Taxi driver Ben Lacomba has been found guilty at Woolwich Crown Court of murdering missing mother-of-five Sarah Wellgreen.
The jury retired to consider it's verdict on October 23 and have today come to their conclusion.
The 46-year-old beautician, Sarah Wellgreen, had been living a "happy life with much to look forward to" but disappeared without a trace in October 2018.
Her ex-partner Ben Lacomba, 39, was on trial for allegedly killing Ms Wellgreen and disposing of her body.
Despite extensive searches across vast stretches of land close to her home in Kent, Ms Wellgreen's body has never been found.
During the three-week trial at Woolwich Crown Court, the court heard the couple had met online in 2004 but by the time of her disappearance their relationship was marked by "tensions and problems", prosecutor Alison Morgan QC said.
Ms Morgan said: "She did not leave her home voluntarily, abandoning her children for whatever reason, never to return.
"She was murdered by this defendant, her former partner.
"He then disposed of her body. Only this defendant knows where it is and exactly what he did that night.
