Land near the home town of missing Co Tyrone schoolgirl Arlene Arkinson was searched by police today.
Police said the hunt for the body of the 15-year-old from Castlederg, who disappeared nearly a decade ago, had switched to a laneway close to fields on the Drumquin Road.
Inspector John Gilmore, who is in charge of the investigation, confirmed: "It is one of a number of search areas which have been identified." Two specialist dogs belonging to Strathclyde police are being used.
Arlene has never been traced after vanishing in August 1994 on her way home from a disco in Bundoran, Co Donegal.
A year ago a specialist dog search team from the Metropolitan Police was called in to help in searches of land on the Tyrone-Donegal border.
Mr Robert Howard (59) is in custody awaiting trial for her murder.
