Human remains found during searches near Philosopher Falls at Waratah, have been provisionally identified as belonging to missing Belgian woman Celine Cremer.
Tasmania Police confirming expert reports provided them with compelling evidence that they were likely to be hers – releasing the information with permission of her family.
Commander Nathan Johnston says there will be no further planned searches of the Arthur River area – and that Tasmania Police extends its sincere condolences to Ms Cremer’s family and loved ones.
