Police dig for missing girl
The search of a garden for the body of a girl missing for 30 years is expected to take at least five days.
Police started searching in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, on Friday for the remains of Gillian Carr who disappeared in the mid-1970s.
Her father, Arthur George Carr, was charged with her murder last week and appeared for the first time at Worcester Crown Court on Friday.
West Mercia Police is searching at an address in Purland, Ross-on-Wye, where the Carr family lived before Gillian's disappearance.
Major investigation
The work is being carried out under the guidance of an archaeologist from Birmingham University.
A police spokesman said: "As part of inquiries to trace Gillian, police are carrying out a detailed search of the garden at 1, Purland.
"Gillian is believed to have lived with her family at this address in the early 1970s."
Mr Carr, 60, of Nursery Road, Ross-on-Wye, is also charged with offences of rape and assault.
The prosecution alleges that Gillian Carr was murdered between February 1973 and December 1975. Mr Carr was remanded in custody until 18 October, during a hearing at Worcester Crown Court.
