Today (Friday 14 June 2024) our specialist teams will commence a further detailed search for Stuart at a new location.
An area of Worsley Woods - the Roe Green Loopline starting at the junction of Worsley Road with Greenleach Lane.
Officers are on patrol to provide support to those in the local area whilst we try to keep disruption to a minimum, but access will be limited as a result as we conduct small and methodical searches. There will be further searches that will be conducted in the same way over the coming weeks.
Detective Chief Inspector Rachel Smith from our Major Incident Team said: “We are thankful that you understand the immense amount of work that is going into this from the whole force.
“We remain committed, dedicated and focused on our task and this is another example of our ongoing work to do that, by being diligent and respectful towards Stuart and his loved ones who continue to try to process the tragic and upsetting circumstances.
“As we have done from the start, we will keep you updated on our progress, as we all have personally been affected by this case, but in the meantime would like to ask for your further support in this over the weekend by trying to avoid the area where possible.”
