Missing campers: Human remains found

Published: November 30, 2021

Police searching for the bodies of missing Victorian campers Russell Hill and Carol Clay have found human remains in bushland near Dargo, in the state’s remote High Country.

A large number of officers has been scouring a camping ground at the site of a former gold mining town called Grant.

The campers went missing from their remote Wonangatta Valley campsite in March, 2020.

Last week, Caroline Springs man and former Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn was charged with two counts of murder in relation to their disappearance.

The ABC reports that police also seized the 55-year-old’s beige four-wheel-drive Nissan Patrol.

Mr Lynn has been remanded in custody until a court hearing scheduled for May next year, and is yet to enter a plea.

Police said the remains were yet to be identified.

The ABC reports that clearer weather yesterday had helped investigators, and police were seen carting an all-terrain buggy to the search site.

It is expected it will take some time for investigators to formally identify the remains.

Don’t jump the Gun , confirm the remains first , innocent until proven guilty , unless police intend to falsify the evidence would not be the first time .
