Detective Inspector Anthea Ponting said: “We would still like to hear from anyone who has visited the Claerwen Reservoir, or the surrounding area, since the beginning of July, and haven’t spoken to police yet about any unattended personal property such as bags, clothes, shoes, or anything else that stood out.

“We’d like to hear from you whether you saw something that caught your attention and left it there, or you removed it from the area.”
