Chesser was arrested at the scene and was taken to a mental health facility, where she remains.

Police and State Emergency Service (SES) crews searched the Port Lincoln coastline today for the missing remains.

Port Lincoln mayor Diana Mislov spoke on behalf of Story’s family today, as the search entered its eighth day.

“I know he loved his family deeply,” Mislov said.

“I just want the community and for everyone to understand that he was a human being who didn’t deserve this and was much loved, very much loved.”

Mislov, a resident, mentioned that she saw the 39-year-old’s journey from childhood in their small coastal community and expressed how challenging it was to come to terms with the alleged murder.

“The family is distraught, it’s just beyond belief that this could happen to someone,” she said.

“As a parent, I don’t think anyone should have to go through something as horrendous as this.”

Chesser’s family informed 9News that she had been unwell, and just weeks prior, they had appealed for her to stay in a mental health facility in Port Lincoln, but she had been discharged.

The local mayor conceded there was not enough support in the region.

“We need more mental health support, we need more psychiatrists, we need more one-on-one support,” Mislov said.

“We don’t need short-term measures to stopgap symptoms, we need really long programs that will help people.”
