A homicide squad investigation is under way after tradies unsuspectingly dug up human remains in a backyard on Victoria’s Phillip Island yesterday.
The skull and bones were found yesterday in a shallow grave in Greg’s backyard.
The discovery sent the rumour mill in Phillip Island into overdrive, with many believing that the finding could be linked to the mum, who vanished in 1986.
But her body has never been found.
“So when remains are found, it’s only natural that people think, well, if she didn’t jump off the bridge, she has to be somewhere,” Petraitis said.
The mystery will be solved by forensic testing, expected to take months.
Police originally told the owners they’d be digging for several days, but were done in a matter of hours, saying they retrieved everything they needed.
“It would be nice if someone got closure, it really would,” Greg said.
