The former British government expert who identified several possible disposal sites for the body of Peter Falconio says he believes further searches have a “reasonably high” chance of locating the murdered backpacker’s body.

Dr Mark Harrison was the UK’s national police search adviser in the early 2000s and is considered a world-leading consultant in “no-body” homicide cases. He is referred to by the US FBI as “doctor search” and has been involved in high-profile cases including the searches for Madeline McCann, Daniel Morecambe and William Tyrell.
