基本上這則新聞已經發生很久了，我現在post是最新消息，看來背包客Britt的屍體已經找到了…可憐的父母親還是透過媒體才知道這樣的消息，真不懂為什麼不是從克羅埃西亞國家當局說出呢= =
新聞如下：
When Dale Lapthorne flew to Croatia to search for his missing daughter Britt, he vowed he would not return to Australia without her.
The Melbourne father will fulfill that pledge in the saddest of circumstances with news Saturday that DNA tests confirmed a body found off the coast of Dubrovnik is that of his 21-year-old daughter.
Mr Lapthorne, his wife Elke and son Darren were extremely distressed on receiving the news about 5am (AEDT), they said in a statement released Saturday.
Mr Lapthorne and his 25-year-old son are still in Dubrovnik, having travelled to the tourist town to find Britt.
Family spokeswoman Jacqueline Pascarl told AAP she believed Britt's father and brother would not return to Melbourne until they could bring Britt home.
A spokesman for the hotel where Britt's father and brother were staying said Dale felt sick and was unable to address the press, Croatian news site Javno reported.
Overnight, Dubrovnik deputy police commander Ivan Kukrika told a press conference that DNA analysis had confirmed the identify of the body.
"DNA analysis has been completed in the capital, Zagreb," Kukrika said.
"According to the analysis, the body found in the sea on October 6th belongs to the missing Australian Britt Lapthorne."
The Lapthornes have experienced a roller-coaster ride of emotions since Ms Lapthorne went missing about three weeks ago.
She was last seen at a Dubrovnik nightclub in the early hours of September 18.
The family learnt through the Australian media that a body had been discovered on Monday in a bay not far from the town centre where Britt was last seen.
Croatian police had initially said the body - discovered by a local fisherman - was unlikely to be Britt because it was too badly decomposed.
Then Friday, a detective assigned to the case from Zagreb told the family media reports that the remains were those of a young, petite, blonde female were incorrect.
The family has critical of the Australian government, Australian Federal Police and Croatian police for what they said was lack of support and urgency.
Friday, Mrs Lapthorne's frustration was evident when she spoke to media.
"I'm losing hope. There are not highs anymore, only lows. It's a roller-coaster ride going down, down, down all the time," she said.
She said the Australian government was starting to take the case seriously, albeit too late, but she was still sceptical about Croatian authorities.

Croatia is located between South-Central Europe and Middle Europe. Its shape resembles that of a crescent or a horseshoe, which flanks its neighbours Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. To the north lie Slovenia and Hungary; Italy lies across the Adriatic Sea. Its mainland territory is split in two non-contiguous parts by the short coastline of Bosnia and Herzegovina around Neum.
Croatia：克羅埃西亞，the capital(首都) is Zagreb(札格拉布)，位於中歐、南歐、西歐交界處，國土狹長而曲折，鄰國有Slovenia(斯洛維尼亞)、Hungary(匈牙利)、Serbia(塞爾維亞)、Montenegro(蒙特內哥羅)、Bosna i Hercegovina(波赫)等國。克羅埃西亞西臨Adriatic Sea(亞得里亞海)，隔海與Italy(義大利)相望。
