Tasmania rainforest remains provisionally identified as missing Belgian backpacker
Police say remains found in a Tasmanian rainforest are provisionally identified as 31-year-old Belgian backpacker Celine Cremer, who disappeared in 2023 after a hike near Philosopher's Falls in Waratah. A private search by volunteers uncovered bones, a mobile phone and clothing, prompting renewed police efforts. With the family's permission and expert reports, authorities say there is compelling evidence the remains belong to Cremer, though the coroner will officially confirm the identity.
