wo months of uncertainty for the family of Pip Manley ended last Friday, after dental records confirmed remains found earlier in the week belonged to the missing 21-year-old Bolwarra Heights man. Just one hundred metres from where Mr Manley was last seen, officers searching scrubland on Belmore Road, Lorn found skeletal remains as well as clothing. Dental records later confirmed that the remains belonged to Mr Manley. However, an autopsy conducted on Friday failed to determine the cause of death with a lack of bone fractures casting doubt over Mr Manley being the victim of a hit-and-run accident. The 21-year-old University of Newcastle student disappeared on November 21 when he failed to return home after being dropped at Telarah Train Station by his mother, Mary Manley. All activity on his mobile phone, bank and social media accounts also ceased. His father, Jonathon Manley, launched an appeal for information on January 6. “We were going to watch the Gabba test and have a steak together [the next day],” Mr Manley said at the time. However, it was not until close to three weeks after the plea that police obtained new information placing Mr Manley on Belmore Road at approximately 1am on November 22. Continues on page 4
