Woman found dead in Brisbane River; investigation ongoing

Police are investigating the death of Crystal Beale, a 49-year-old mother found in the Brisbane River after meeting her former partner following dinner with her children. Initially deemed non-suspicious, her death is now classified as suspicious. Beale was last seen on February 21, after dining in Sunnybank. She was later driven to West End, where police believe she met her ex-partner. Authorities have not charged him and are exploring other possibilities, including a random attack. CCTV footage shows Beale at the restaurant, and police are seeking information from the public. The cause of death is still unknown, pending toxicology results.
