Recent hypotheses have arisen regarding the vanishing of backpacker Celine Cremer, following the discovery of human remains and garments spread across a riverbed in Tasmania's northwest.
Belgian traveler Celine Cremer, aged 31, went missing on June 17, 2023, following a trip to Philosopher Falls, located approximately 300km northwest of Hobart.
It is known that she planned to take a brief walk through the waterfall area but did not come back.
Her vehicle was eventually found in the falls carpark and she has remained missing ever since.
Ms Cremer was noted as absent nine days following her failure to return from the hiking trip.
Police intensified their search for the missing traveler on Friday following the discovery of human remains near the location where Ms Cremer disappeared.
Garments, such as a polar fleece jacket, were also found during the investigation.
In December 2025, Ms Cremer's mobile phone was found approximately 300 meters away from the walking trail where she was last spotted.
The vanishing of the woman inspired volunteers from Tasmania to look for her body, guided by Australian private investigator Ken Gamble.
A volunteer named Jarrod Boys found human remains, thought to be a female jawbone, on the riverbed on January 28.
Speaking with YouTuber Rob Parsons, who followed in Ms Cremer's footsteps while searching for her remains, Mr Boys shared a theory that she might have misplaced her phone during the bushwalk.
"My hypothesis is that she has arrived from the top of the hill, south of the place where she misplaced her phone," he stated.
Mr. Boys mentioned that she might have traversed the thick bushland and become lost.
"I believed it was highly probable she had crossed the water channel without realizing, entered the river, and wasn't aware if it was the same river where the waterfall is located, unaware of which way she was facing or her position relative to the carpark or any other reference point in the area," he said.
Mr. Boys mentioned that it was feasible Ms. Cremer might have traveled along the river and possibly "slipped on the bank" or "fallen into the swift-moving water."
He mentioned that he might not have found the remains if it hadn't been summer, when the "water is very low."
"It's quite straightforward to observe most of the region, particularly the parts that were submerged during winter," he mentioned.
The police stated that the search was briefly halted following the discovery of human remains.
"Crews were once more lowered into a location along a part of the Arthur River (on Saturday) after additional human remains and several pieces of clothing were found yesterday," a representative stated.
Commander Nathan Johnston stated, "Although we haven't found any additional items today, our teams have thoroughly searched for the past two days, and the findings from yesterday are still important."
At this point, the search will not continue (on Sunday), with a plan to review the circumstances.
