A huge search operation was launched in an attempt to find her. CCTV footage showed her walking in the direction of James Street before she went missing.

On Sunday, suspected human remains were found. These have not been formally identified.

At that stage, a murder investigation was launched.

Last week, the Ballymena community worked alongside the Community Rescue Service (CRS) searching along the banks of the Braid River as well as in the water.

Surrounding parklands and the Ecos centre were also searched.
