The 48 year old make up artist known for her work over the last 20 years in television dramas and comedy for the BBC and who also won an award for her work, has been missing since the 24th of January this year. Her husband, David Chenery-Wickens, 51, had already been arrested in connection with her disappearance but was quickly released by police. This week, a body of a woman matching the description of Mrs Chenery-Wickens has been found in near by woodland in East Sussex, close to where the couple shared a house together.

Mr Chenery-Wickens had had his bail extended to the 30th of May and since the discovery of the body, which was found by a female dog walker yesterday morning, he has been brought back in by police for questioning. The body is yet to be officially identified, but so far, matches the description of the missing woman.

A spokesperson for the police told BBC news,

"While the potential link with the Diane Chenery-Wickens case is one obvious line of inquiry, we need to keep an open mind until formal identification and investigations at the scene have been conducted."

The last movements of Mrs Chenery-Wickens has led police to believe that she had been expected to catch a train to London on the day that her husband reported her missing. She was to attend a meeting at the BBC and he was travelling with her, even when the police carefully studied CCTV footage of the train station at East Grinstead and of others where they might have got the train, but no sightings of the couple have been found, meaning they could not have caught the train.

Police have also carried out an extensive search of the family home and the surrounding areas.
