Investigation Details

In the period since Ms Koreli's disappearance, officers have conducted searches of her home, reviewed hundreds of hours of CCTV footage, and carried out specialist searches in water near Danson Park. Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley, leading the investigation, stated that Ms Koreli's family continue to experience the distress of not knowing what has happened to her. He added that the investigation remains active and all available lines of inquiry are being pursued. Ms Koreli had numerous friends and acquaintances in the Bexley area.
