A body believed to be that of missing Herolds Bay mom Heidi Scheepers has been recovered from the ocean by police divers. 

Police spokesperson Capt Malcolm Pojie said the body was handed over to forensic pathology services to conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

"At this moment in time we believe it is the body of Heidi Scheepers."

However a formal identification would be conducted, Pojie said.

Meanwhile, police divers, together with air support, are continuing the search for Heidi's daughter, Cuzette, 6. The body of  her two-year-old son, Hugo, who was with them at the time of their disappearance last Tuesday, was found floating in a gorge in Voëlklip on Thursday.
