A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a body was found in the search for a missing woman.
Abi Fisher, 29, vanished from Castleford in Yorkshire shortly before midnight on Friday.
A body was found in undergrowth in Brierley, South Yorkshire, yesterday.
Formal identification has not yet taken place, but cops say they believe it to be Abi.
Detectives have arrested a man, who remains in custody today.
Her family has been updated and are being supported by specially-trained officers.
They had contacted police with their fears – and warned it was "completely out of character" for Abi to disappear.
Anyone who has driven on the B6273 Southmoor Road between Hemsworth and Great Houghton from 8.15am and 9.15am on Saturday has been urged to get in touch with officers.
Detective Chief Superintendent Mark Swift, of West Yorkshire Police’s Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said many locals have joined searches for Abi.
The force's social media appeal for information was shared more than 2,000 times.
“On behalf of the police and Abi’s family, I would like to express our thanks to everyone who has assisted in the search," he said.
"We know that there has been a real community effort to find her and that this update will be upsetting for many.
“The body has not yet been formally identified and we will update in due course when this has been confirmed.
“We are carrying out extensive enquiries and as part of that are appealing to the public to help us by providing any information that could help our investigation.
"We are particularly keen to hear from anyone with dashcam footage from Southmoor Road on Saturday morning and have set up a specific portal for footage to be submitted to.”
To speak with officers, call 101.
Dashcam footage can be submitted via the Major Incident Public Portal.
