New South Wales police are continuing to piece together the final hours of Sydney dentist Preethi Reddy's life before she was found in a suitcase in her car with multiple stab wounds.
The Penrith woman's body was found on Tuesday , almost three days after she was last seen.
Police say her former boyfriend, Harshwardhan Narde, had hours earlier taken his own life in a fiery car crash on the New England Highway.
They believe she reconnected with Dr Narde in Sydney but are still trying to understand exactly what happened and are pleading for more information about her whereabouts before her death.
In a statement released on behalf of Dr Reddy's family, her sister Nithya says Preethi was loveable and kind and prior to her death, she had been the happiest in her life and was living her best life.
