More than five years after his disappearance, Jeff Mundy's fate has been clarified. Police in South Australia say human remains found in Inman Valley in late April have now been identified as those of Jeffrey Robert Mundy. She was discovered by a walker who was looking for wild animals in the area.
According to police, Jeff Mundy had been seen by his family in the Seaford area, south of Adelaide, on December 19, 2020, before his disappearance. According to ABC News, he got off a bus around 6:30 p.m. local time and was then lost. At the time, Jeff Mundy was 36 years old. His disappearance became a case for the homicide squad. Now the investigators want to go through the old case completely again.
