''Officers from the South West major crime investigation team have now received information they say could unlock the case.''

''The investigator noted that the area where her remains were found was overlooked by the Severn Way.
Ms Clark was also found on the weekend of the 200th anniversary celebrations of the British Waterways, so it would have been 'very busy, with foreign-registered vessels in the dock,' he added.

'Maybe you were there at the time but travelled back home without hearing about the case until now. Whatever the reason, if you were there and now recall something please report it.''
''Anyone with information is asked to contact the force on 101 or online, quoting incident 264 of March 27.''

Actually he was arrested earlier this month and released on bail.

So that's two men arrested in the past year, but not enough to charge either of them.
