However, he also called on the community to help if they can.

“Hopefully the rest of this investigation is aided by what may have been found already, but we really still need as much help that we can get.”

Strike Force Karabi has was established shortly after Carly McBride’s disappearance, with detectives treating it as suspicious.  They are now treating her death the same way.

Carly McBride’s father and mother, Lorraine Williams have said it is the best possible outcome they were hoping for and are happy to know they can their daughter can rest in peace.

“It’s everything, the rest is pretty well irrelevant to us.  It’s such an unexpected result and to be able to now put here in her final resting place is something we’d ever get the chance to do,” said Mr McBride.


“It’s overwhelming.”
