The search for missing six-year-old Sydney girl Kiesha Abrahams has been restarted in the same bushland area where a headless torso was found last week.
Investigators from Strike Force Jarocin yesterday began searching for the kindergarten student in the Nurragingy Reserve at Doonside, a vast patch of bushland just kilometres from Kiesha's Mount Druitt home, police said.
Last Wednesday, Aboriginal elder Cheryl Carroll-Lagerwey directed police to a headless torso at the same reserve.
Ms Carroll-Lagerwey said she went to the area because she had a premonition that she would find something relating to Kiesha.
In fact the torso is believed to be that of Kristi McDougall, a Carlingford woman who went missing on June 19.
Ms McDougall, the mother of a two-year-old boy, was last seen in Homebush and had told friends she was on her way to the Ermington area in the city's west.
Police said today the torso had not yet been conclusively identified.
Homicide squad detectives working on both cases are now searching the reserve, a police spokesman said.
Investigators working on the Kristi McDougall case are still there searching for other body parts.
The torso was found on the banks of Eastern Creek, wrapped in plastic, without a head or limbs.
