Your smiles brightened dark days, your laughter brought comfort and your presence made life more meaningful.”“Though your time on Earth was short, the impact you made will remain in our hearts for ever.”Police said hundreds of hours of CCTV footage have been reviewed while officers continue tracing the women’s final movements around the beach area.Chief Superintendent Adam Hays said officers would “leave no stone unturned” during the investigation.“The thoughts of everyone at Sussex Police are with the family of Jane, Christina and Rebecca following this devastating loss,” Hays said.
