THE family of tragic Sinead Healey have placed flowers at the lay-by where her skeletal remains were found.

A wooden cross with an engraved brass plaque reading 'Sinead Healey, Died Oct 2000, Aged 26 years' was left along with ten bouquets of flowers, some with dedications on them.

A poignant message from Sinead's parents reads simply: 'Our love always, Mummy and Daddy.'

A bouquet from Sinead's brother and sister says: 'To Dear Sinead, We will miss you so very very much. We will be together one day. Love Anthony and Patricia.'

Sinead, listed as a missing person, was left in a lay-by off the Pyebush roundabout, Beaconsfield.

Her body was covered by soil until a passer-by spotted a ribcage sticking out of the earth on March 22.

Police say she was last seen by a friend in Fulham Palace Road, near Charing Cross Hospital on October 18.

Police have recovered further bones after a search of a field behind the lay-by, on the A40 near Beaconsfield, and have now nearly pieced together the entire skeleton of Sinead, who lived in West Kensington, London.

A police pathologist is evaluating whether the new material that has been recovered will reveal any more information on the cause of death.

The inquest into the 26-year-old's death was opened in High Wycombe by Richard Hulett, coroner for Buckinghamshire, last Thursday.

Mr Hulett immediately adjourned the hearing saying: "What I am doing is opening an inquest into the death and then immediately adjourning it, pending the police inquiry."

Three men have been questioned and released without charge in connection with Sinead's disappearance. One man has been arrested but not charged and bailed to appear at a police station at a later date.

Anyone with information on activity in or near the lay-by on October 19 to 20 should call police on 01628 645678 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
