A body found at the bottom of a cliff in a New South Wales National Park is believed to be that of missing teenager Taylor Almond.
For some time police had believed Taylor to be a runaway after she vanished from her home at Dudley, south of Newcastle, on October 12, the Daily Telegraph reports.
Reported sightings of the popular schoolgirl had emerged from as far north as Kempsey and just two weeks ago police issued a media statement saying they believed Taylor was "safe and well" and urged her to contact her family.
But those hopes were dashed when remains were found at a site just minutes from Taylor's home yesterday.
Police rescue crews abseiled down the cliff face after reports of a unusual smell.
While the body was too badly decomposed for a positive identification, nail polish similar to what the teenager was wearing at the time of her disappearance have led police to believe it is Taylor.
"The remains are yet to be formally identified and due to the state of composition this is expected to take some time," a police spokesman was quoted as saying.
The death is not being treated as suspicious and an autopsy is expected to be carried out today.
