Missing four-year-old Tasmanian girl found alive
Missing four-year-old Shayla Phillips has been found alive after she vanished from the yard of her Tasmanian home more than two days ago.
Shayla disappeared on Wednesday afternoon from her remote family property in Stormlea, in Tasmania’s south-east, which sparked an extensive search.
Tasmania Police confirmed she was found this afternoon in bushland near Halls Road in Stormlea.
She has been taken to hospital for a medical assessment.
Both Tasmanian and Victorian police resources had been poured into the search for the little girl.
Drones, heat-seeking technology and sniffer dogs were used by emergency crews hoping to find the girl alive.
Many volunteers joined the search for the four-year-old over the past three days.
More to come.
