A MOBILE phone signal helped police locate what are thought to be the remains of beloved schoolteacher Stephanie Scott.
Officers said a triangulation of phone towers in the area helped them find the body, which had been burned and dumped by a dirt road in dense bushland.
Police believe Ms Scott was already dead by the time she was arrived at the isolated spot in Cocoparra National Park, NSW, on Friday.
The grim discovery came a day after Vincent Stanford, 24, was charged with the high school teacher's murder.
The body was located more than 70km from Ms Scott's hometown of Leeton, where the 26-year-old was due to marry her fiance of five years Aaron Leeson-Woolley today. The English and Drama teacher met her husband-to-be as a child playing soccer.

Police tape remained across the road today as officers examined evidence at the remote area.
Ms Scott's grieving sister today shared a heartbreaking post on social media — a poem she wrote for her sister and her intended brother-in-law for their wedding day. It came as brides across the country honoured the young woman by sharing photos of themselves with the hashtag #putyourdressout, and the community in Leeton came together to mourn Ms Scott wearing yellow and holding balloons.
Kim Scott's message, posted this morning, read: "My dearest Stephanie and Aaron on your wedding day. This is for you.
"My little sister, Stephanie Clare Scott, is now a wedded wife, believe it or not.
"Aaron Leeson Woolley, the luckiest man, is a welcomed honorary member to the prestigious Scott clan."

The poem revealed how the couple had survived a long-distance relationship and discussed Mr Leeson-Woolley's proposal in Thailand, before a tragic ending.
"I wish you all the happiness, for the many years to come. May you fill each other with joy and never be glum," she wrote
"I'm sure you'd all agree that their bond is unique. Special and happy, their love is what we seek.
"Congratulations to you both, now friends and family please join me in a toast to Aaron and Stephanie."

Family friend, Andrew Dunkley, had flown down from Queensland for the wedding.
"Words can't describe how beautiful she was, her personality," he told The Weekend Australian.
"I can never remember a time when she wasn't smiling — she was a really lovely person who would never say a bad word about anyone.
"People often say good things about someone when something like this happens, but this really is one of those occasions; it couldn't have happened to someone as nice as her. That's why it's so shocking, such a beautiful soul."

A memorial picnic will be held for Ms Scott in Leeton today and the family has requested the community to wear yellow in her memory.
Businesses in the local community have tied ribbons and ballots to their shopfronts and have been collecting donations for the family.
An online fund was opened on Thursday and has raised more than $15,000.

Vincent Stanford, 24, has been charged with murder. It is understood the mother and brother of the accused assisted police with their investigation.
The development came after two men gave chilling accounts of what they believed they saw the night Stephanie went missing.
Paul Halls and Brendan Lyons, both truck drivers, say they saw a man wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses speed off in white Ute.
"We rang the police on Wednesday when we heard over the radio what happened," Mr Lyons said.
Police divers from Sydney then searched a 2m deep channel where they recovered a small laptop with a red cover in the murky water.

The 26-year-old was last seen at Leeton High School on Easter Sunday, where she was preparing lesson plans for her replacement ahead today's wedding.
Police will allege they discovered blood at the rear of Mr Stanford's white Ute and pictures of a burnt body on his camera.
