A specialist forensic search for human remains in remote woodland in Cornwall has now entered its fourth month.
Such is the scale of the operation, an expert group of officers from the National Crime Agency have been working alongside Home Office approved scientists.
The significant search, which began at the start of July, is being led by Devon and Cornwall Police and relates to an ongoing murder investigation.
Other police forces, including West Mercia and the City of London, have also been drafted in to help.
The search is taking place in Paramoor Woods, on the outskirts of the village of Sticker near St Austell.
Four large tents have been set up by police as a base, with a temporary road and bridge built to access the search area.
At the start of October, Sky News witnessed forensic officers entering the woodland with tripods to take pictures. Privacy screens and flood lights are placed around the woodland.
Officers were also seen digging and sifting through soil deep in the woodland, using specialist equipment.
A man has been charged with murder in relation to the investigation, he is next due in court in November.
