Police sources have said that they are currently awaiting DNA test results to definitively confirm that it is the Brit in question.
A statement from Chirivel Town Hall said: “We profoundly regret to have to inform you that a body has been found by the A-92 motorway thought be that of our neighbour Geraldine, pending official confirmation from the authorities.”
Drones were used in an attempt to find the missing woman.
Chirivel mayor, Jose Torregrosa Mota, said in an appeal shortly after she disappeared into thin air: “She suffered from senile dementia and the night she went missing she’d apparently had a small argument with her husband and left home.”
