The body of a man believed to be Robert Synder, who went missing more than four months, ago has been located in bushland south-east of Perth.

The 62-year-old grandfather was last seen at his Melville home about 12pm on October 24, before being spotted driving his white Subaru Forester in Oakford about 10 minutes later.

Police on Monday revealed they had discovered “human remains” after responding to reports of an abandoned white Subaru Forester on a bush track in the Jarrahdale State Forest on Friday.

“Human remains were located in close proximity to the abandoned vehicle,” a police spokesperson said.

“The circumstances do not appear suspicious, and a report will be prepared for the Coroner.”

Mr Snyder’s daughter, Teneil Snyder, previously described her father as a beloved grandfather and said his disappearance was “very unusual”.

“He is a respected engineer, adored poppy and loving husband, father, son and uncle,” she told The West.

“He has five grandchildren that he adores and is planning his soon-to-be retirement to work on and build cars with them.”
