The man in charge of the investigation Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Sheridan said he was unable to provide further information on the incident, but enquiries were ongoing.
Campers at the domain said they were interviewed by officers who said they were looking for a “6 foot man in a black hoodie”. The campers, who did not want to be named, said they also saw police dogs roaming through the trees.
A post on the community Facebook page Ashhurst Chat stated a girl had not returned from “her afternoon run at the domain”. It also stated she was “found safe tied to a tree”.
