Monica Reid was found dead at the age of 26

The Rose of Tralee contestant who was found dead on Monday after being reported missing was recently engaged and planning to buy a house with her fiancé.

Monica Reid (26) was found dead after being reported missing from her home in Te Atatu since last Friday.

Monica had been crowned Auckland Rose 2024 and was selected to contest in this year’s Rose of Tralee Festival in August.

A search operation took place last weekend, as Ms Reid was last seen in the Matipo Road area of Te Atatu Peninsula.

Earlier this year, Ms Reid’s boyfriend, Shivneel Singh, popped the question.

The pair were planning to buy a house.
