Fred West: Coffee Cellar at the Center of the Search for the Remains of Missing Teenage Mary Bastholm First Showed | UK News

Police looking for the remains of an alleged victim of serial killer Fred West have released the first images of the cafe’s cellar being searched.

Gloucester’s Clean Plate Cafe has been linked to the 1968 disappearance of Mary Bastholm, who worked there.

Officers search the property after a film crew discovered evidence of structural anomalies in the basement floor.

Mary, 15, has long been an alleged victim of West, who committed at least 12 murders between 1967 and 1987.

Gloucestershire Police have restarted the search after receiving ‘possible evidence’ from the TV production company to suggest the body of the missing girl may be buried there.

Officers and forensic archaeologists have started to search the cellar in recent days.

One of the finds presented to police was a photo taken by the production company of what appeared to be blue material buried in an area of ​​the cellar.

Mary was wearing a blue dress and a blue coat and had a blue bag with her the day she went missing.

Forensic archaeologists have confirmed that there are a number of structural anomalies in the cave that warrant further exploration and six voids in the ground will be reviewed.
