Discoveries made in search for Belgian backpacker Celine ...
Latest discovery comes two weeks after human remains were found near the area where she was last seen
www.independent.co.ukHere’s the latest I can share based on widely reported updates:
Recent reporting indicates that human remains were found in Tasmania in January 2026 during ongoing searches for Celine Cremer, the Belgian tourist who disappeared in 2023 near Philosopher Falls in the Tasmanian wilderness. Police and forensic teams began examining the remains to determine if they belong to Cremer. The discovery followed weeks of renewed search activity and a prior discovery of Cremer’s phone in December 2025, which had given search teams new information to pursue.[3][9]
In February 2026, Australian outlets reported that authorities had identified or were close to confirming whether the remains found correspond to Cremer, with family and investigators awaiting formal confirmation. The case has remained active in the public eye due to the ongoing nature of the investigation and the long gap since her disappearance in 2023.[5][8]
Background: Cremer, 31, was last seen June 17, 2023, while attempting a short bushwalk near Waratah in northwestern Tasmania. Her car was found the next day, and extensive searches followed, but no conclusive trace was found until the 2026 discoveries.[2][9]
Would you like me to pull the most recent official statements from Tasmania Police or provide a brief timeline of key events and what each new finding implies for the case? I can also summarize implications for Cremer’s family and the investigation, with citations.
