Extraordinary new details have emerged about how police think a missing mother-of-three could have died.
Detectives believe Natarn Auld may have been killed after getting into an industrial bin moments before it was taken away by a rubbish truck.
Ms Auld, 38, who has not been seen since she vanished from her home in Capalaba in Brisbane‘s south at 3am on December 14, 2020, was reportedly known to rummage through charity bins, the Courier Mail reported.
Her bank account and phone have not been touched and she has not posted to social media since she was last sighted after telling a friend she was going to buy cigarette papers.

Police have spent the past two months painstakingly investigating Ms Auld’s disappearance, including tracking her mobile phone and trawling through hours of CCTV footage.
Detectives have now managed to track her phone from Capalaba to the Northgate area, about 25kms away, at the same time a garbage truck was collecting rubbish in the morning.
Ms Auld’s last confirmed sighting was at 3.30am on December 14 on Redland Bay Rd at Capalaba, where she was captured on CCTV walking alone.
Investigators found her phone remained at the location for the next 40 minutes, before tracking to Brisbane’s north.
Despite an extensive investigation, Ms Auld has not been seen on any other CCTV footage afterwards with police believing there is nothing to suggest she had been separated from her phone.
Detectives are reportedly examining whether Ms Auld may have fallen alseep in the rubbish bin.

Police in December released CCTV footage taken at a BP service station at Capalaba at the night before her disappearance
Police in December last year released CCTV footage taken at a BP service station at Capalaba at 11.50pm the night before she went missing, showing Ms Auld checking out at the counter buying a coffee and food.
Detectives and SES volunteers later launched a search of bushland in an industrial area at Nudgee, west of the Gateway Motorway, as police divers scoured the Nudgee Creek – but the search was called off hours later after no sign of Ms Auld.
A report is being prepared for the coroner.
