Victoria man Jason Cooper, 44, believed to be Ms Francis' ex-boyfriend, has been charged with her manslaughter and interfering with a corpse.
He was extradited from Victoria and appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court last June, where he was remanded in custody.
Police believe Ms Francis was killed between October 14 and 24, 2018 at a unit on the esplanade at Torquay, a town at the east end of Victoria's Great Ocean Road coastal drive.
Cooper also allegedly stole a dress, make-up case, mobile phone, bank card and identification cards from Ms Francis.
He is accused of interfering with her corpse some time before December 16, 2018.
