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?

He was reported as missing by his family but his body has never been found.

Upon receiving new information, we have arrested two men – aged in their 40s and 50s – and a woman – aged in her 40s – on suspicion of murder. They remain in custody at this time.

We are continuing our searches at an address on Coronation Street in North Shields as part of our investigations.
