Woman Discovers Body in Sydney Bushland Through Dream

An aboriginal elder claimed to have seen the location of the body of a missing six-year-old in her dream. Unexpectedly, she led police to a torso believed to belong to another missing person—a woman from Sydney.

"It's very sad to say that an adult female torso has been located where the witnesses said there was a body."

Police confirmed that they had contacted the family of a missing Sydney woman, Kristi McDougall, but did not confirm if the body was hers. McDougall went missing on June 19.

Forensic teams carried out post-mortem examinations.

"A woman, she had a sense or a feeling that it was worth her while to come to this particular part of the park... It is quite unusual circumstances that brought us here, that she would think that initially and then we actually find a body."

Cheryl Carrol-Lagerwey, a local aboriginal elder, led police officers to the location where, she believed, they were going to find the body of young Kiesha Abrahams.

Six-year-old Abrahams went missing from her bed while her mother and stepfather were watching TV in the living room almost two weeks ago.

Carrol-Lagerwey says she was not a psychic but claimed that she had seen the location in her dream.

[Cheryl Carrol-Lagerwey, Aboriginal Elder]:
"I don't know, it's not psychic, it's inside you - if you have a near death experience, yeah, it's in you."

Police investigations are continuing on the Abrahams case although there have been no developments so far.
