Queensland mum Tayla Spies has been remembered by her family as their ‘beautiful girl’ after her sister confirmed her death.
Queensland police have confirmed the human remains are that of the missing mum.
“It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the devastating loss of our beautiful Tayla,” read a Facebook post from Tayla’s sister Rebecca Spies.
“Although she may no longer be here with us, she will always be in our hearts and I will carry her with me wherever I go.”
She thanked the Australian public for the support the Spies family have received in the 63 days sinceTayla disappeared.
“We truly will be forever grateful to our family and friends for surrounding us, supporting us, picking us up when we fell down and for never letting us walk one step of this alone,” she wrote.
“Tayla was and always will be so incredibly loved, more than she would ever know. Please bear with us as we grieve and navigate through this excruciating loss as a family.
“Again, from the bottom of our heart, thank you all. Fly high and rest easy now our beautiful girl.”
Tayla failed to return to her home in Roma after a weekend away in Dalby in February.
She was last seen on CCTV at a service station in Condamine.
Her 2017 Toyota HiLux was later discovered on a property off Yuleba-Surat Road in Noorindoo, about 40 kilometres north-east of Surat.
The car was found locked and with some of Tayla’s belongings inside, including a pink shirt she was wearing in the CCTV footage.
Detective Chief Inspector Garry Watts said the human remains were found about one kilometre from Tayla’s ute.
