A huge search was launched after he was last seen in the town at 12pm on Sunday, June 1.
It is now believed Mr Coleman was killed on a date between June 2 and July 7 after human remains were found.
Cops have charged James Desborough with his murder.
The 39-year-old is in custody and is due to appear before magistrates in Bodmin tomorrow.
Mr Coleman's next-of-kin have been informed.
Investigations are still ongoing by specialist forensic officers at a site in Sticker.
A woman, in her 30s, from Newquay, was also arrested last week on suspicion of murder.
She remains on police bail while inquiries continue.
Detective Superintendent Jon Bancroft said: "We are continuing with a forensic examination of the scene which is being carried out slowly and methodically.
"Our teams of officers and staff are being assisted by the National Crime Agency expert group and Home Office-approved scientists.
"A significant police presence will remain in the Sticker area as we progress our inquiries expeditiously.
"I continue to ask that people do not speculate on social media about this case."

Texas man charged over threatening Trump before he visited flood-ravaged zone: ‘I won't miss'
A Texas man has been charged after authorities claim he threatened President Donald Trump ahead of his arrival in the state, touring the flood-ravaged area, where more than a hundred people were killed. Robert Herrera, 52, is accused of posting a comment to Facebook, in response to a news story post regarding the president's upcoming visit, saying, "I won't miss," with a photo of Trump surrounded by agents after his assassination attempt last year in Pennsylvania. Prosecutors said a separate Facebook user replied to Herrera's handle, 'Robert Herrer,' writing, 'you won't get the chance, I promise,' to which 'Robert Herrer' responded, 'I'll just come for you.' 'Robert Herrer' then included a photo of an assault rifle and loaded magazines in that response, authorities claim. The San Antonio man was arrested Thursday night and is facing a federal charge of making threats against the president and interstate threatening communications. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison for each charge. Herrera was booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center, according to jail records obtained by KSAT. It's not yet clear if Herrera has engaged legal representation. U.S. Attorney Justin R. Simmons for the Western District of Texas said in a statement Friday, 'This case is an example of great cooperation between federal, state, and local law enforcement partners committed to taking down anyone who would threaten the life of the president or anyone else.' He added, 'To be clear, these types of threats will not be taken lightly, and we will always take a swift, aggressive approach, as was done here.' It's been almost a year since the first assassination attempt against Trump. On July 13, 2024, Trump, who was the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination at the time, was at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a 20-year-old gunman fired at him. A bullet grazed Trump's ear, prompting Secret Service agents to shield him with their own bodies. As Trump was being swept away to safety, he raised his fist in the air and mouthed, 'Fight, fight, fight.' This week, the Secret Service said it suspended six staffers without pay or benefits following the attempt on Trump's life, which the deputy director admitted was an 'operational failure.' Herrera was arrested the same day Ryan Routh, who was charged over a second attempted assassination against Trump in September 2024, told a federal judge he wants to represent himself at trial. Prosecutors say Routh, 59, was in the brush with a rifle as Trump played golf at his Florida club on September 15, 2024. A Secret Service agent spotted Routh before Trump came into view. Authorities say Routh aimed his rifle at the agent, who opened fire, causing him to flee. The suspect did not fire a single shot. Routh told District Court Judge Aileen Cannon on Thursday he wanted to fire his court-appointed defense team and represent himself at trial. The Herrera case is being treated 'as our highest priority' the Secret Service Special Agent in Charge Brian J. Gibson for the San Antonio Field Office said. 'This is one of the countless reasons the Secret Service prides ourselves on forging and maintaining relationships with other law enforcement agencies,' he said in a Friday statement. The Secret Service, FBI, and San Antonio Police Department are investigating the case with assistance from the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Moment brazen thief caught stuffing golden OCTOPUS down her trousers in antiques store leaving owners baffled
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WATCH the surprising moment a thief tries to steal a golden octopus from an antique shop - by stuffing it down her trousers. The unique strategy was captured on CCTV footage at Battlesbridge Antiques Centre in Essex. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 The decor is available online for £40, leaving the owner baffled Credit: Rockett St George 4 The couple can be seen looking round the shop before he indicates the item to take Credit: Battlesbridge Antiques Centre / Facebook 4 She allegedly stole a golden octopus candlestick holder Credit: Battlesbridge Antiques Centre / Facebook 4 The brazen thief walked out with it after putting it down her trousers Credit: Battlesbridge Antiques Centre / Facebook Perhaps the most shocking part is that the brazen thief managed to get away with it - at least for a few days. Although the theft occurred on July 1, staff only noticed that the oddly-shaped candlestick holder had gone missing this week. After looking back through CCTV footage, the owners discovered video of a man and a woman entering the store, before the woman takes the candles out of the holder and puts the antique down her trousers. At the start of the footage, a man in an orange top can be seen browsing the shelves nearby. He then taps on the octopus candlestick holder, pointing it out to the woman he is with. The pair then continue to stand around idly looking at the shelves in the vicinity. As the man walks over to the rotating display of jewellery, the woman appears to be getting a closer look at the eight-legged object. They try to act casual by appearing to browse other items around the shop. The woman then begins removing the candles from the display. She then starts to stuff the octopus under her trousers - not an easy feat given how large the sculpture is. 'Irish cannot handle spice' - Watch Katie Taylor struggle in hilarious challenge with TWO Hollywood A-listers The curve of its eight-legs seems to be giving her some trouble as she uses her top to hide the rest of it. A glint of gold can still be seen poking out of her jumper which she then attempts to cover behind her bag. Manager Claire Wade told Essex Live that they've only had shoplifters steal from the store a few times, and "it's mainly been young or middle-aged men, not grandparents." She said that the husband had told the woman which item to take and kept a lookout while she completed the tricky manoeuvre. Claire plans to report the incident to the police once they have reviewed all of the CCTV footage on site, as she has rented part of the centre for 15 years. She added: "We were just in shock, it's a great big thing to put down your trousers isn't it?" The item was only worth around £40 and can be bought online, as Claire said: "I don't know why she wanted it." They are using the incident as a warning to customers that they won't tolerate shoplifting. She said: "We want people to know that you can't just turn up at the centre and just help yourself. We're going to do a wall of shame." Commenters on the video were just as shocked by the behaviour as the owner was. One said: "Wow, very desperate and very sad." While another jokingly said: "Take it she didn't like the candles."

