The daughter of Roxlyn Bowie, Brenda Boyd, has issued a statement on behalf of the family:
“Today’s news is a very bittersweet moment for our family.
“There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about Mum and how kind, caring and loving she was.
“There are many things I miss about her, including her shy and sweet smile. She was a devoted mother – my brother and I never doubted how loved we were. She, too, was so loved by those who were lucky to meet her.
“I’m so thankful that police never forgot about Mum and never gave up trying to find out why she was so cruelly taken away from us.
“As we are still coming to terms with this news, our family requests privacy at this time.”
