Woman found in Gulf Harbour still remains a mystery

From Checkpoint, 4:07 pm on 20 March 2024

The identity of a woman whose remains were hidden in rubbish bags and found floating in Gulf Harbour remains a mystery.

A fisherman reeled the remains in thinking they were a log or an animal, only to make the grissly discovery of a hand, after tearing open the layers of plastic.

That was 8 days ago. Police have described the woman as middle aged and small in stature; possibly of Asian descent.

She was wearing what appears to blue pyjama pants with a distinct pattern on them, and a light-coloured singlet with a brand emblem on it.

Detective Inspector Tim Williams speaks to Lisa Owen.
