Remains found three years after backpacker went missing

  • The remains of Celine Cremer, a Belgian backpacker who went missing in Tasmania three years ago, have been “provisionally identified” by police.
  • Ms Cremer, 31, was last seen on 17 June 2023 before a bushwalk at Philosopher Falls and was reported missing nine days later.
  • A privately funded search, initiated by her family, led to the discovery of her mobile phone, followed by bones, teeth, and clothing a month later.
  • Tasmania police commander Nathan Johnston said that expert reports provided "compelling evidence" that the remains were likely Ms Cremer's, offering her family some clarity and closure.
  • Ms Cremer's sister, Amelie Cremer, expressed "immense relief" on social media, stating that the family finally has answers and Celine can now rest in peace.
