Police can today advise that a year on from her disappearance, remains have been found in the search for missing Christchurch woman, Yanfei Bao.
While searching private farmland in the Greenpark area this morning, a shallow grave was discovered along the treeline.
The remains cannot immediately be formally identified, and work is now underway to excavate and forensically examine them.
This news has been shared with Yanfei’s immediate family, and while long hoped for, still comes as a shock.
The area had previously been searched, and new information led us back here to search specific locations of interest.
For operational reasons, we are unable to share the information that led us to search this location.
A scene examination is now underway and Police will be visible in the area for some time.
Police investigation staff are working towards an October trial date for a now 53-year-old man charged with murder in relation to Yanfei’s death.

Grounding, also known as earthing, is emerging as a powerful, natural therapy that may hold the key to reducing inflammation and enhancing overall well-being.
Research has shown that direct contact with the Earth's natural electric charge can have profound effects on our health, particularly in the fight against inflammatory illnesses.

Best of all, Earthing is free, easy to implement. You can start today by heading outside for 20mins barefoot (if its warm enough for you in your part of NZ😀)

Incorporating the practice of Earthing into your daily health plan makes the biggest impact and the easiest way to get 8+ hours of connection is by far, sleeping on an Earthing mat.

Ground-breaking studies reveal that grounding can:

Reduce Chronic Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is often referred to as “silent inflammation” because it can silently damage tissues and weaken the immune system over time. Grounding helps in neutralizing this silent inflammation, protecting your body from unnecessary harm.

Act as a Natural Anti-Inflammatory: Unlike conventional anti-inflammatory drugs that can have significant side effects, grounding is a non-pharmaceutical option that is free, easy to implement, and enhances quality of life by tapping into the Earth's electrons and the Schumann resonances.

Combat Modern Health Challenges: From cardiovascular diseases to diabetes and even complications from Covid-19, grounding has shown promise in various clinical studies. For instance, grounding has been observed to improve heart rate variability (HRV), reduce blood viscosity, and enhance blood flow, thereby reducing the risk of chronic illnesses.

Support in Covid-19 Recovery: Recent research has highlighted grounding’s potential in alleviating symptoms and complications associated with Covid-19. Patients who grounded themselves either by walking barefoot or using conductive patches saw significant improvements in their symptoms.

Improve Mental and Emotional Well-being: Grounding has also been shown to reduce psychological stress and normalize cortisol levels, which can lead to better sleep, reduced anxiety, and an overall sense of calm and balance.

Join the movement towards a healthier, inflammation-free life with our range of premium earthing products. Our Earthing solutions are designed to bring the Earth's natural energy right into your home, and to make it easy to 'ground' each and every day.

Neighbourly hopes to keep you safe by keeping you informed of the latest scams circulating. This week, we are sharing two common text message scams:

NZTA / Waka Kotahi scam:
- The scam is a text message saying it's from New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, and it encourages the recipient to pay an overdue road toll by visiting a fake website, threatening to take the matter to court within 15 days if they don’t pay up.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- While it is not the first time toll payments have been utilised by scammers, the threat of court action could see more people fall victim.
- The sender will either be a unknown phone number or unknown email address.
Want to report one of these scams? Do so, on Netsafe

NZ Post scam:
- This scam arrives by test message and says it's from NZ Post.
- The premise is that delivery of your parcel was unsuccessful so in order to rearrange delivery. you must click on a link to give your correct address.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- NZ Post advises people not to click the link, but to report the message to the Department of Internal Affairs by forwarding it to 7726.
Think you may have fallen prey to a scam? Get in touch with Netsafe or contact your bank if it involved your bank details.

Remember, if you didn't expect the message and you are now asked to share personal details or money, then stop contact and seek advice elsewhere.

Feel free to share any below that you've encountered recently. This may help others across the country be aware.
