A cuddly toy and roses have been left at the scene of the murder investigation by her loved ones.

Family described Stephanie as a "much-loved daughter, sister and mother" who was taken from them too soon.

Jason Pascal Flore, 26, appeared at Crawley Magistrates Court on the morning of Tuesday, August 21, charged with her murder.

The case was sent to crown court and Flore appeared at Lewes Crown Court the following day and only spoke to confirm his name.

Temporary detective superintendent Sam Blackburn from the British Transport Police (BTP), who is leading the investigation, said: “Our specialist officers are supporting Stephanie’s family and friends.

"Please can we ask for their privacy to be respected at this difficult time.

“We continue to urge anyone with any information which could aid our investigation to get in touch with us.”
