The remains were found by police looking for Dinah McNicol, who was 18 when she failed to return to her home in Essex after a trip to Hampshire. | |
Officers found personal effects at the Margate house which did not tally with information about Miss McNicol. | |
Police forces are being asked to provide any information about Peter Tobin, a former owner of the property. | |
