Overview

• The operation focuses on a watershaft about 200 metres from where Raymond Kehlet’s body was found in 2015, with police confirming searches there this week.
• Cold-case detectives are deploying a custom camera rig across more than 300 historic mineshafts spanning roughly 2,000 square kilometres.
• Investigators are also seeking specific missing items linked to Jennie Kehlet, including her work boots, gloves and the key to the couple’s quad bike.
• WA Police continue to offer a $2 million reward for information, while the case remains without charges following a 2022 DPP assessment of no reasonable prospects of conviction.
• Urgency has increased as incoming gold-mining activity is expected to disturb the terrain, prompting efforts to examine as many shafts as possible.
