A car and its occupants have been linked to the killing of Queensland mother Rene Latimore, whose body was found on a rural property near Mackay in August.

The 31-year-old was reported missing from Koumala, south of Mackay, on August 18 and her body was found 11 days later.

Detectives have released few details about the case but they suspected she was murdered, with homicide detectives trying to track down a car linked to her death.

Last Thursday, they released grainy night-time images of a car travelling on Schirmer Rd, Koumala, on the evening of August 9.

Investigators have now published much clearer day-time photos of a four-wheel drive being driven down nearby Turners Paddock Rd on the morning of August 10.

Police believe the photographs are of the same vehicle and it is linked to Ms Latimore's death.

"Detectives investigating the suspected homicide of Rene Latimore at Koumala in August are seeking further public assistance identify a vehicle of interest and its occupants," they said in a statement on Monday.

Police have also appealed for anyone who had any form of contact with Ms Latimore in the weeks and months before her death to come forward.

Detective Inspector Tom Armitt said last month that the property where her body was found belonged to Ms Latimore's family for "quite some time".

But he said it was recently sold and the family was yet to vacate the site.

The property is more than 240 hectares and consists of grazing land, dense bush and rainforest.
