Murder detectives are now leading an investigation into the disappearance of a nine year old girl from a Blue Mountains wedding venue, as it has revealed her mother is a former ice addict who went to jail for killing her friend in a dangerous car smash.
Charlise Mutten had been staying with her mother Kallista Mutten and her fiancé Justin Stein, whose family are millionaires at their lavish property when she disappeared without a trace.
Investigators have also seized a boat and red ute as they desperately hunt for the schoolgirl, who was last seen on Thursday afternoon – with police not called until 8.20 on Friday morning.
There is no suggestion her 31-year-old mother or her partner are in any way involved in Charlise’s disappearance, or that she is a current drug user.
Police have admitted they now hold grave concerns for a missing 9 year old girl but haven’t given up hope finding her alive.
Charlise Mutten went missing in the Blue Mountains with the search now entering its fifth day.
Police divers have been scouring the Hawkesbury River which is an hours drive from where she was last seen but there’s been no trace of the little girl.
