Authorities have discovered human remains in a wooded area while searching for a young man who went missing over 18 months ago. The man, Jake Bradford, had been reported missing by his mother on January 29, 2023. The remains, which have yet to be officially identified, were found yesterday at 10:30am off Dollar-Woorarra West Road in Dollar.
Detectives from the Missing Persons Squad, along with the Major Crime Scene Unit and experts from the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, were called to the site this morning. It is believed that Bradford was involved in a confrontation in the Dollar area around January 24, 2023. In March of that year, a 25-year-old man from Korumburra was charged with murder and is currently awaiting trial at the Supreme Court of Victoria on February 24 of next year.
On what would have been Jake's 23rd birthday, Detective Acting Superintendent Mark Burnett expressed his condolences to Bradford's family and friends. He acknowledged the difficult and emotional journey they have been on for the past 18 months and the pain that still weighs heavily on them. The Missing Persons Squad has been tirelessly investigating every lead to bring closure and answers to the family.
Superintendent Burnett hopes that the discovery of the remains will finally bring the closure that the family needs and allow them to lay Jake to rest. He also mentioned that anyone interested in staying updated on the latest breaking news, celebrity gossip, and sports news can join their WhatsApp channel for real-time updates without any comments or privacy concerns.
