POLICE searching for missing estate agent Suzy Lamplugh were today narrowing down their search at the Worcester site they believe she could be buried.
Officers and forensic scientists have now roped-off several key points around the site to carry out detailed examination of the soil at Norton, near Kempsey.
Detectives launched the fingertip inspection using dogs trained to identify human remains on Monday, after reassessing old evidence and receiving new information during the summer.
Divers have also continued to search a lake at the former works.
Aerial photographs taken in 1986, have been used to pinpoint areas which have remained unchanged since Miss Lamplugh's disappearance.
The 25-year-old estate agent disappeared in 1986, after leaving the office to meet a "Mr Kipper" at a house in Fulham, West London.
The former brickworks and nearby Norton Barracks have both been rumoured to be where the woman's body is buried.
Det Supt Shaun Sawyer of the Metropolitan Police said he did not want to raise expectations of finding a body, adding it was a possibility, not a probability.
