A family having a picnic metres from where Toyah Cordingley was murdered could hold the key to finding her killer.

The 24-year-old was was killed while walking her boyfriend's dog on Wangetti beach, 40km north of Cairns, last Sunday between 2pm and 2.30pm.

Police have received more than 500 tips in just a week, but still have no suspects and were desperately searching for new leads.

Police have received more than 500 tips about the murder of Toyah Cordingley in just a week, but still have no suspects

A man and woman with two young girls were seen picnicking on the beach before 1.20pm that day and police wanted to speak with them.

They were seen talking to a couple walking their dachshund in the beach's southern car park, and the dog tried to hop into the family's sedan.

Ms Cordingly's sister Leynah Gardiner begged the unknown family to come forward in the hope they might have seen something that could help.

'To the family who was seen at Wangetti Beach and is yet to contact police, put yourself in the place of my family,' she wrote on Facebook.

'Imagine if it had been one of your children, you would be doing whatever you can, getting whatever information you could, no matter how small it may seem.

'So I'm asking, if you do see this post PLEASE call the police and tell them what you know/saw. It might just be what they're looking for.

Detectives pieced together Ms Cordingley's movements on the day she died and released CCTV footage of her just two hours before her murder

Toyah Cordingley's body was found on the beach on Monday morning about 800 metres from where she had left her car in the southern car park

'And to everyone else, every bit of information helps so please report anything you know to assist the police in doing their jobs.'

Ms Cordingley's father Troy found her body in sand dunes on Monday morning with 'visible and violent' injuries in what police said was a 'sexually motivated' murder.

Detectives pieced together Ms Cordingley's movements on the day she died and released CCTV footage of her just two hours before her murder.

The animal lover was filmed walking across Sheridan Street in Cairns about 12.40pm, near Rusty's Markets where she shopped for just over an hour.

She was wearing light coloured crocheted singlet top and carrying a large striped colourful bag in the footage, but may have changed afterwards.

7.45am, October 22: Ms Cordingley's father Troy finds her body dumped in sand dunes 800m from her car while looking for her with a search party

Ms Cordingley then went to her home in Cairns briefly before heading to Wangetti about 1.30pm along the Cook Highway.

She drove a 2009 blue Mistubishi Lancer with the number plate 'TOY 146', which was seen in Clifton Beach about 2pm, about half way to Wangetti.

Ms Cordingley later parked at the southern car park of Wangetti beach and went for a walk along the beach with her boyfriend's dog Jersey.

It was the last time anyone saw her before her body was found dumped in sand dunes about 800m from her car about 7.45am last Monday.

Police have gone all out to get as much information about her movements and contact anyone who might have been in the area and seen something but thought nothing of it.

They set up dozens of billboards and LED signs along the highway appealing for anyone who might have been in the area in the hours around her death.

An image was also released of the victim's 2009 blue Mistubishi Lancer, which was parked in the southern car park at Wangetti Beach, south of Cairns later that afternoon

Anyone who saw the blue Mitsubishi Lancer between 12pm and 7pm on the day is urged to contact police

About 530 people have made reports since the investigation began, starting more than 50 leads, but there were still no suspects.

Detectives were seeking any photos, video, or dashcam footage between the Port Douglas and Ellis Beach turn-offs on Cook Highway between 2pm and 3pm last Sunday, and anything near Wangetti beach that day.

They also warned residents and visitors to the sleepy beachside hamlet to 'be aware of their surroundings' as the killer was still on the loose.

With no suspects, residents of the sleepy beach town decided to take it upon themselves to find answers for Ms Cordingley's family.

Organiser David 'Prong' Trimble told the Cairns Post the community was hurting badly over the loss of Toyah and wanted to do something to help.

'Everybody feels like they need to help in some way or another and they feel they haven't been able to,' he said.

Family friends have also been fundraising to help ease the family's sudden costs (pictured is a family fun day, where some proceeds were donated to Ms Cordingley's family)

Toyah Cordingley's father Troy (pictured together) was the one to find her brutally murdered on a quiet beach as part of a search party frantically looking for her

A locals-led search using metal detectors and drones will commence on November 4, while police begin to look for people in the area with unexplained injuries and missing clothes.

In a bid to support Ms Cordingley's family, residents are now stepping up. In addition to the planned beach walk, others are raising funds.

One woman set up donation points at the shopping centre and a bar in Cairns, while Wangetti resident Duane Cash would fundraise using tattoos.

Mr Cash, who owns Cairns City Tattoo and has been friends with Ms Cordingley's family for decades, told the Cairns Post he would have a flash sheet of 10-20 pre-drawn tattoos to choose from, all linked to the beloved 24-year-old.

The proceeds will go to Ms Cordingley's family, and Mr Cash says he hopes to make $20,000.
