A BODY has been found in the search for a missing mum who vanished at a church last month as a man has been charged with murder.
Reanne Coulson, 34, was last seen in Coventry in May and concerns were raised by her family after she failed to make contact with them on her birthday on June 17.

Officers searching for Reanne found a body in Binley Woods on Friday afternoon, West Midlands Police said.
Formal identification will need to take place, but the family of Reanne have been informed, the force added.
Mohammed Durnion was arrested as part of the investigation into her disappearance, police said.
The 42-year-old has now been charged with murder and will appear at Coventry Magistrates’ Court on Saturday.
A second man has also been charged with assisting an offender.
Adam Moore, 38, from Coventry, will appear before the same court on Saturday.
Detective Superintendent Jim Munro, from the force’s Major Crime unit, said: “We’ve been focused on doing all we can to find Reanne and our thoughts remain with her family at this deeply distressing time.
“While formal identification still needs to take place, we do believe it is Reanne.
“We’ve charged a man with murder, and another for assisting an offender, but our inquiries to establish exactly what happened and why are ongoing.
“We’ll continue to update and support Reanne’s family.”
Ms Coulson’s older brother Ashley would like to thank the public for everything they have done to help find her, police said.
He has asked that the family are left alone to grieve.
Specialist search teams, including police dogs, had been searching Binley Woods and other areas of land in neighbouring Warwickshire since Wednesday.
West Midlands Police said more than 100 officers are working to find Reanne and have viewed hundreds of hours of CCTV footage.
They’ve taken over 50 statements from potential witnesses as part of the investigation.
