Police have charged a man with Mr Street's murder

Detectives leading a murder investigation are trying to piece together the last movements of man in an effort to find his body.

Blood found at a house on 21 December on Stockbridge Road, Padiham, Burnley, matched the DNA of Alan Lee Street, 26, but as yet no body has been discovered.

Keiran Davison, 20, of Stockbridge Road, has appeared in court accused of Mr Street's murder.

Police know Mr Street went from Burnley to Oswaldtwistle on 19 December.

Mr Davison has been remanded in custody to appear at Preston Crown Court on 18 March.

Det Supt Neil Hunter said knowing more about Mr Street's journey could be key to the inquiry.

"I am appealing to anyone who may know how he got there to contact police.

"Did he use a bus, or perhaps he may have ordered a taxi?

"Even the smallest amount of information could be crucial to this investigation."

Mr Street is described as being of medium build, about 5ft 11ins tall with blue eyes and light, straight brown hair, which was cut short. He had a local accent.

Meanwhile, police are still looking for Peter Leonard, 51, and 43-year-old Alan Palmer in relation to the murder investigation.

The pair have not been seen since Saturday 20 December, nor has Mr Palmer's car which is a blue, five-door Mitsubishi Colt saloon, registration PE58 OJY.

It is believed the two men may be together.
