Police have not ruled out foul play in the recent disappearance of 15-year-old Malvern schoolgirl Hallie Knight. Hallie was last seen at 5.30am on April 18 after leaving her home to attend rowing training. Hallie did not report in at the school’s boatsheds that morning and has not been heard from since.

A spokesperson on behalf of the Knight family said, ‘Hallie’s disappearance is completely out of character as she always attends to calls and messages left on her mobile phone. The family is gravely concerned.’

While police have few leads at this stage, they fear Hallie may have been abducted and are currently undertaking doorknock investigations in the Malvern area. Police IT experts are currently investigating Hallie’s social media networks. Anyone with information is urged to contact the police.
