It's April 30th. From your city to your ears, this is Adelaide News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Police in Australia's Northern Territory have found the body of five-year-old Sharon granites after a huge search in the outback near Alice Springs. The girl vanished from her home at a town camp on Saturday night, and cops believe she was taken by 47-year-old Jefferson Lewis, who got out. Of prison just six days earlier, earlier this week, witnesses saw Sharon holding hands with Lewis as he led her away from the camp. A massive effort involving locals, police, defense forces, and aboriginal trackers combed the tough desert terrain, but it ended in heartbreak. Sharon's family is devastated, especially since she's the niece of Senator Jacinta Nampagimpa Price. The Senator called it, frightening and disturbing, urging anyone with info on Lewis to come forward. The whole Alice Springs community is rallying together in support. New evidence includes DNA from both Sharon and Lewis on underwear at a nearby crime scene.

Police are now laser-focused on tracking down Lewis, who they say murdered the child. They're warning his family not to help him hide. An autopsy should confirm the cause and time of death soon. Our hearts go out to Sharon's loved ones as the hunt for justice continues.
