Tributes have been paid to a "beautiful, fun loving" woman who was tragically found dead after disappearing from her home. Thea Olivia Newton was last seen at her address in Warrington at roughly 1.30am on June 16.
A few hours later, the 29-year-old's car was found abandoned near Sunflower Drive, the Liverpool Echo reports. Family and friends shared concerns for her welfare and a huge search effort was launched by Cheshire police, who used a drone to assist their hunt.
Later that day, officers confirmed they had found a body which was believed to be Thea. There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding her death.
