Detective Superintendent Andrew Massingham told media on Tuesday investigators had narrowed down where the body of Lesley Trotter, 78, may be. Read the latest here:
The body of a missing retired Brisbane teacher was dumped in a wheelie bin, picked up by a rubbish truck and taken to a waste site, police believe.
Massingham said the bin was picked up that morning by a rubbish truck, which went to a waste transfer station at Nudgee. “Those semi-trailers made their way to dump sites at both Rochedale and Swanbank, with Rochedale taking one truck and Swanbank taking five trucks.“The location of that rubbish at each of those sites has now been quarantined, in fact it was quarantined over the weekend.
Massingham last week told reporters police were investigating whether Trotter’s habits of checking her neighbours had placed their recycling into the correct bin had contributed to her death.
