Travel records show he and his wife left Hong Kong for China but then returned on Tuesday when they were initially both arrested but his partner was later released.
Mevi, originally from Indonesia, was found with severe wounds to her head and police are working on the theory she was pushed off the edge and then drowned.
Local Hong Kong media have speculated Mevi and Chapman were having an affair but she did not work for him.
Chapman and his 36-year-old wife were held on Tuesday at West Kowloon railway station after travelling back from China.
Superintendent Sin Kwok-ming said that the case was being treated as murder because the suspect had done many unreasonable things, including not contacting police.
His wife had been held on suspicion of assisting an offender before being released on bail pending further investigation.
Chapman is believed to be originally from London and he was educated at Loughborough University where he graduated in 2011 before moving to Hong Kong.
Publicly available company records in Hong Kong show he set up Givres in 2015 and Chapman lives with his unidentified wife in Ap Lei Chau, around a mile from the waterfall.
