Woman's body found in car boot after driver runs from police on NSW south coast

A woman’s body has been found by police in the boot of a car near Bermagui on the south coast of New South Wales.

It is understood police are investigating whether the body is that of Canberra woman Daniella D’Addario, 35, who has been missing since April 20.

Her partner 27-year-old Josaia Vosikata was reported missing to ACT Police at the same time.

NSW police stopped a car at Cuttagee Point about 8:30pm last night, but the driver fled into nearby bushland.

Officers found the body of a woman believed to be in her 30s in the boot of the car.

Police set up a perimeter around the area and were searching for the driver.

He is described as being of Pacific Islander/Maori appearance, in his late 20s, with an athletic build.

He was last seen wearing dark clothing.

Police asked the public not to approach the man, but to call triple-0 immediately.

Ms D’Aaddario and Mr Vosikata were last seen on Sunday evening and were believed to be in the Bermagui area.

Earlier this week, ACT Police said they had concerns for their welfare, but no evidence to suggest foul play.
