Suspected human bones found at popular Adelaide beach

South Australian police say they have found two bones, believed to be human, on Maslin Beach, about 40 kilometres south of Adelaide.

A member of the public first discovered a bone while walking along the beach on Tuesday night, and alerted police on Wednesday morning.

Detective Chief Inspector Scott Fitzgerald said forensic investigators had since analysed the bone, and believed it to be a human forearm.

"We suspect that that bone … is relatively recent, a couple of months up to a year old," he said.

Mr Corigliano-Quealey was last seen in public in Lonsdale on Thursday, October 8 last year about 12.15pm when he dropped his car at a mechanics.

Police believe he went home before his disappearance, as he left behind his wallet, phone, keys and car.

His mother, Jane Corigliano, told the Adelaide Advertiser last year that it was “out of character” for her son to leave everything.

“I was a bit worried about him (last time I saw him) because he was acting a bit bizarre … and he was a bit paranoid,” she said in November.

At the time, she said it had been “just terrible not knowing what happened to him”.
