Her disappearance on the Channel Island led to a major search involving multiple agencies, including coastguard, fire crews and lifeboat teams.
Det Ch Insp Mark Hafey, who led the investigation for Jersey Police, said: “Remains were located on a beach in Brighton which have now been confirmed as a DNA match with Anne.
“Our thoughts are with her husband, family, and friends.”
An police appeal on Facebook from October 20 2024 said: “We are concerned for the welfare for Anne Potter. She was last seen leaving her property at about 12:30pm today.
“She is believed to have headed out west towards Greve De Lecq. She is believed to be wearing a Black Windbreaker Jacket and Blue Jeans.”
Three days later the force said: “An extensive search of the north coast spanning from Greve de Lecq west to L’Etacq and east to Sorel Point has been conducted and coordinated by SOJP.
“The drone rescue team and CI Air Search have also been conducting searches along the north coast and will continue to do so.
“Further shoreline searches have been conducted along Jersey’s west coast beaches.
“A multi-agency approach has been employed in the search for Anne.”
