Police investigating the killing of a prostitute in Christchurch say they have a possible sighting of the last vehicle she got into on Thursday night.
The body of Ngatai Lynette Manning, 27, also known as Mellory Manning, was found in the Avon River on Friday.
She had extensive injuries. Post-mortem results show she was dead before her body was put into the river.
Detective Inspector Greg Williams told Morning Report he is positive they are going to find the vehicle.
He said police are still looking through surveillance camera footage and he believes they will find Ms Manning's last client in either street or shop camera recordings.
Three prostitutes have been killed in Christchurch in the past three years.
The body of one of them was dumped in the same area of the Avon River.
