Family’s message of love after tragic discovery

The family of a 5-year-old girl who went missing from the Old Timers Town Camp in Alice Springs on 25 April have penned a poignant message to their beloved little girl, who they have requested be referred to as Kumanjayi Little Baby, after police discovered her body on 30 April.

To Kumanjayi Little Baby,

Me and Ramsiah miss and love you.

I know you are in heaven with the rest of the family with Jesus and the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Me and your brother will meet you one day.

We are giving our lives to Jesus.

It is going to be so hard to live the rest of our lives without you.

Ramsiah wants to tell you that when he sees you in heaven, he is going to give you the biggest hug ever.

Love from Mum and Ramsiah.

The family have also thanked all the volunteers who have helped with the search so far, everyone who has come from interstate, police, land councils, and everyone else that has turned up every day to look for Kumanjayi Little Baby.
