"The Belgian tourist Celine Cremer disappeared in an ancient rainforest during a brutal Tasmanian winter, while it is likely her remains were unearthed during this mild summer. The 31-year-old backpacker had packed lightly to walk a relatively easy trail through the wilderness of the Tarkine in June 2023. Days later, her family reported her missing. Tasmania police made a grisly discovery in the peaceful forest this week: five bones, two teeth and a Honda car key."
"In Australia, it is more common to hear of people going missing and dying in the harsh outback, where the sun beats down relentlessly and the nights can be crisply freezing. The immense expanse of the Australian desert frustrates searchers, but the rugged, dense rainforest has its own challenges. Police think Cremer set off on the track that winds down along Arthur River, before a steep set of stairs leading to a platform for viewing the waterfall."
Celine Cremer disappeared in June 2023 after walking a relatively easy Tarkine trail near Philosopher Falls; she was last seen on 17 June. A major search began after family reported her missing on 26 June and her white SUV was found in the Philosopher Falls car park the next day. Subzero temperatures, snow and rainfall followed; expert medical advice indicated those conditions were not survivable for the likely exposure period. The official search stalled, but friends and family organised searches and an SES volunteer found her Samsung phone in December. In a recent discovery, five bones, two teeth and a Honda car key linked to Cremer were recovered about 2km from Philosopher Falls.
