Police and an army of volunteers today spent another day scouring bushland for any sign of the schoolgirl. Detectives in droves surrounded the Mount Wilson estate where the girl was last seen, hunting for more clues to explain her disappearance, while eyes in the sky scoured through the dense bush from a helicopter.

Charlise's mother Kallista told police her daughter disappeared on Thursday but didn't contact them until Friday morning. That afternoon, her fiancee Justin Stein spent several hours talking to police at Penrith, with his car towed in a nearby street while he was at the station.
