As put by: Detective Sergeant Luke Vaughan, Canterbury CIB.
Police searching for missing woman Elisabeth 'Lis' Nicholls in central Christchurch have today found a body.
While formal identification is yet to take place, it is believed to be the body of the 79-year-old, reported missing from Riccarton on 4 June.
Canterbury Police, along with Land Search and Rescue volunteers, have been scouring areas in the city working to locate Lis, and we hope today's discovery will help provide some closure for her family and loved ones.
Our thoughts are with them at this incredibly difficult time, and we thank the public and everyone who helped in the search for their efforts.
The death will be referred to the Coroner.
