Tasmania Police Provisionally Identify Remains as Missing Backpacker Celine Cremer

The case now moves to the coroner for formal identification after expert reports on items recovered near the Arthur River.

Overview

  • Police said expert reports provide compelling evidence the remains are likely those of Celine Cremer, a statement released with her family's permission.
  • Authorities confirmed no further searches are planned for the Arthur River following the recent recoveries.
  • Subsequent operations located bones, two teeth, clothing and a Honda car key that police verified belonged to Ms Cremer.
  • A privately funded team found her phone in December 2025, and volunteer searcher Jarrod Boys discovered remains in late January, prompting specialist follow‑up searches.
  • Investigators have a working view that her death was likely misadventure, while Cremer’s family expressed relief and said DNA and dental checks matched her pending the coroner’s decision.
