So the police found human remains of someone else who was missing during the search? I wonder how many people that go fossicking for minerals actually end up missing?

THE mystery disappearance of WA prospectors Jennie and Raymond Kehlet has deepened with authorities calling off the massive search.

WA Police suspended the ground search efforts this afternoon, three weeks after the couple were last seen hunting for gold near the Table Top area outside Sandstone, 730kms northeast of Perth.

Dozens of police and SES volunteers have been scouring the vast area, checking numerous abandoned mine shafts in hope of finding some clue of the Beverley couple’s whereabouts.

It's sad that they've called off the search, but it is such a huge area. It's a double mystery since they found other remains!

Wait, so the remains previously reported as

What they found was another mystery all together – human remains, but not that of the missing husband or wife.

The body is of someone else lost in the desert, so badly decomposed, police say it could have been there for months or even years.

was actually the man who had been missing for 2.5 weeks prior to remains being found?

Or did police find additional remains again?

Yes, I think that's what it's suggesting..

"The remains were found in an abandoned mine shaft on 8 April by one of the search teams, but were originally felt to be too old to belong to the missing couple.

In a statement on Friday, WA police said the remains had since been positively identified as belonging to Kehlet. The couple’s family has been told. Jennie Kehlet has not been found."

Police have just appealed for the public's help in locating items belonging to Jennie.

Jennie Kehlet was most likely carrying a GPS, chain and rope, and a metal detector on the day she and her husband disappeared near Sandstone...

They have asked the public for help in finding the items in an effort to locate Ms Kehlet.

"If you have been in this area and located any items of a similar description, we urge you to contact police so the items can be assessed," police said.

Family of the missing Goldfields prospector want mystery solved

The family of the prospector found dead in a remote WA Goldfields say the "jigsaw puzzle" surrounding his death and the whereabouts of his missing wife needs to be solved.

Ms Kehlet's son Darcy said there were a lot of questions unanswered.

"It's a big jigsaw puzzle we are fumbling with at that minute," he said.

"Anything we can get our hands on would be a big help... knowledge is what we are after at the minute."

Darcy said even though the couple had never been prospecting in the remote regions of WA before, the pair were experienced bush campers.

Kehlets outback vanishing act just doesnt make sense
http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/opi...oesnt-make-sense/story-fnhocuug-1227330762058

"If Raymond Kehlet had been discovered face down on Cottesloe Beach and his wife, Jennie, last seen outside the Indiana, a task force would have been formed before the ink was dry on the front page of the paper. The detectives would still be working around the clock now, some six weeks on from the disappearance.

But alas, the Kehlets greatest crime was to run into serious trouble a long way from St Georges Terrace."

I agree, it doesn't make much sense, if she was with him when he fell why did she take all their ropes/chains/etc with her to go get help?
And why did they have a loaded gun in the car?
And why was their quad bike found 500m from camp?
