British police searching for a missing teenager long suspected of being a victim of serial killer Fred West have not found any human remains while excavating a café in Gloucester, England.
Gloucestershire Police began excavation work earlier this month after receiving information from a production company making a documentary that human remains could be buried in the cellar of the Clean Plate café in Southgate Street.
Mary Bastholm, 15, who was last seen alive in January 1968, worked as a waitress at the Pop-In café, which was located on the same site as the Clean Plate.
West, who died in prison in 1995 while awaiting trial accused of 12 murders of women and girls, knew Mary and was a known customer of the café.
A Gloucestershire Police spokesman said: "Excavation work at the Clean Plate café has now been completed and we can confirm no human remains or items of significance to the investigation have been found.
"Mary's family have been updated and is continuing to receive support from family liaison officers."
