A body has been recovered by search teams involved in the hunt for missing Irish vet Catherine Gowing.
Ms Gowing, 37, was last seen on the evening of 12 October at a supermarket near her home in New Brighton, Flintshire, north Wales.
A 46-year old man from Gynnedd, north Wales, has since been charged with her murder.
A spokesman for North Wales Police 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.
"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."
