Tristyn Bailey fought for her life until the end.

Tristyn’s family called emergency services around 10 am on Sunday the 9th of May when Tristyn failed to return home. A search began immediately, with police and the community involved in the effort. However, several hours later, the search for the teenager came to an abrupt end.
