THE blurry image of a man abandoning the car in which slain Queensland mother Sabrina Bremer was last seen alive could be the key to the cross-border murder case.

Ms Bremer’s body was found smouldering on a dirt road in the farming area of Dulguigan, northern NSW, about 7.30am on August 18.

Just 32 hours later the white Toyota Camry in which she was last seen on Monday, August 15, was found parked in a cul-de-sac in Dawson St, Woodridge, Queensland.

Detectives yesterday revealed the slain woman was believed to be travelling in the vehicle at the time of her disappearance, adding a twist to the already shocking crime.

A resident’s security camera captured the sedan pulling up at the address on Friday, August 19, about 3.20pm.

In the vision, a man can be seen getting out of the driver’s seat, throwing a red item of clothing over his shoulder, checking the back seat of the car and walking casually away.

Police have seized the car for forensic examination and continue to remain tight-lipped about the cause and location of death of the 34-year-old woman.

Ms Bremer’s burning body was found propped up against a tree in the remote rural road where he was found.

A passer-by made the nightmarish discovery about 7.30pm Thursday, thinking what he noticed was a burning log.

The place where her body was found was 100km from Ms Bremer’s last known whereabouts, and came a day after she was reported missing by her teenage daughter.

Key moments in Sabrina Bremer murder

CCTV images released Tuesday showed Ms Bremer walking out of Logan police station last Monday afternoon, but her movements over the next 48 hours remain a mystery.

A team of about 50 detectives from the NSW Homicide Squad and Tweed-Byron State Crime Command has formed Strike Force Faringdon to hunt the killer down, and investigators are working to fill the void in the timeline of Ms Bremer’s disappearance.

Tweed Heads crime manager Detective Inspector Brendon Cullen said finding the car was a game changer.

“The discovery of that car opens up a whole new branch of inquiries which we are tucking into,” he said

“We want to know who was in that car with her, where that car went and how it came to be where it was.

“We need to fill the gaps in from Monday night to when we found the body on Thursday morning.”

Insp Cullen would not say how Ms Bremer was killed or what links she had to northern NSW. Ms Bremer had been due to appear in the Hollands Park Magistrates Court on seven drugs charges on August 9.

Court documents reveal the charges include possessing drug utensils and drugs including pseudoephedrine, morphine, buprenorphine, diazepam and alprazolan.

The mother-of-two failed to appear and a warrant was issued for her arrest.

Police caught up with her on August 15 and CCTV images of her inside the Logan station have been released.

The man Ms Bremer was living with and her ex-husband have been spoken to by police.

Locals have been traumatised by the murder, which former Tweed mayor and lifelong Dulguigan resident Max Boyd described as “one of the most horrifying things that’s ever occurred” in the area.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
