The details: The body of a woman was discovered this afternoon, Monday, 24 November, in woodland close to Stratton Hall, near Levington.
The death is being treated as unexplained, but there are not currently believed to be any suspicious circumstances.
The discovery comes almost two weeks after Christine, 78, disappeared from her home, prompting an extensive search operation involving police, coastguard, search and rescue teams and specialist dogs across Suffolk.
For context: Christine is believed to have left her house in the morning of Wednesday, 12 November, and was reported as missing that evening. She was last captured on CCTV walking along a footpath on the edge of Nacton village, in the direction of Decoy Wood, shortly after 14:45 on the afternoon she went missing.
Her blue Toyota Yaris was located at a retail park in Pinewood on Thursday, 20 November, after being parked there for a number of weeks. Police had been investigating whether she may have been retracing her steps to locate the vehicle.
The bottom line: Formal identification procedures have not yet taken place, but Christine's family have been informed of the discovery and a file will be prepared for the coroner.