Fugitive ‘White Widow' terrorist Samantha Lewthwaite ‘is still alive and active in terror cell financing jihadists'
A new investigation has given fresh clues as to where the long-wanted extremist might have been WIDOW MOST WANTED Fugitive 'White Widow' terrorist Samantha Lewthwaite 'is still alive and active in terror cell financing jihadists' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE notorious 'White Widow' Brit terrorist linked to 400 deaths who married a 7/7 suicide bomber is still alive and active in terror cells, a new investigation has claimed. Samantha Lewthwaite has been one of the world's most wanted terrorists having eluded capture for years. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Samantha Lewthwaite 6 The wreck of the Number 30 double decker bus is pictured in Tavistock Square in central London, 08 July, 2005 Credit: AFP 6 Samantha Lewthwaite has long been wanted in connection to a string of terror related incidents 6 A photo of Samantha Lewthwaite taken from her fake South African passport released by Kenyan police in December 2011 Credit: AFP Rumours have circulated since her disappearance that she died in a drone strike. But an investigation from the Daily Mail has shed lights on the possible whereabouts of a figure linked to a series of ghastly attacks. It comes as Britain marks 20 years since the London bombings on July 7, 2005 this week, in which 52 people died and hundreds were injured. Lewthwaite, who was born in Northern Ireland and grew up in Aylesbury, was married to one of the suicide bombers, Germaine Lindsay. read more in world news PILOT 'MISTAKE' Air India pilots made fatal error after takeoff, crash investigators claim She denied knowing he planned to blow up a tube train, but her subsequent alleged involvement with other terrorists has cast doubt on that. The now 41-year-old left the UK in 2009 and went to South Africa, before heading on to Tanzania in 2011 and then to Kenya. Lewthwaite was put on Interpol's red list of fugitives in 2013 after a shopping mall massacre in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, in which 67 died. She is also accused of orchestrating the attack in Mombasa targeting England fans during Euro 2012, and two other deadly attacks in the country. The Brit has been in total linked to around 400 deaths. Security services across Africa and the Middle East have tried to track her down without any success for a decade and a half. At a court hearing in 2014, one Kenyan detective said: "She is a person with multiple identification. "She keeps moving. We think she is using plastic surgery including her nose." But it is now believed she is still alive and was spotted in Uganda as recently as last year. She is allegedly now based in Somalia, where she is part of an al-Shabaab cell - an al-Qaeda affiliate. "Despite not knowing her exact location, we believe she is active in terrorism activities under al-Shabaab control in Somalia," a source said. The White Widow was also reported to be the "main financier" of the cell, operating in a logistical role. In this position, she allegedly controls the money instead of working on the front lines. She is also said to be a fan of Beyonce and Weetabix. Police previously crossed paths briefly with Lewthwaite when investigating a property in Mombasa in 2011. A British man called Jermaine Grant was arrested when fuses and ammunition were found stashed under a sofa - and he named Lewthwaite as the senior cell member. While cops discovered she was in the adjacent apartment, the passport they found was in a different name. Lewthwaite had fled by the time they realised the passport was a fake. This was the last confirmed sighting of her. It is now alleged the officers accepted a bribe of five million Kenyan dollars (nearly £30,000) from her when they went to the apartment. In 2018, there were alleged sightings in Yemen where she was said to be offering as little as £300 to the desperate families of young women to persuade them to become suicide bombers. She has not yet been charged with any of those offences. As a teenager she was seduced by the teachings of extremist cleric, Trevor Forrest, or Sheik Abdullah el-Faisal. Lewthwaite even visited him in prison in 2006, a year after the bombings. Through el-Faisal she met first husband, bomber Germaine Lindsay who killed himself and 26 others on the Tube in July 7, 2005. 6 Germaine Lindsay and Samantha Lewthwaite Credit: ©2020 Netflix, Inc.
