New South Wales Police are continuing to search an area near Dubbo for the body of a missing woman, after her suspected killer Malcolm Naden visited the site.

Police have been searching since Thursday for the remains of Naden’s cousin, Lateesha Nolan.

They have been focussing on a riverside area near Dubbo in the state’s central west.

The mother of four disappeared in 2005, and Malcolm Naden is the prime suspect.

He was arrested last month and has been charged with the 2005 murder of Kristy Scholes, an assault on a 15-year-old girl, and the shooting of a police officer during an attempt to recapture him last year.

On Thursday about a dozen officers, including a dog squad unit, began searching the banks of the Macquarie River at Butlers Falls, south of Dubbo, for the remains of Ms Nolan.

Police vehicles blocked access to the popular water hole while earth moving equipment sifted through the soil.

On Saturday Naden was brought hundreds of kilometres from the maximum security prison at Goulburn to meet officers at the search site.

Police say they are confident they are looking in the right place, and that the search will continue.
