A post-mortem examination on the body of teenager Alice Gross is expected to resume today.
The body of the 14-year-old schoolgirl was recovered from the River Brent in west London on Tuesday.
Police say the post-mortem, which is being carried out at Uxbridge Mortuary, is taking some time "due to the complex nature of the investigation".
The case is being treated as a murder inquiry and police say "significant efforts" were taken to hide the remains.
It comes as Alice's parents said they were "completely devastated" by the discovery of their daughter's body.
Rosalind Hodgkiss and Jose Gross said their daughter was "quirky" and "beautiful inside and out".
"It is difficult to comprehend that our sweet and beautiful daughter was the victim of a terrible crime," they said in a statement.
"Why anyone would want to hurt her is something that we are struggling to come to terms with.
"Alice was a loving and much loved daughter and sister, a quirky live spark of a girl, beautiful inside and out.
"She was a funny companion, a loyal friend, both passionate and compassionate, and so talented with a bright future ahead of her.
"This is a time for grieving and not a time for anger or recriminations."
Alice failed to return to her home in Hanwell, west London, on 28 August.
She was last seen on CCTV walking along the towpath of the Grand Union Canal towards Hanwell.
Convicted murderer Arnis Zalkalns, who was filmed cycling along the same route behind Alice, has emerged as the prime suspect in the case.
The Latvian builder was reported missing within days of her disappearance, but police stress he is just "one line of enquiry".
More than 300 police officers have been involved in the search for Alice in the biggest search since the 7/7 bombings.
Brentside High School, where Alice was a pupil, described her as an "outstanding" pupil.
It said: "Alice was an outstanding and talented student who will be sorely missed from our school community.
"This is a very sad day for our school and we are devastated by this tragic loss. We are doing everything we can to support each other and will continue to do so in the days and weeks ahead."
