Our thoughts are very much with them. 'My team has spent more than a year searching for Norma and there is a sense of relief that we have found her remains which will undergo forensic examination in due course. 'Despite this discovery, I would still be very keen to hear from anyone who knew Norma, either in London or at Leigh on Sea who can provide information on anything that was happening in her life in August last year. "I am also appealing for anyone who saw any activity around the Churchyard in Friern Barnet Lane, N20 between August and October last year. 'Norma's family and friends have endured a year of not knowing what had happened to her and our investigation remains ongoing. If you have any information, no matter how small a detail it may seem, please do get in touch.'
