Police Appeal to Find 14-Year-Old Girl Missing from Warilla - Warilla, NSW
Smart summary
Police and family are concerned for the welfare of a 14-year-old girl who was last seen in Warilla on Tuesday morning.
Police are appealing for public assistance to locate a 14-year-old girl who has been reported missing from Warilla, in the Illawarra region of New South Wales. Officers began searching for the teenager after she could not be located or contacted by her family.
The girl, Liarna Peters, was last seen in Warilla at approximately 9:30am on Tuesday, 6 October 2026. When she could not be contacted or located, officers attached to the Lake Illawarra Police District were notified shortly after midnight on Wednesday, 7 October, and commenced inquiries into her whereabouts. Police said both officers and her family hold concerns for her welfare because of her young age.
Liarna is described as being of Caucasian appearance, approximately 150 to 160 centimetres tall, with a thin build and long brown hair. At the time she was last seen, she was reportedly wearing a grey T-shirt, black jeans and black-and-white shoes.
Investigators are making inquiries across the Illawarra region and are seeking information from anyone who may have seen Liarna since she was last sighted. Police have indicated that she is known to frequent several areas, including Warilla, Oak Flats, Berkeley and Mount Druitt, and information about sightings in any of these locations could assist investigators.
The circumstances surrounding her disappearance have not been publicly detailed, and police have not indicated that a particular crime has occurred. The immediate priority is to establish where the teenager is and ensure that she is safe. Missing-person investigations involving young people can require police to examine recent movements, possible contacts and locations where the person may have travelled.
Police are asking members of the public to remain alert and contact authorities if they have information that could help locate Liarna. Anyone who believes they may have seen her or knows where she could be is encouraged to contact Lake Illawarra Police or Crime Stoppers. Information can be provided confidentially.
Authorities have not released additional details about the circumstances that led to Liarna being reported missing. Her family is understandably concerned, and police are continuing inquiries to establish her whereabouts.
The appeal comes as officers continue to work with the family and the wider community to locate the teenager. Even apparently minor information, such as a sighting or possible location, may help investigators piece together her movements after she was last seen.
Anyone with information about Liarna Peters' whereabouts is urged to contact Lake Illawarra Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. The public is reminded not to approach or confront anyone themselves if they believe they have information relevant to the investigation; instead, information should be passed directly to police.
