Her Toyota Auris was later recovered and, according to the State's case, plans were already in place to find a buyer for it.
Farm employee Jeremy Sias was arrested for the murder and he is also accused of stealing her bank cards, an iPad and a cellphone.
The case was postponed to 27 November for further preparations for the trial.
