THE search for missing schoolgirl Alice Gross has switched to Elthorne Park in Hanwell.

The 14-year-old, also from Hanwell, has been missing since August 28, 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 September 3.

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

Yesterday, police staged a reconstruction and released an interactive map showing Alice's last-known movements.

Alice's parents also urged anyone with information to help them.
