Dog walker finds skull that could be linked to a murder involving former reality TV star Tamika Chesser, police suspect

Tamika Chesser, a Beauty and the Geek Australia alum, is being accused of murdering and dismembering her partner, Julian Story. His body without the head was found at their shared residence in Port Lincoln, South Australia, in June, as per the local authorities.

In the most recent reports from July 31, police were notified by a person walking their dog about finding a skull, which is assumed to belong to Story. In a press conference, Superintendent Darren Fielke of the South Australia Police shared,

“Preliminary investigations and phone calls to the forensic science centre have provided information that the remains are most likely human and I believe they are the remains of Julian Story.”

He also elaborated on how the remains were found,

“My understanding is that the person who contacted us today was walking their dog in that area.”

The Superintendent continued,

“The dog ran off into the scrub. The dog didn’t come back when called. The person has gone in to see what’s going on and that’s how those remains were discovered.”

As of now, however, there is no conclusive evidence to confirm the remains as belonging to Story and they have been sent for further testing.
