Her family has since identified a badly burnt body found on a farm in New Hanover in the Midlands as hers.
Despite the family identifying her, police are still waiting for the results of DNA testing before confirming the identity of the body.
Officers released an identikit of a man they believe could help the investigation earlier this week.
SAPS spokesperson, Thulani Zwane is urging the public to help identify him.
"He allegedly left with the victim [Lee] while she was in the Durban North area. That person can assist police in solving this case. We are still in touch with the family so we can give them feedback on our investigation," he said.
Police say the inquest docket opened after the body was found on the New Hanover farm has now been changed to one of murder.
They're also conducting tests to determine whether the victim may have been raped.
