An extensive land and air search of the area was conducted by police, which failed to locate him. The investigation was referred to Missing Person Unit.

Just before 3pm on Monday police received a report of human remains being located three kilometres from the Yambah Station homestead.

Forensic officers have confirmed the human remains are those of Kumanjayi Jones.
