Genette murder suspect is bailed

Genette's bike and newspapers were found in the road

A 57-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder by police investigating the disappearance of Genette Tate nearly 27 years ago has been bailed.

The 13-year-old vanished while cycling on her newspaper round in Aylesbeare, Devon, in August 1978.

A team of 20 officers is still investigating Genette's disappearance.

The arrested man was in custody at Leeds Police Station and was interviewed by officers from Devon and Cornwall Constabulary.

Genette Tate was last seen by two friends in Within Lane, near her home on the afternoon of 19 August. Her bicycle and papers were found in the road.
