Woman found in Gulf Harbour still remains a mystery

Checkpoint - A podcast by RNZ - Mondays

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 middled 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 light-coloured singlet with a brand emblem on it. Detective Inspector Tim Williams speaks to Lisa Owen
