Rob Parson’s retrace and effort was so good. Great work from Ken Gamble too.

Something critical likely occurred at the top of the range. The conditions were life threateningly cold, wet, steep, and exposed and it would have been physically and cognitively brutal for her. If Celine reached that point, the fact that neither she nor her phone moved further suggests she became incapacitated, disorientated and immobilised.
Injury, hyperthermia? They had dogs in the many searches too didn’t they? How has nothing at all been found?

This case is a haunting reminder of how quickly a simple walk can turn tragic in remote wilderness. The Philosopher Falls track is short and well-marked, but venturing off-trail in the Tarkine is perilous. The complete absence of physical evidence is baffling and heartbreaking.

Most evidence I can find seems to support a theory of misadventure, possibly after becoming disoriented. Basing this on:

• GPS shows erratic movement off-trail.
• Terrain is confusing and unforgiving.
• Weather was cold, wet, and snowy—conditions deemed non-survivable by medical experts.
• No signs of foul play have emerged.

The lack of physical evidence (e.g., clothing, phone, remains) is striking. Even cadaver dogs found nothing. Could she have fallen into a concealed ravine or watercourse?
