THE death of a woman found in the boot of a car in bushland south of Sydney was "absolutely horrific", police say.
The body of the 41-year-old, named in media reports as Linda Stevens, was discovered by police in the boot of her Kia sedan in bushland at Corrimal, near Wollongong, on Thursday evening.
Police had originally been responding to reports of a car driving erratically in the area about 2.45pm that day.
Officers found the car in bushland on Thursday afternoon but couldn't locate its female owner.
After looking for the owner at a home on Bligh Street in Wollongong the officers returned to the vehicle and made the gruesome discovery.
Detective Inspector Tim Beattie did not provide details about the woman's injuries but said the death was horrific.
"It's horrific, absolutely horrific for all involved," Mr Beattie told reporters outside Wollongong police station on Friday.
He said police were treating the death as a homicide, and crime scenes had been set up at bushland near Foothills Road and at a residence at Bligh Street.
He said the dead woman was known to police but he would not comment on whether the death was thought to be drug related or if the woman was dead when she was placed in the boot.
A neighbour who had known Ms Stevens for more than three years told Fairfax Media she was a "lovely" woman.
"She's a lovely person, never done anything wrong, she was always quiet, just dropped off her little boy to school and picked him up," Melissa Cruickshank said.
There was no reason for officers initially to look in the car boot because they were responding to a "low-level" driving complaint, Det Insp Beattie said.
He said the woman left behind a family member who lived in a Bligh Street unit block.
He appealed for anyone who may have seen a white Kia Rio sedan driving erratically in the northern suburbs of Wollongong on Thursday to contact police.
