Oops sorry.

"NSW Homicide Detective Chief Inspector Grant Taylor and Detective Sergeant Glenn Morfoot emerged from the back of the Trow Avenue property about 2pm carrying three brown paper evidence bags.

The Daily Telegraph understands the pair — who are overseeing the investigation — are driving the bagged items straight to the Forensic Services Group laboratory for testing"

Thanks Toots. Crossing everything for Belinda and her loved ones.

I live very close by and there were so many reporters crowding around near the house this morning that they were actually blocking the street... I hope for her family's sake, especially for her mum and her children, they come up with something one way or another and that the family find some peace and closure... The advantage being that forensics today is a lot more advanced than when it was back in 1998...

Hopefully it’s not just Belinda’s clothes police find. I’m hoping they find Belinda, or at least a clue to her whereabouts, so her family can lay her to rest.

Thanks Morrisa.

“Yesterday’s find is of great interest to Strike Force Belonidae investigators – the undergarments are consistent with Belinda’s clothing size,” Det Ch Insp Taylor said.
“We will await the results of the forensic analysis, which includes DNA testing, to determine whether new lines of inquiry can be explored.
“While we remain focused on the excavation under the house, we are renewing our appeal to the community for information that may assist our investigation,” Det Ch Insp Taylor said.

Dress, undergarments found buried under missing mum's former Blue Mountains home



The clothing was found hidden deep in soil under the Trow Avenue property yesterday afternoon.

Ms Peisley's father, Mark Wearne, said it appears that the clothing was buried in a less accessible area under the house.

"It seems highly unusual to have clothing buried under the house like that," he said.

"I feel optimistic and it is progress, but it remains to be seen what the forensic testing results will be."
