The bodies believed to be those of missing campers Russell Hill and Carol Clay could have been burned before being buried.

The two bodies could have been set on fire a few feet from where remains were found in the bush in a remote area of ​​East Gippsland, Victoria, reports the Herald Sun.

Human remains were found in the historic Grants area, near the remote town of Dargo, 320 km northeast of Melbourne, on November 30 – nearly two years after Mr Hill and Ms Clay went missing .

The remains have not yet been officially identified, and DNA test results are expected to take some time.

Missing Persons team detectives meticulously searched the scene last week, using the same chemists who examined Mr Hill and Ms Clay’s original campsite when they were first reported missing in 2020, reports the publication.

Police handling the case are awaiting forensic test results from a Nissan Patrol vehicle that has been seized.

The Herald Sun says police are also looking for a trailer sold on Gumtree that could help police with their investigation.
