Sarah Everard's family have paid tribute to her, saying she "brought so much joy to our lives".
The 33-year-old was last seen on 3 March in Clapham, south London, on her way home from a friend's house.
After extensive searches, Met Police Commissioner Cressida Dick confirmed "human remains" were found in woodland near Ashford, Kent, on Wednesday.
A serving Met officer in his 40s who was arrested on suspicion of Ms Everard's murder remains in custody.
The man, who works with the force's Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command, was earlier taken to hospital suffering from head injuries.
A woman in her 30s, who was arrested in Kent at the same time on suspicion of assisting an offender, has been released on bail until mid-April, the Met said.
In a statement, Ms Everard's family appealed for more information to "help solve this terrible crime".
"Sarah was bright and beautiful - a wonderful daughter and sister. She was kind and thoughtful, caring and dependable. She always put others first and had the most amazing sense of humour," they said.
"She was strong and principled and a shining example to us all. We are very proud of her and she brought so much joy to our lives."
Earlier, the officer suspected of kidnapping and murdering Ms Everard was taken to hospital for a head injury sustained while in custody.
The Met said the suspect was treated, discharged and returned to the police station where he is being held after an application to extend his detention was granted at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court.
Ms Everard, a marketing executive, was last seen in doorbell video footage walking alone down a main road at 21:30 GMT, with police saying it was unclear if she reached her home in Brixton.
The former Durham University student, who is originally from York, had been wearing a green rain jacket, navy blue trousers with a white diamond pattern, and turquoise and orange trainers.
Her family thanked friends and the public for supporting them.
"We are so grateful to the police and would like to thank them for all they are doing," they added.
"We are now pleading for additional help from the public."
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he was "shocked and deeply saddened" by her death, adding: "We must work fast to find all the answers to this horrifying crime."
Ms Everard's death has prompted an outpouring of shock and anger as women across the country shared their own experiences of feeling unsafe.
Earlier, Labour MP Jess Phillips read out the names of almost 120 women killed in the UK where a man has been convicted or charged as the primary perpetrator.
