A woman who was found dead in Walthamstow has been pictured for the first time alongside her daughter who is charged with her murder.
Emergency services were called to Blackhorse Road in Walthamstow on December 11, following reports that a woman was unresponsive.
Lorna Nightingale, 70, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Her daughter Emma Nightingale, 36, is charged with her murder.
According to court documents Emma is alleged to have murdered Lorna at a time between November 1 and December 11.
Emma was remanded into custody before appearing at Thames Magistrates' Court on December 13.
She is due to appear in court again at the Old Bailey in London on January 9.
Lorna was previously reported missing after last being seen in Lowestoft, Suffolk, in February, while her daughter was last seen in Colchester, Essex, in June.
The disappearances, which took place four months and 65 miles apart, triggered the launch of an extensive search effort by police in Suffolk on August 24.
Though the pair were found "safe and well" on September 30.
During their search for the Nightingales, which spanned more than a month, police received support from the County Policing Command, Missing Person Advisors, Technical Support Unit, Surveillance Unit and Intelligence Unit.
Several partner agencies and charities also assisted, including the British Transport Police.
When the search was first launched, police believed the family members may have been together in Essex, an area to which they are both said to be connected.
"Particular concerns" were raised for the women's welfare at the time.
