Natalia Doherty, 50, was last seen in Eastbourne, East Sussex, on 15 April 2003.
Officers discovered parts of a skeleton when they searched the garden of a house in Icknield Way in Luton, Bedfordshire.
Dental records have now confirmed they are those of Ms Doherty.
Two men, aged 66 and 39 and both from Luton, were arrested on suspicion of murder on Wednesday. They have been bailed until 27 January.
The 66-year-old was previously held on suspicion of assisting an offender and preventing a lawful burial.
A Bedfordshire Police spokesman said: "Natalia's family are being kept up to date with developments and are receiving the support of police family liaison officers.
"Investigations continue at the property."
Ms Doherty had been living in Eastbourne at the time of her disappearance but was known to have travelled to stay with her ex-husband, Gerald Doherty, in the Regents Arms pub in Luton.
