Authorities have uncovered human remains at a residence on the outskirts of Melbourne, as part of their search for a toddler who vanished over ten years ago.
On Monday, detectives along with forensic teams began the excavation process at a property located in Brookfield, approximately 39 kilometers west of Melbourne’s central business district.
The remains, which have yet to be officially identified, were discovered around 1:30 PM.
This significant find is linked to the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of a young child from Brookfield in 2014.
The remains have been submitted to the coroner’s office, where a postmortem examination is anticipated to be conducted in the near future.
The remains have been referred to a coroner, who is expected to conduct a postmortem “in due course”.
The Brookfield toddler was not reported missing at the time of their disappearance, police said.
The current residents of the home have no connection to the missing persons investigation and don’t know the people who lived there at the time.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
