Police can confirm a member of a search team has today located what are believed to be human remains in the George Town area in Northern Tasmania.
While forensic testing is yet to be completed, the remains are believed to be an adult human and were located during a search for missing George Town man, Michael Vrankovic, who was last seen in the George Town area on 13 January.
Inspector Melanie Groves said the volunteer contacted police immediately after the discovery, and police, including specialist forensic personnel, are attending the scene.
“At this stage a formal identification is yet to be conducted, and that process will take time, which may be several weeks,” she said.
“Following today’s discovery, Mr Vrankovic’s family has been notified, and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.”
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
