Avon & Somerset Police said the deceased was Robyn, who was last seen on Friday 28th November last year in Meadows Lane, Bath.
She had been reported missing on Wednesday 17th December.
Police had previously said officers were growing increasingly concerned for her welfare as enquiries continued into her disappearance.
As part of the earlier appeal, detectives confirmed two of Robyn’s last known sightings in Bath. The first was at about 8pm on Thursday 27th November, when she was seen in Bathwick Street heading towards Beckford Road. Her Mini had earlier been found in Bathwick.
A second sighting was then confirmed at around 1.15am on Friday 28th November, when Robyn was seen on London Road near the Esso garage, walking in the direction of Morrisons.

Police said significant work had taken place since a body was recovered from the River Avon in January in order to establish the person’s identity and inform next of kin.
In their update, the force said Robyn’s family had now been informed.
A spokesperson said: “Her family has been updated, and our thoughts and condolences are with them at this incredibly difficult time.”
Robyn’s death is not being treated as suspicious, and enquiries are continuing on behalf of the coroner.
