A man, who recently spoke with the family of murdered Bathurst woman Janine Vaughan about her disappearance, on Monday found a human jaw bone on the banks of a local creek while walking with his son.
The human remains were discovered near the historic Bridge Hotel in the village of Perthville, about 15 minutes south of Bathurst, in the NSW central tablelands about 2pm.
After picking up the bone, the local resident took it to his mother, a nurse, who identified it as a human jaw and he drove it in to police and made a statement.
Bathurst Mayor Bobby Bourke told The Australian, which has been reinvestigating Janine’s unsolved murder, that all work on a levee being constructed on the banks of Queen Charlotte Creek in Perthville had been halted as a result of the discovery.
“I’ve been advised … that a member of the public has identified at the Perthville levee construction site what may be a human jaw bone. Details of where it came from and how it came to be on the site are unknown. NSW police have commenced an investigation with council staff and contractors assisting as required.”

I can't find anything about the finding of any bones recently in the Western Advocate.
Just seeing it reported this way, it puts a whole different spin on it, to me anyway. The "I gave him my number" at the door, now sounds like it's the fellow who's going to give her a lift to get some more alcohol. The Metro was closing, that's why they were leaving. After reading that, it really sounds like it was someone who was in the hotel. Yes, Trove is great, I especially like the archived websites, that's where I picked this one up. How wonderful to have found those photos what a gem of a find!!! It's a great site.
