Police searching for a Hampshire woman missing for more than three weeks have found her body - in her own house.
Several land and air searches for Jean O'Sullivan, costing thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money, had proven unsuccessful.
Police twice appealed for help from the public to discover the 58-year-old's whereabouts.
Just last Sunday a team of experts and helpers spent the day combing gardens and sheds near her home.
Last night they revealed that specialist search officers examining her Eastleigh house had found a woman's body in a downstairs room.
A neighbour said police had regularly visited Mrs O'Sullivan's run-down home several times during their investigation.
"The police and their search and rescue teams have been in and out of there ever since she went missing," they said.
"They've been round a few times asking us if we knew anything or had seen anything, so it doesn't make sense - how come it's taken them so long to find her?"
