A small community is in mourning after the search for a missing six -year -old girl led to the discovery of a body, which is assumed to be her remains.
Airlie Montgomery was seen on Sunday at 2.15 pm in the South Coast Town Nortra in the NSW South Coast of North Nowra.
About 100 members of the community joined the search for the little girl, which wore a pink jumpsuit and no shoes.
A body, supposed to be the remains of Airlie, was found four hours after she was missing.
Krishnan, a local from Noord-Nowra, was one of the dozens that helped in searching for the six-year-old.
He told the ABC that he saw the little girl run past a residential area on Sunday morning.
“I feel very sad for the death of a six -year -old girl,” said Krishnan.
“This morning I was sitting on the couch and said a prayer for her and said bye to her.”
More come.
