McShera was found dead in a room at a Perth Crown Towers hotel on the morning of Monday, October 30.
Police have said she was found with head injuries that they believe were caused by a blunt instrument.
A man named Cameron John Pearson, 42, was found in the same hotel room as McShera with "serious, self-inflicted injuries".
Pearson has since appeared in a Perth court charged with McShera's murder.
Security staff checked on the hotel room where McShera was found after receiving a call from a family member.
Inspector Geoff DeSanges told reporters outside court on October 31: "A family member who was seeking to get hold of one of the people in that room had spoken to Crown Towers.
"We're still to identify the full circumstances of the relationship, and what brought about the events of yesterday".
He added: "There appears to have been a passage of time between the woman being injured and police being called to the hotel".
Pearson, according to , shook his head during his court appearance when asked by the magistrate "whether he understood the charge of murder against him".
He is due to next appear in the Stirling Gardens Magistrates Court on November 29.
The night before her body was found, McShera posted a final social media post where she documented her stay at the Crown Towers hotel.
