A team of police divers will search for the remains of missing mother-of-four Lateesha Nolan in a river in central western NSW on Monday.
Accused murderer Malcolm Naden was led to the Macquarie River on Saturday, resulting in the search being moved about 50 metres downstream.
Naden, the prime suspect in the murder of Ms Nolan, his cousin, was returned to Goulburn’s Supermax jail on Sunday, where he has been held since being captured in March after seven years on the run.
Detectives began excavating parts of the Macquarie River bank at Butlers Falls, south of Dubbo, on Wednesday.
The search will continue on Monday as part of Strike Force Durkin.
“Police are confident they are searching the correct area, however two major floods have been through since 2005, which is hampering the search,” a NSW police spokesman said.
Ms Nolan was 24 when she disappeared from Dubbo in January 2005 and her abandoned Ford Falcon was found next to the river the following day.
