The body of an Asian woman believed to be in her 20s or 30s was found
dumped in the front garden of a home in the Melbourne suburb
Springvale about yesterday morning.

She had been wrapped in black rubbish bags and dumped behind a small
brick fence at the front of the unoccupied property.

Detective Senior Sergeant Jeff Maher of the homicide squad said a
Google Earth satellite mapping van had been filming the area for up to
a week.

He said the images captured by satellite could hold some clues to the murder.

"They (Google Earth) have had a van in the area for the last week,"
Det-Sen-Sgt Maher said.

"We don't know what they've got yet. It's an avenue of inquiry at the moment."

Police learnt of the Google Earth link during a door-knock of the area
when it was believed a Google Earth representative came forward.
