Police ID slain Australian woman whose bones were found in concrete wall
Police investigating the suspected murder of a woman whose remains were found in a concrete wall in Australia announced Wednesday they have identified the victim and they say was likely killed more than a decade ago.
Queensland Police confirmed the skeletal remains partially buried in the wall of a Brisbane apartment belong to Tanya Lee Glover, who was likely slain about 12 years ago.
Tightly wrapped in clothing and bedding
The department's homicide unit, with assistance from the Australian Federal Police, announced in a press release Glover's body was found on Dec. 7 at the apartment in Alderley, a northern suburb in Brisbane.
Cleaners alerted officials when they made the discovery during a routine shift.
Homicide detectives found her bones tightly wrapped in clothing and bedding and buried in a locked area behind a concrete block wall in the building.
