Police in Queensland lead the search for missing Gold Coast magician Daniel Hidden after he disappears in bushland. Multiple outlets report that, as the search continues, authorities ask the Australian Defence Force to support operations in what they describe as a challenging area. The involvement of Defence Force personnel is reported after roughly a week passes since his disappearance.
During the operation, more than 100 people comb rugged bushland for days, according to the sources. The search effort includes police and additional personnel brought in to expand coverage of the area. Reporting indicates that the search intensifies as days pass without any confirmed sightings or new leads.
The outlets then report that Daniel Hidden is found dead following the extensive ground search. The information provided across sources focuses on the scale of the search, including Defence Force involvement, and the outcome of the operation.
