Swift water search at Philosopher Falls at Waratah

Specialist police search and rescue personnel conducted swift water searching at Philosopher Falls, Waratah today.

Inspector Anthea Maingay said the search had not uncovered any signs of missing Belgian woman Celine Cremer.

“Unfortunately today’s search efforts did not provide us with any further answers about Celine’s whereabouts,” she said.

“Celine’s car has been in the Philosopher Falls car park since at least Tuesday, 20 June and last week we received expert medical advice indicating Celine could not have survived the conditions she has been exposed to since then.”

“Our information to date indicates Celine could have been in the area even earlier than that, and we’re asking anyone who was in the Philosopher Falls area on the 17 and 18 June to contact us, whether they think they have relevant information or not.”

“We are continuing to review the search effort so far to determine next steps, and our thoughts continue to be with Celine’s family and loved ones at this difficult time.”
