A 53-year-old man is due to go on trial in October, charged with kidnapping and murdering the 44-year-old last year.
Detective Inspector Nicola Reeves says Bao's family is now processing the discovery of remains, and taking time to come to terms with the information.
She says forensic examination teams have now finished removing the remains, and a post-mortem will be carried out later today.
Reeves says they now have the piece of the puzzle which was missing, and it will help them paint a full picture of what was missing.
