A 61-year-old woman was arrested in Australia in connection with the murder of Tanya Glover, a woman who was found dead in the basement of an apartment complex in 2022.
Detective Inspector John Mison said in a press conference, shared by the Australian Broadcast Corporation (ABC), that the 61-year-old woman — who was not identified — was arrested by police in Townsville, Queensland on Thursday, March 27.
The 61-year-old woman was charged with murder, misconduct with a corpse and fraud, according to Nine News.
Mison said that detectives believed the woman murdered Glover, 38, in January 2010 and then moved her body into a “crawl space underneath a unit block” located in Brisbane, per ABC, Nine News and News.com.au.
He said that is where Glover’s body, wrapped tightly in clothing and bedding, was found by cleaners on Dec. 7, 2022 and first reported to police. Mison said that after the discovery, “extensive forensic analysis was conducted” in order to identify the body until Aug. 2, 2023, when investigators were finally able to confirm Glover’s identity.
“I’ve been in the police for 35 years — I’ve never come across anything like this,” Mison said, per News.com.au. “At the heart of this investigation, it was about uncovering what had happened to Tanya many years ago. She deserves that justice.”
