Gardaí will consult with fishermen in Waterford on tidal movements in the river Suir to try to establish where exactly the body of missing Waterford woman Meg Walsh was left.
Ms Walsh's body was found at 3.05pm yesterday by work colleagues searching the Suir near Thomas Meagher Quay in the heart of Waterford city.
Gardaí will examine if it is possible that Ms Walsh's body was put into the tidal estuary near her home at Ballinakill, and then carried upstream for over a mile.
They will also examine the possibility that her body was put into the Suir somewhere upstream of Waterford city and washed down to the city quays where it surfaced yesterday some 14 days after her disappearance.
A team of Garda divers, aided by members of Civil Defence, carried out a search of the river for Ms Walsh's clothing and other potential evidence near where her body was found.
It is understood gardaí are also focusing on how Ms Walsh's silver Carisma car came to be parked at the Uluru car park near the entrance to Waterford Regional Hospital at Ardkeen sometime before 1.05am on October 4th.
They are satisfied the 01 W 2060 registered car was not at the car park at 10am on Monday when Ms Walsh was reported missing, and they believe it may have been used to dispose of her body before being left at the car park.
Last night, Waterford curate Fr Paul Murphy told of the family's grief after learning of their sister and mother's death.
"They had said they wanted her back and wanted her alive - they've only got one of those two wishes so they are naturally very upset and sad.
"But at the same time they are relieved to have her back so they can give her a proper burial," he said.
