A man accused of murdering teenager Shyanne-Lee Tatnell, who went missing in northern Tasmania almost three months ago, has briefly appeared in court.
Human remains believed to belong to the 14-year-old were discovered on Wednesday on a bush track near Nabowla in the state’s northeast during a large-scale search.
Christopher Mark Jordan, 36, from the nearby town of Scottsdale, was charged on Thursday afternoon.
He briefly appeared in Launceston Magistrates Court on Friday and didn’t enter a plea to one count of murder.
Shyanne-Lee was last seen walking near the North Esk River in Launceston on the night of April 30 and was believed to be on her way to visit a friend.
Subsequent searches of the river failed to uncover any trace of the teenager.
Tasmania Police on Wednesday launched one of the biggest searches in the state’s history in bushland near Nabowla, about 50km north-east of Launceston.
A crime scene was set up where the remains were found, as well as at a property in Scottsdale.
Investigators have said it could take one week for forensic testing to confirm the identity of the remains.
Tasmania Police northern district commander Kate Chambers said police had been in regular contact with Shyanne-Lee’s family and her thoughts were with them and the community.
Jordan has been remanded in custody and is expected to appear in court on August 16 via video link.
