A runner spotted the plastic-shrouded remains among bushes at 7am on Monday at Sir Joseph Banks Park near Sydney Airport in the inner-southern Sydney suburb of Botany.
Detectives have formally identified the remains as belonging to 33-year-old Zhuojun "Sally" Li of Greenacre in western Sydney.

She had been reported missing early in December after her mother was unable to contact her, police said.
Ms Li's 33-year-old husband Jai-Bao "Rex" Chen remains missing and police hold "grave concerns" for his welfare.
Mr Chen is described as being of Asian appearance, about 165cm to 170cm tall, of slim build with black hair and brown eyes.
Police are also seeking the public's help to identify a silver Toyota Avensis and its driver after CCTV captured it stopping on the northern side of Foreshore Road in Botany during the early hours of November 30.

Strike Force Zygon has been established to investigate the gruesome discovery.
Ms Li's death was being treated as "more than likely murder" because of the circumstances surrounding the find and items at the crime scene, Homicide Squad commander Danny Doherty said at the time.
"It appears the body was disposed of off Foreshore Rd in an attempt to hide the body," he said.
Ms Li's body was found in bushland near Botany Bay, between the airport and Port Botany, Sydney's main shipping terminal.
"It's a very tragic situation - a female has lost their life and has been dumped on the side of the road," Det Supt Doherty said.
