00:01Police have confirmed the body found last week in an abandoned stock dip is that of Yvonne Weir.
00:07The 73-year-old grandmother was last seen on the afternoon of February 19th.
00:12Her gold-coloured Ford Escape Wagon was found in the Rouse River last month,
00:17just 10 kilometres from her property in Dungay.
00:20Last Monday, two trail bike riders were exploring Crown Land
00:24and found her body in an abandoned stock dip just 300 metres off Kyogle Road in Terragon,
00:3020 kilometres south-west of Mwoolumbar.
00:33Detective Inspector Matt Zimmer spoke to media this morning.
00:36Here's what he had to say.
00:37That particular location is very isolated.
00:40It's about 300 metres down an overground fire trail off Kyogle Road there, very isolated.
00:47So the fact that Yvonne's been missing for the last eight months,
00:50we're very interested in that location, in particular people that may have frequented that location
00:55between the 19th of February and when her body was located last Monday.
01:00Police say they are now treating Yvonne Weir's death as a homicide
01:03and attention turns to finding her killer.
01:06Police are asking the public with any information to come forward and contact Crimestoppers.
