The body of Waimamaku woman Gaelene Bright has been found in the Waipoua Forest.
The 69-year-old was last seen leaving a friend's house in the small Hokianga settlement on May 1.
Formal identification is still underway -- and a scene examination in the forest and at the victim's home is expected to take some time.
A 65-year-old man was arrested yesterday afternoon, and charged with her murder.
