The hunt for the body of Bogdan Nawrocki has concluded at the Radford site.
Excavation equipment, forensic experts and police dogs were focusing on land off Alfreton Road on Tuesday and Wednesday (6 and 7 May 2014) but returned no results.
Bogdan, a 22-year-old Polish national, was last seen on Sunday 5 January this year, and despite extensive enquiries and media appeals he has not been seen since.
Detective Chief Inspector Tony Heydon is leading the inquiry. He said: “I am disappointed that this week’s search did not yield any results but we have further lines of enquiry to explore and will undertake physical searches wherever the intelligence leads us.
“We are keeping Bogdan’s family up-to-date with any developments. They wake every day with questions about what happened to their loved one. Help us bring them the answers. Finding Bogdan’s body is vital, we are determined to do all that we can. Could you have information that could help direct our next search?
“While we have one man charged with murder and three others on bail the investigation continues.
“If you have any information contact the incident room on 0115 8446913 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. A dedicated line manned by Polish-speaking officers has also been set up on 07785 573415.”
