Kathy McDonald's Bellambi house is only one street away from Patricia Goddard's Chounding Crescent yard where Louise's skeletal remains were found buried inside a wheelie bin last year.

Ms McDonald (pictured) said she can no longer look over her fence, towards the house or the backyard, where the grisly discovery was made.

"It haunts me, I have nightmares about it," she said.

Ms McDonald still remembers the day she learned of Louise's death and the numbness she felt.

"Someone rang me and said something had happened to (Goddard) as there were police and an ambulance at her house ... I thought she'd had a fall, I was thinking of her," she said.

"I went round there, I saw Goddard walking with the police and they told me to move on.

"I thought I'd be nosy and I stood in the park watching and things started going through my mind, I wondered if maybe it had something to do with Louise.

"When I found out the police had dug a body up out of the backyard, I knew straight away ... I knew it was Louise.

"I just felt numb, I still do ... I haven't wrapped my head around it, I don't think I ever will."

Ms McDonald admitted she was disappointed with Taylor being granted bail yesterday, conceding it was a "difficult" outcome to hear.

After nearly two years walking the judicial process, Ms McDonald is now even more determined to fight for justice for Louise and other victims of crime.

"It will never be over for me ... but I want to do everything I can for her ... whether it's speaking out or talking to the DPP, I will do what I can," she said yesterday.

She admitted she and her 28-year-old son were still struggling with their grief and missed Louise every day.

"(My son) has become very quiet ... it's a matter of how he's going to be able to start explaining his emotions," she said.
