Her disappearance on the Channel Island led to a major search involving multiple agencies, including coastguard, fire crews and lifeboat teams.
Det Ch Insp Mark Hafey, who led the investigation for Jersey Police, said: "Remains were located on a beach in Brighton which have now been confirmed as a DNA match with Anne.
"Our thoughts are with her husband, family, and friends."
An police appeal on Facebook from October 20 2024 said: "We are concerned for the welfare for Anne Potter. She was last seen leaving her property at about 12:30pm today.
"She is believed to have headed out west towards Greve De Lecq. She is believed to be wearing a Black Windbreaker Jacket and Blue Jeans."
Three days later the force said: "An extensive search of the north coast spanning from Greve de Lecq west to L'Etacq and east to Sorel Point has been conducted and coordinated by SOJP.
"The drone rescue team and CI Air Search have also been conducting searches along the north coast and will continue to do so.
"Further shoreline searches have been conducted along Jersey's west coast beaches.
"A multi-agency approach has been employed in the search for Anne."

Cheating Maftei and Sosu say they have plans to marry after she was this week spared jail for the scalding at Perth Sheriff Court. Sosu told The Scottish Sun: 'I want to have a baby now. 'I think we will get married. 'For a long time I wanted to have a baby but he lost his battery. 'If she never came here none of this would have happened. 'There was a reason for it. 'We want to start over.' Sosu and farm worker Maftei had been together more than a decade when they welcomed Ms Furnika to their flat in Coupar Angus, Perthshire. The two women became close and would eat together with the host saying she cooked for her guest 'many times'. Jilted husband punched cheating wife's new lover after catching them in bed then 'threatened to burn down marital home' They even ended up working in the same plant on opposite shifts. But within weeks of her arrival, the refugee and Maftei had begun a secret affair. Sosu — who arrived in Scotland nine years ago from Craiova, Romania — discovered the truth months later and cornered her friend in the kitchen of their top-floor flat. She punched Ms Furnika repeatedly on the head before being dragged away by her unfaithful boyfriend who told her to 'relax'. Sosu threw hot coffee in her face in the incident in October 2023. The pair say the victim has since moved out but lives nearby and they often see her in the street but 'do not talk'. 4 The Ukrainian moved in with the couple after fleeing to Scotland to escape war Credit: Facebook / Lyudmila Mykhaylova 4 Sosu revealed she is standing by her boyfriend and wants to have his baby Credit: Alan MacGregor Ewing Maftei, from Constanta, Romania, said: 'I have learned a lesson. 'I think Miaoro and I will get married, one day it will happen.' Sosu was ordered to carry out 225 hours' unpaid work and pay her victim £1,000 in compensation. She said: 'It is the only time I have ever been in trouble. 'It is too much money. 'It is not fair.'
