A crime scene has been declared at a property in Scottsdale as well as section of bushland near Nabowla, with extensive forensic examinations currently underway.
“Police are following a specific line of inquiry, however no charges have been laid at this stage,” Commander Chambers said.
Shyanne-Lee was last seen on April 30 near the North Esk River on Henry Street in Launceston – a 50-minute drive from the search area.
Originally from Burnie, Tatnell was staying in youth accommodation in Launceston when she went missing.
“We have been in regular contact with Shyanne-Lee’s family throughout the investigative process, and have notified them about this latest development.”
“Our thoughts continue to be with them and Shyanne-Lee’s loved ones during this difficult time.”
