Police have found a child’s remains in an Australian dam four years after she went missing. On Monday, June 15, police said that the bones they found at Chinchilla Weir, about 180 miles (300km) west of Brisbane, in March were of Kaydence Mills.
Detectives reportedly found the remains days after charging Kaydence’s mother Sinitta Dawita, 28, and her 40-year-old fiancé Tane Desatge with her murder. The pair have also been charged with interfering with a corpse and torture. It has been alleged that the two tortured the two-year-old Mills to death. Reports also said that Desatge is not the father of the girl but was in a relationship with her mother Dawita at the time Mills was allegedly killed.
Mills was born in September 2014 but had not been seen since 2016. The investigation into the case was reportedly launched in November 2019, three years after she vanished, to know what happened to the little girl. The charges against Mills’ mother and Desatge have also stemmed from the same police investigation.
Reports also claimed that before investigators found Mill’s bones in the dam, they searched a home in Chinchilla too, where they dug up the backyard. Detectives took the help of cadaver dogs, but could not find anything.
