A shocking discovery was made near Sydney Airport on December 9 when the body of 33-year-old Zhuojun ‘Sally’ Li was found wrapped in plastic in bushland.
The police have finally identified the victim, and the investigation has taken a dramatic turn.
A Family’s Worst Nightmare
Sally’s family, who emigrated from China about 20 years ago, had been searching for her after she went missing earlier this month. Her mother reported her disappearance, and the police launched an investigation. Unfortunately, the family’s worst fears were confirmed when Sally’s body was identified on Friday night.
The Investigation Unfolds
Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty described the family’s devastation, saying, “They’re obviously devastated, and we’re treating this with as much sensitivity as we can.” The police have been working tirelessly to piece together the events surrounding Sally’s death.
The Discovery of the Body
CCTV footage has revealed that a silver Toyota Avensis was seen stopping on the northern side of Foreshore Rd on November 30, just days before Sally’s body was found. The police believe this vehicle was used to transport Sally’s body to the location where it was found. Superintendent Doherty said, “We believe that vehicle was used to convey the body of Sally to Foreshore Drive and to conceal her body in the bushes there after they disposed of her in the bushland.”
The Search for Sally’s Husband
The police are now searching for Sally’s husband, Jai-Bao ‘Rex’ Chen, who is also 33 years old. There are grave concerns for his welfare, and the police are unsure if he is a victim or suspect in the case. Superintendent Doherty said, “We’re not sure whether Rex is alive or dead. We’re hoping that he is alive so we can actually assist with our inquiries as the investigation unfolds.”
A Mysterious Death
The police are baffled by the unusual circumstances of Sally’s death. Superintendent Doherty described it as a “suspicious death” and a “brutal” killing. The police are looking into people who may have wanted to harm Sally and are examining whether any third parties may have been involved.
The Investigation Continues
The police are urging anyone with information to come forward as they continue their investigation. Superintendent Doherty said, “This is a very sad, tragic death of someone who’s lost their life in not only an unusual way, but a suspicious and brutal way.” The police are determined to get to the bottom of this mysterious case and bring justice to Sally and her family.
