alert as the investigation continues.
