Authorities have announced the discovery of human remains, although forensic tests are still underway to confirm their identity. A pathologist has reviewed images of the remains, providing preliminary verification that they are indeed human, according to Hanson.

Upon making the grim discovery, the volunteer immediately informed the police. Officers from the Western District, along with specialist forensic teams, have since arrived at the site to conduct a thorough investigation.

Hanson expressed empathy for those affected by the development, acknowledging the emotional toll it might take on the loved ones of Celine. “While this discovery could potentially bring some clarity, we must first complete formal forensic analysis to ascertain if these remains are Celine’s,” he stated.

The volunteer who discovered the remains has been actively involved in the search for Celine, a testament to the unwavering community support and dedication of various search parties. Their relentless efforts highlight the community’s commitment to uncovering the truth in this troubling case.
