**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.
