Tasmanian police have discovered more human remains along with items of clothing, which they believe belonged to missing Belgian tourist Celine Cremer.
Police announced that today’s discovery – which included a bra and thermal top – was made along a section of the Arthur River near Waratah, about 2.5 kilometres from where the first bones were found.
“Today’s search resulted in the discovery of more bones, as well as clothing items – including a polar fleece jacket – that we believe are likely to belong to Celine,” Commander Nathan Johnston said.
“As we’ve previously advised, formal forensic confirmation of identity will take time. However, the location and nature of the items found today indicate they are likely to be Celine’s.
“Our search team has continued to work into the early evening today, and the plan is for police to continue to methodologically search the area tomorrow.”
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.
