Police have charged a man with murder, hours after bones were found during a search for the remains of a woman who vanished more than 20 years ago, Australian Associated Press reports.

The breakthrough in the cold case was made late on Wednesday following the discovery of suspected human remains, believed to be those of Susan Goodwin, 39, buried in the backyard of a house in Port Lincoln, South Australia.
