Cold case murder detectives have made an arrest in the unsolved mystery surrounding the disappearance of a Scottish man more than two decades ago.

Robert Scott Clive has never been seen following a night out on 11 October, 2002 in North Shields, Northumbria.

For 22 years his family have hoped to find out happen to the 30-year-old whose body has never been recovered.

Last week in a breakthrough officers from Northumbria Police revealed they had arrested a 49-year-old man on suspicion of his murder.

The suspect is now on police bail pending further enquiries.

Originally police believed the labourer known as Scott had fallen in the River Tyne.

It seems to me from the lack of remains, this arrest didn't involve DNA. Perhaps someone finally spoke up about something they'd witnessed?
