A woman s body has been discovered in Melbourne s east, with police investigating if it is of a union worker who went missing 12 days ago.
The body was found in bushland at Willsmere-Chandler Park in Kew East about 5.05pm on Friday.

Her older sister, Angela Pucci Love, said their family was “forever indebted” to Melbourne’s LGBTIQ community and a Facebook group dedicated to finding the union worker and DJ.
“You have included us in her world without question or judgement and for that we are forever grateful,” Love posted on the group on Sunday.
“This network of amazing people ultimately led us to finding our beautiful girl and in turn meant we can put her beautiful body and soul to rest, and we too can begin to heal.”
She had the awareness she wasn t feeling great, Ms Pucci Love said. We were working very hard to get her that extra help, but sometimes those things don t come quick enough.
Ms Pucci Love said her sister was a unionist and someone who always fought for what she thought was right. She had empathy for the community around her and an interest in social justice, she said.
Ms Flack s communication had not been out of the ordinary in the days leading up to her disappearance, Ms Pucci Love said, causing additional worry for her family.
