Officers from the North Wales Police Search Teams and the Regional Underwater Search Team deployed in Sealand, Flintshire in the ongoing search for missing Mold vet Catherine Gowing have discovered human remains.
Senior Investigating Officer DCI Mark Pierce said: “Following information received by members of the public, recent searches have focused on fields in Manor Road, Sealand. Yesterday search team officers discovered human remains in a shallow pool within the field known locally as the “Lum”.
“At this time those remains have yet to be formally identified as this will require medical as well as forensic examination. A post mortem is planned for later today (Thursday 1st November).
"At this time we are not able to comment further however Catherine Gowing’s family have been informed of this distressing development and clearly our thoughts are with them at this very difficult time. I would ask that they be allowed privacy to come to terms with this news.”
Catherine Gowing has not been seen since approximately 8.40pm on Friday 12th October 2012 when she was sighted on CCTV leaving Asda Supermarket in Queensferry. Since that time 46 year old Clive Sharp has been charged with her murder.
Anyone one with information about sightings or any suspicious activity in the Sealand area is asked to call North Wales Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
