The investigation is ongoing in relation to the suspicious death of 78-year-old Toowong woman, Lesley Trotter.
Extensive investigations by homicide detectives indicate Lesley Trotter’s body was inside a general waste ‘wheelie’ bin on the footpath of Maryvale Street, Toowong on the morning of Tuesday, March 28.
It is believed Lesley Trotter was already deceased at that time, however, her remains have not been located.
The bin was collected by a rubbish truck later that morning, during the weekly waste collection on Maryvale Street.
The truck was one of 23 trucks that attended Nudgee Waste Transfer Station, with the contents from each of these trucks sent to landfill sites at Rochedale and Swanbank.
These respective sites have been secured and a search will be conducted once further information is obtained to narrow the extensive search area.
Trucks will be prevented from further dumping in these sites to preserve the search area.
Forensic examinations of a number of items are continuing.
Detectives renew their appeal for anyone with relevant information, dashcam vision or CCTV, particularly between 5am and 7am on Tuesday, March 28, to come forward.
