The heartbroken family of slain Emma Faulds have told how they are “haunted” by her killing.
The 39-year-old youth worker’s family said they will wait a long time until they get answers to all the questions that they have been asking since her death.
Emma’s dad Ian, 66, owns David Faulds & Son butchers in Kilmarnock.
The family posted an emotional message on the shop’s Facebook page last Wednesday.
It read: “It’s only today that we feel we can as a family respond to the multitude of cards, hundreds of messages and fields of flowers that we have received during this desperately sad and painful time.
This proves that there is a great caring community spirit in Kilmarnock and further afield, indeed worldwide.
“Thank you all so much for your support and kindness you have shown us during the past few weeks. We’re not there yet and it will be a long time until we get answers to all the questions that have been haunting us but knowing that everyone is with us makes it easier to bare.
“Love to all of you from the Faulds family and of course Emma’s dog Maverick.”
The body of missing Emma was found in the Galloway Forest was found on Wednesday, June 12, six weeks after being last seen in Monkton on Sunday, April 29.
Emma, a former prison officer, lived in Kilmarnock, with her beloved Westie called Maverick.
