Police have been holding dramatic CCTV evidence that they believe shows Miss Yeatess killer taking her body to be disposed of just hours after she was murdered.
The evidence captures what detectives believe to be the murderer driving over Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol the morning after killing landscape architect Miss Yeates, on his way to dumping her body three miles away in a lane in nearby Failand.
The images were caught by cameras on the bridge on December 18, the day after Miss Yeates, 25, vanished. It is understood that Avon and Somerset Police have had the footage for three weeks.
Detectives interviewed the owner of the car earlier this month but eliminated him at that stage.
A source close to the investigation told The Mail on Sunday: The investigation changed dramatically three weeks ago after this new CCTV footage came to light.
The discovery of this car driving over the bridge shifted the cases dynamics. From then on officers were convinced they had found the killer and they believed that Miss Yeates was the victim of a stalker.
Before this breakthrough the investigation was close to hitting a brick wall. They had interviewed Miss Yeatess landlord but nothing materialised from it and there was no concrete evidence linking him in any way to the murder.
It appears he had brought himself under suspicion by making a series of comments which now appear to be irrelevant and innocuous. There was no case against him.
