A police search in the state’s Central West for the remains of Lateesha Nolan has concluded, NSW Police say.
The search for further remains commenced yesterday, after DNA confirmed a bone located on a riverbank south of Dubbo belonged to 24-year-old mother, Lateesha Nolan, who disappeared in 2005.
Over the past two days, detectives from the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad’s Strike Force Durkin, with the assistance of police from Orana Local Area Command, Western Region Operations Support Group, Forensic Services Group and Volunteer Rescue Association; searched an area near Butlers Falls for further remains.
Following the conclusion of the search today, detectives have confirmed they have found numerous items, which are believed to be bones and bone fragments.
