Detectives investigating the murder of Julie received information from the defence team who represented her killer, Karl Hutchings, about a potential burial site in the area, and following searches, they found remains.
Julie’s family have been made aware of the discovery.
A post-mortem will take place next week, when identification is also expected to take place.

A scene is likely to remain in place for the next week.
Earlier this week Hutchings, 48, of The Hill in Christchurch pleaded guilty to Julie’s murder. He is next due in court for sentencing on October 24.
Detective Chief Insp Richard Stott said: “Julie’s family have been made aware of this significant update and are being supported by specially trained officers.”
Concerns were raised for the whereabouts of 55-year-old Julie in early February, and investigations revealed she had not been seen since January 28.
