On Thursday two people were charged in relation to the violent death of Ms Easey, 29, who was found in Cockle Creek in Killingworth, west of Newcastle, on August 31.

Police said a post-mortem examination revealed the mother of two had been seriously assaulted and stabbed.

Justin Kent Dilosa, 33, is accused of Ms Easey's murder. He did not apply for bail in Belmont Local Court and was therefore not required to appear.

The matter was briefly mentioned and adjourned to Gosford Local Court for November.

Ms Easey's father Colin told reporters outside court he was disappointed not to see Mr Dilosa appear via video link, as was earlier expected.

"I wanted to see him," Mr Easey said.

"I wanted to look him in the eyes, even if it was through a video camera, but I'll be here all the way through.

Police allege Mr Dilosa murdered Ms Easey at a house in Narara on August 17, before her body was moved in the boot of a car and dumped in the creek.

They also allege Carol Marie McHenry, 32, impersonated Ms Easey on her social media account after her death to gain access to money.

Ms McHenry has been charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder and dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception.

Police say Mr Dilosa and Ms McHenry knew the victim for some time before she died.

Appearing in court via video link today, Ms McHenry held her heads in her hands and sobbed as the prosecutor made a case to have her bail denied, citing a high chance of a custodial sentence and concerns she may contact other witnesses.

The court heard Ms McHenry had problems with alcohol and the drug ice and that she was also a carer for her four children.

Her lawyer told the court the matter was unlikely to be resolved soon, meaning she would be separated from her children until her next appearance.

The court heard Ms McHenry's father was willing to pay a surety if she was released.

Magistrate Michael Morahan denied bail, telling the court Ms McHenry's tears "were well founded" given the extremely serious nature of the alleged offences.

Still crying, Ms McHenry thanked the magistrate, before the video link ended.

Her case was adjourned until October 30.

Ms Easey's family and friends told reporters outside court they planned to attend every hearing.

Mr Easey said he missed his daughter deeply and called her murder "senseless".

"I mean … what did she do so bad to receive what she did," he said.

"She was a beautiful mother, she was a beautiful person, she was just alive."

"I can't believe she's gone."
