He said: "Nothing will bring Kate back to us, but we are pleased that justice has been done.
"It is a big relief that the trial has ended with this verdict and this will go some way towards allowing us to move forward.
"We would, however, appeal to Adrian to tell us what happened to Kate and where she is because we would like to lay her to rest and say our goodbyes."
