Volunteers led a renewed search that uncovered human remains linked to missing Belgian backpacker Celine Cremer, missing since June 2023 in Tasmania's wilderness.
- On Wednesday, Tasmania Police said a bushwalker volunteer found human remains near Philosopher Falls during searches for Celine Cremer, and Inspector Andrew Hanson confirmed her family in Belgium was notified while forensic testing is pending.
- A privately led search in December 2025 resumed after the initial operation was suspended, with volunteers locating a shelter and Cremer's phone in the Philosopher Falls area.
- Private investigator Ken Gamble led about 30 volunteers with wilderness-search expertise while Rob Parsons published three videos that mobilised volunteer search parties.
- A pathologist has reviewed images and confirmed the remains are human while formal forensic testing and a report for the coroner are still required.
- The renewed private search attracted international volunteers and drew praise and scepticism online, with Parsons calling it "really heartwarming" amid mixed public and online communities' reactions.
