Search for Missing Teen in Victoria Expands
Authorities are seeking assistance from a couple who may have information about a missing teenager in regional Victoria as the search continues into its third day.
The search for a missing teenager, known as Will, has entered its third day in rugged bushland near Walhall East, Victoria. Will was camping with another teen when he walked a short distance from the camp near Stoney Creek Road and the T2 Track but did not return. The other boy searched the area without finding any trace of him.
Victoria Police have conducted extensive searches but have yet to locate Will. They believe he may have become disoriented in the challenging terrain. Concerns are growing for his safety, particularly as he was wearing only shorts and work boots during inclement weather over the weekend.
On Monday, police announced they are looking for a man and a woman who were traveling in an older white 4WD and stopped to assist emergency services in the search for Will on Friday night. The couple was seen on Stoney Creek Road between 7:30 PM and 8:30 PM.
A command post has been established in Cowwarr to coordinate the search efforts, which include local police, the Public Order Response Team, Dog Squad, Mounted Branch, and Search and Rescue Squad, along with support from State Emergency Services personnel. Victoria Police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
