| Yu was last seen by friends at a Campsie share house in the city’s south-west on 8 June. Her body was found about one kilometre off the M1 motorway exit at Mount Kuring-gai. | |
| Police search teams, supported by cadaver dogs, helicopters and marine units, have spent weeks scouring vast tracts of bushland and waterways around the area for signs of her body. | |
| Phone records suggest Yu’s white Toyota Corolla travelled north to the area around Mount Kuring-gai, Berowra and Cowan and then back to Campsie between 8.30pm and midnight on the night she disappeared. | |
| Her 2016 model hatchback was later found dumped at Burwood in Sydney’s west the same weekend she disappeared. | |
| Yu’s parents - who flew out from China in the days after she went missing - have been distributing flyers at Sydney train stations which read: “Looking for Missing Girl Qi Yu” as they struggled to come to terms with their daughter’s suspected murder. | |
| The local Berowa community also held a candlelight vigil and public prayer for the 28-year-old at the end of June to show support for Yu’s family and the searchers. | |
| Berowra Heights local Kate Glenn said the search activity had been distressing. | |
| “Explaining this to our children - why there are horses, dogs and choppers, SES everywhere for the past few weeks is very confronting,” she said previously. | |
