Summary
Human remains found on 12 August near Padstow Walk in Feltham after a wildfire have been identified as Joanne Sheen, a 44-year-old mother of three missing since December 2019.
A 56-year-old Southampton man has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and remains in custody as detectives investigate how Sheen died.
Sheen was last seen on 5 December 2019 after traveling from Fareham to Southampton with a friend, giving the case a nearly seven-year gap between her disappearance and identification.
Metropolitan Police have now handed the case to Hampshire Police, shifting the investigation back to the force covering the area where Sheen was last known to have traveled.
