Man rearrested after missing mum's remains found

Police have logged more than 4,000 lines of inquiry as detectives treat her death as murder and search for what happened to the missing mother-of-three.

  • Human remains found in Feltham have been identified as Joanne Sheen, a missing mother-of-three, prompting police to rearrest a 56-year-old Southampton man on suspicion of murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
  • Sheen vanished in December 2019 after traveling from Fareham to Southampton with a friend; her remains were uncovered last month in shrubland near Bedfont Pits after a wildfire exposed the site at Padstow Walk in London.
  • The investigation generated more than 4,000 lines of inquiry and more than 300 statements, with detailed searches at more than 10 addresses. A second 56-year-old Southampton man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and released on bail.
  • Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary now leads the murder probe after Metropolitan Police handed the case over. A spokesperson said, 'Her death is being treated as murder, and we remain committed to identifying and bringing those responsible to justice.'
  • Sheen was reported missing in February 2020, but the case remained unsolved for almost seven years despite arrests in 2020 that resulted in no charges; her identification now represents a significant development in the investigation.
