Body believed to be that of missing Derby woman found

Officers searching for a missing Derby woman have found a body believed to be that of the 47-year-old.

Angela Cowan was reported missing from her home on Thursday 29 September.

Since then, officers have carried extensive searches and followed up on several sightings of her in the Chesterfield and Derby areas.

Sadly, officers discovered a body believed to be that of Angela at the side of the A38 near Markeaton on Friday afternoon (18 November).

Our thoughts go out to her family at this sad time.

There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and a file is being prepared for the coroner.

We would like to thank everyone who shared and responded to our appeals to find Angela.
