POLICE have today confirmed a body has been found in the search for missing West Wales woman, Susan Smith.

The search has been ongoing since Mrs Smith was reported missing more than two weeks ago.

The 63-year-old was last seen around lunchtime on 27 February, walking in the Carmarthen Bay Holiday Village in Kidwelly.

Officers from Dyfed Powys Police have said that a body has been found in Solva near Fishguard in North Pembrokeshire.

A Dyfed-Powys Police spokesman said: “We can confirm that officers working on the search for missing woman Susan Smith have recovered a body from a beach near Solva in Pembrokeshire.

“Mrs Smith’s family has been made aware of the situation; however, formal identification is yet to take place.

“At this time there is no reason to suggest any suspicious circumstances.”

The search for Mrs Smith had focused on Kidwelly, St Ishmaels, Ferryside and the surrounding areas.

The search has been supported by specialist teams including mountain rescue, coastguard, police helicopter, fire and rescue, and specialist dogs.
