Police investigating the disappearance of Alice Gross are expected to begin searching a west London park near the canal towpath where she was last seen.

The 14-year-old has been missing since 28 August, when she was filmed on CCTV walking along the Grand Union Canal.

Scotland Yard said part of Elthorne Park, which has been cordoned off, was an "area of interest".

Detectives continue to search for convicted murderer Arnis Zalkalns, named as the main suspect in the case.

The 41-year-old was filmed cycling along the canal 15 minutes after Alice was seen and went missing from his Ealing home on 3 September.

The Latvian was convicted of his wife's murder in 1998 and served seven years in jail before moving to the UK in 2007.

'New agony'

On Thursday police staged a reconstruction and released an interactive map showing Alice's last known movements.

Alice's parents urged anyone with information to "please, please help us".

In a statement they said they were "desperately concerned" for her welfare and "every morning brings new agony".

Detective Superintendent Carl Mehta said: "Alice was last seen on CCTV walking along the canal towpath, heading under Trumpers Way bridge towards Hanwell.

"Since 16:26 BST on that Thursday 28 August she has not been seen. Did you see Alice that afternoon? Have you seen her since? We need your help to find her."

He said Alice's walk was "particularly distinctive" and was similar to that of a power walker moving her arms up and down as she walked.

The hunt for Alice, from Hanwell, west London, is the largest Met Police search operation since the 7/7 terrorist bombings in 2005, with 600 officers from eight forces involved.

As well as the park, police are searching a stretch of the River Brent where her rucksack was found.

Detectives have also flown to the Latvian capital Riga as part of the investigation, although Scotland Yard said there was no evidence to suggest Mr Zalkalns was there.

The force stressed Mr Zalkalns was one of many lines of inquiry.

The BBC's correspondent in Latvia, Damien McGuinness said there was not enough evidence to issue a European Arrest Warrant, however legal experts believe Latvian police would detain Mr Zalkalns because there is reasonable suspicion a crime has been committed.
