Police put the call out last week for information about a Mazda they believed could be linked to the alleged murder of Jake Anderson-Brettner, who disappeared from Riverside on Wednesday, August 15.
During a search of the Mazda on Monday, Victorian police found a “significant number of pills”, believed to be ecstasy.
The home of a 57-year-old Victorian woman was also searched and she is now assisting police with their inquiries.
Local detectives continue to investigate Mr Anderson-Brettner’s alleged murder, after a torso was found on the side of the Tasman Highway last Sunday.
