Police will search a rubbish tip as part of their investigation into the suspicious disappearance of a Melbourne mother.
Kelly 'Ju' Zhang, 33, was last seen leaving her Epping home on February 1, wearing a pink nightgown and possibly slippers.
Her boyfriend, Joon Seong Tan, 35, was charged with her murder on February 11, a day after he was arrested at Melbourne Airport.
Police on Tuesday will begin a four-day search of landfill at Wollert Waste Management Centre in an effort to find Ms Zhang's body.
A number of searches were conducted for the mother-of-one earlier this year, including in bushland in Heidelberg West and Alphington.
Missing Persons Squad Detective Inspector Andrew Stamper said police wanted to provide Ms Zhang's China-based family with some answers.
"We're hopeful that the search this week will move us closer to ultimately being able to find Ju and give her family even a small amount of comfort that she's been located," he said in a statement on Tuesday.
"This has been an incredibly difficult few months for them, however, our investigators are as tenacious and committed as ever."
He urged anyone with information about Ms Zhang's appearance to come forward.
Tan is due to face court again on July 16.
