Uber driver helped police find remains in search for missing Victorian woman
Information from an Uber driver helped detectives find human remains believed to belong to missing woman Lucinda Williams on the third anniversary of her disappearance.
Her death is not being treated as suspicious.
Acting Inspector Paula Linford told reporters the remains still need to be forensically examined however said they are "consistent" with Miller.
Her body was found just 80 metres off the road in thick bushland.
It is still "very very early" days to determine a cause of death, Linford said.
She described Miller as "very unwell".
"That's about all I can say about that," she added.
A member of the public gave police some information and a "new place to start", which led them to look into rideshare data.
An Uber driver then provided new intel to help pinpoint Miller's location.
"At the time, that was what he remembered," Linford said.
"But the new information that we received gave us the new location."
Clothing and a vodka bottle was found in the search.
Police used dogs capable of sniffing out electronic devices in the hope of finding Miller's phone.
However, her phone has not been located.
