Police in New South Wales, Australia, have ended their search for a baby boy known as Lewis after his mother is reported to have jumped from a coastal cliff with him and his sibling. The search involved marine and land teams over several days, and officers say the operation has now moved from rescue to a different phase given the circumstances.
A senior police officer gave an update on the case, describing it as an emotionally difficult moment for those involved in the search, and pushed back firmly against a number of theories that had spread online about what had happened. Police have asked the public to rely on official statements rather than unverified claims while the full circumstances are established.
The case has drawn wide attention because it involves the death or disappearance of young children in distressing circumstances, and because of the scale of the search effort mounted to find the baby. Details about the family, the exact location and the sequence of events have not been fully confirmed publicly, and the investigation is understood to be ongoing.
