Tasmanian authorities have uncovered additional human remains and clothing articles, suspected to be linked to the missing Belgian traveler, Celine Cremer.
The police made this revelation after finding a bra and thermal shirt in a section of the Arthur River near Waratah, approximately 2.5 kilometers from the initial discovery site of bones.
“Today’s efforts led to the unearthing of more bones and clothing, including a polar fleece jacket, which we believe may belong to Celine,” stated Commander Nathan Johnston.
“As communicated earlier, the formal forensic process to confirm identity will require time. However, the proximity and specifics of the discovered items suggest a strong likelihood that they are Celine’s,” he explained.
“Our search team extended their efforts into the early evening, and we plan to continue a thorough search of the area tomorrow,” he added.
Johnston said Cremer’s family was being updated with the developments “as sensitively and promptly as possible”.
Local bushwalker Jarrod Boys made the initial discovery this week as part of ongoing efforts to locate Cremer, with a large number of volunteers continuing the search more than two years after she was first reported missing by family members.
The massive independent effort was also documented on YouTube and it’s understood Boys joined the search after watching those videos.
The teams also found Cremer’s phone in December.
The 31-year-old was last seen in Waratah on June 17, 2023, and reported missing by her family on June 26, sparking a major search operation involving SES, drones and a helicopter.
Cremer was believed to have gone on a bushwalk at Philosopher Falls, but didn’t return. Her empty white Honda CRV was found in a car park.
Police believe she got lost trying to find her way back to her car.
