Two other Bridgewater men, aged 36 and 37, have been charged with failing to report the killing of a person and being an accessory after the fact to murder.

Ms Eaton, from Sorell 25km east of Hobart, was last seen sleeping at a house in the northern suburb of Bridgewater in the early hours of Saturday February 1 after a party.

She failed to later meet her former partner to collect their two children.

Eighty police and SES personnel on Thursday simultaneously searched two Bridgewater homes and a rural property at Pelham as part of the investigation into her disappearance.

The Pelham property has been declared a crime scene and is being examined by forensic scientists and forensic officers, police said on Friday.
