The family of Laurel Aldridge has confirmed her body was discovered in “beautiful woodland”
Sussex Police said earlier that a woman has been found in the Tortington Lane area of Arundel
Family member Matthew Aldridge said on social media “
After a long and exhausting search, today we found Laurel. We can share that she was found lying in a beautiful woodland and she is now at peace.
We will miss her every day, but we are so proud of everything she achieved in her 62 years on this earth. Laurel was a wonderful, creative, fiercely-intelligent person, who taught us all the meaning of empathy, dependability, and love.
We as a family are broken by what has happened, but we have each other, we have our friends, and we have the support of the local community, who have so kindly rallied around us during this difficult time. We will never forget what you have done for us.
For the time being, we are asking for privacy so that we can be together as a family and process our loss.”
