The 25-year-old vanished after going to show a property to a man called "Mr Kipper" in Fulham, south west London, in 1986.

Miss Lamplugh's body has never been recovered.

The Suzy Lamplugh case

28 July, 1986 Suzy Lamplugh reported missing

December 1986 Suzy Lamplugh Trust established

July 1998 Police investigating new lead

May to July 2000 New witness accounts

Police are questioning Mr Cannan at a police station in London.

The police inquiry failed to find her body and eventually the family accepted she had been murdered.

In May this year the investigation was reopened and an appeal was made on the BBC's Crimewatch UK programme.

The publicity encouraged new witnesses to come forward.

Now detectives have prepared a file on the case in co-operation with the Crown Prosecution Service.

Suzy's parents are being kept informed

Her family are aware of the developments.

In May police appealed for more information about a dark, left-hand drive BMW car that a jogger saw in Fulham at the time of Suzy's disappearance.

The witness said he saw a blonde young lady in the car who looked like she was screaming for help.

The jogger's testimony was initially discounted by police because it did not fit into their timescale of events.

He also said the woman had blonde hair, but pictures distributed of Miss Lamplugh had brown hair.

However Miss Lamplugh had had her hair highlighted a week before she was abducted.
