Miss Godden-Edwards was reported to the Missing People Helpline in 2007 by her family The mother of a woman whose remains were found in a Gloucestershire field has spoken of how her daughter's death had devastated her family.Karen Edwards said Becky Godden-Edwards' drug addiction had turned her in to a "very different person".
Her parents told a news conference that police had given the family the news on what would have been her 29th birthday.
Her remains were found in a field in Eastleach by police investigating the murder of 22-year-old Sian O'Callaghan.
Mrs Edwards added: "Life was hard before when she was living the life of an addict but we really did think she was alive and that one day she would come back home.
"Becky has now been found and the news of her horrific death has devastated all her family.
"My daughter has been murdered and to be given the news on what would have been her 29th birthday, we can't believe it."
Miss Godden-Edwards' family did not initially report her missing to the police as they thought she was living in the Bristol area.
Miss Godden-Edwards left the family home in Swindon in 2001 but it was not until 2007 that her family contacted the National Missing Persons Helpline.
Taxi driver Christopher Halliwell, 47, of Ashbury Avenue, Swindon, has been charged with the murder of Miss O'Callaghan and is due to appear before Bristol Crown Court on 14 July.
