Boot body case: Woman caught up in double life

The woman who police believe they found dead in the boot of a car in New South Wales was caught up with a man leading a double life, according to reports.

Daniela D'Addario, 35, and Canberra man Josaia Vosikata, 27, were reported missing on Monday. Yesterday police arrested a 27-year-old man who is believed to have ran from the car when he was pulled over near Bermagui.

He is expected to face the Batemans Bay Magistrates Court today.

Close friend Chris Reid told Fairfax Media that Ms D'Addario had been dating Mr Vosikata on and off the past few months before she found out he had a wife and children in Fiji.

"Daniela found out he had a wife and kids back in Fiji ... probably a month ago. When Daniela found out, at this stage, this bloke was living in Daniela's unit, not paying any rent and sending money back to his wife and kids in Fiji.”

"She obviously flipped and broke up with him. For whatever reason, they got back together," Mr Reid explained.

Mr Reid said Daniela was "a beautiful girl".

"She was very caring and very intelligent and always wanting to help," he said.
