Search for Missing German Backpacker Widens Across Australia

News summary

A nationwide search is underway for 26-year-old German backpacker Carolina Wilga, last seen on June 29 at a general store in Beacon, Western Australia. Wilga had been traveling in a black and silver 1995 Mitsubishi Delica van with WA plates 1HDS 330, and police have released CCTV footage from her last sightings. Her phone has been switched off since her disappearance, prompting police to expand the search across Australia and issue alerts for her vehicle. A burnt-out van matching her vehicle's description was recently found near Gnaraloo, but police have not confirmed a direct link. Homicide detectives are assisting, yet the case remains a missing person investigation, with authorities keeping all options open, including the possibility she traveled interstate or is in a remote area. Police and Wilga's family have made urgent appeals for public assistance as the search continues in dangerous and vast terrain.
