Body of missing Australian hiker Lily Hooper recovered after eight-day search in NSW
The body of 18-year-old Lily Hooper was recovered on August 20, 2026, in the Nattai National Park in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, eight days after she was reported missing while hiking. A miscommunication during the search briefly and incorrectly reported she had been found alive, prompting apologies from NSW Premier Chris Minns and Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon to her family. Police announced a review of search communication protocols.
