Description
NSW Police have apologised "unreservedly" after the family of missing bushwalker Lily Hooper were mistakenly told she had been found alive.
The 18 year old's disappearance sparked an eight-day search in the New South Wales Southern Highlands.
Hopes were raised for a short time due to a miscommunication, but a body believed to be that of Ms Hooper was located in bushland.
