Man charged with murder after Winston Hills woman vanishes

A 58-year-old woman left home to meet a relative in Winston Hills on Monday afternoon. By Friday morning, a man was due in court charged with her murder, and police were still looking for her body.

NSW Police say the woman was last heard from about 4.50pm on Monday, 8 June 2026, when she told family she was going to meet a relative in Sydney’s north-west.

She did not return home. On Tuesday, officers from Parramatta Police Area Command opened an investigation after the missing-person report came in. About 9.30am the same morning, her vehicle was found on Dodson Street, Winston Hills.

Detectives set up Strike Force Dizek. The case moved fast, and grimly. At about 1.40pm on Thursday, investigators arrested a 33-year-old man sitting in a white Toyota Hilux in bushland along Parnell Fire Trail at Tomerang, roughly 20 kilometres south of Nowra.

Police later searched an address at Sanctuary Point. The man was taken to Nowra Police Station, charged with murder, and refused bail. He is listed to appear before Bail Division – Court 3 on Friday, 12 June 2026.

The most disturbing part is what remains unresolved: police say the woman’s body has not been located.

That detail turns the case from a charge sheet into something much heavier for the woman’s family. A car found in a quiet suburban street. An arrest hours away in South Coast bushland. A murder charge before any body has been recovered. Police have not released the woman’s name, nor have they publicly set out the alleged relationship between her and the man charged.

The investigation is continuing.
