A Sydney police officer has told a court the positioning of Caroline Byrne's body at the bottom of the Gap was inconsistent with other bodies he had recovered from the notorious cliffs.
Retired sergeant Mark Powderley has re-lived the morning of June 7, 1995 when he ventured down the cliff face at the Gap to inspect the body of model Caroline Byrne.
It was initially thought Ms Byrne had jumped to her death, but her boyfriend Gordon Wood is now on trial accused of throwing her off the cliff face.
Mr Powderley has told the court he found Ms Byrne's body face down and wedged into the rocks with her feet up in the air in a spear like position.
Mr Powderley says he has never seen a body positioned in such a way or so far out from the cliff face before.
"I have never had one which was wedged in a crevasse like that," he told the NSW Supreme Court today.
"It was just like a spear."
Gordon Wood, 45, has pleaded not guilty to murdering his girlfriend Ms Byrne, 24, by throwing her over The Gap in June 1995.
