A search for the brother of Adelaide Crows captain Jordan Dawson, who was missing in South Australia, has ended after his body was tragically found on Wednesday afternoon.
It followed Jaryd Dawson’s wife Jessica Carter Dawson earlier issuing a plea on social media asking for news saying her husband had been missing in Robe, in the state’s south-east, since about the same time a day earlier.
“If anyone has seen or heard from Jaryd Dawson since around 2.30pm yesterday please, please let us know,” she wrote, tagging Jaryd’s mother and sister Marian Dawson and Chloe Cane.
Jaryd and Jessica married in 2024 and welcomed a new baby boy in December.

SA Police emergency services had been searching for the 35-year-old in Robe.
“SAPOL is preparing a report for the coroner following the death of a man in the state’s south-east,” a police spokesperson said later on Wednesday.
“There are no suspicious circumstances and SAPOL is requesting respect for the family’s privacy.”
Jaryd Dawson was co-founder of Domus Design & Build, a boutique home building company based in Robe.
He was also an ambassador for Black Dog Institute, a non-profit mental health research institute connected to UNSW Sydney.
Jordan Dawson did not attend the Crows’ football training on Wednesday. The club said it was due to personal reasons.
