Police find the body of missing Campsie woman Qi Yu
Police believe they have found the body of 28-year-old Sydney woman Qi Yu, who disappeared in early June.
The body was found at the side of the M1 Motorway near the Berowra off-ramp at Mount Ku-ring-gai on Wednesday morning.
Police said it was "wrapped", although they did not disclose in what kind of material.
While the remains are yet to be formally identified, a police spokesman said detectives believe the body is that of Ms Qi.
Crime scene investigators are yet to arrive, although police have cordoned off the area, about one kilometre from the Berowra exit.
The northbound lane will most likely be closed to traffic for some time, with lengthy traffic delays expected.
Ms Qi was last seen at her share house in Campsie, in Sydney's south-west, on June 8. She was speaking to her mother in China by phone about 7.15pm when she hung up abruptly.
That was the last time anyone spoke to her, and her female housemate reported her missing to police at 9am the next day.
Less than 12 hours later, her car was found in Burwood about four kilometres from her home.
On June 13, Ms Qi's male housemate Shuo Dong, 19, was charged with murder. At the time he was not believed to be assisting police with finding her body.
Police used phone records to track the movement of Ms Qi's car, which travelled around the Hornsby, Berowra, Cowan and Mount Ku-ring-gai the night she went missing.
Police believed she had been transported in her car, but would not confirm if she was alive at the time.
They also conducted an extensive search of bushland in Sydney's north in hopes of finding her body.
Her parents flew to Sydney from China late last month to appeal for information about their daughter’s disappearance.
"Both of us cannot sleep every night. My wife's tears run dry. We went to Ku-ring-gai national park to search our daughter," her father Zhihe Yu told a media conference.
"We went to every train station to ask for everyone's help."
Her mother Qing He was too upset to speak to the media, but sobbed "my poor daughter" as she left the room.
