Australian authorities confirm the identification of the head belonging to the previously missing man
In a shocking turn of events, Tamika Sueann Rose Chesser, a former participant of the reality TV show "Beauty and the Geek," has been charged with the murder of Julian Story.
On June 19, Chesser was arrested, and the same day, the dismembered body of Julian Story, a missing person, was discovered at the couple's home in Port Lincoln, located on the Eyre Peninsula.
Police in Port Lincoln have been investigating the murder ever since, and on June 19, they released images and videos of a woman they allege was Chesser walking on Port Lincoln streets after the killing, which occurred about midnight on June 17. The images show a woman wearing a black headscarf and black full-body coverings, carrying a bag.
The investigation into Julian Story's murder is ongoing, and the exact cause of death has not been specified. However, police have not discounted the possibility that Story's head was inside the bag.
The remains found in scrubland in Port Lincoln on July 31 have been identified as those of Julian Story.
Since her arrest, Chesser has been in police custody, with no publicly available updates on her status or whereabouts. Along with a murder charge, Chesser was also accused of assaulting a police officer the day after her arrest.
Police have expressed gratitude to the Port Lincoln community for providing information to aid in the investigation. They issued a plea for public help on June 27 to find the head of Julian Story.
The investigation into Julian Story's murder continues, and Chesser's next court appearance is scheduled for December 18. The location where the skull was found is described as scrubland in Port Lincoln.
As this is an ongoing investigation, further updates are expected to be released in due course. The police urge anyone with information relevant to the case to come forward and contact them.
