Police searching for missing teenager Jayden Parkinson are focusing their investigation on a churchyard grave.
Thames Valley Police said the hunt for Jayden has led them to the grounds of All Saints' Church in Didcot, Oxfordshire.
The 17-year-old girl disappeared on December 3 after she was last seen leaving the town's railway station at about 4.30pm.
Officers are acting on a tip-off received this afternoon, and have liaised with the family of the person buried in the grave.
Detective Chief Superintendent Andy Murray said: "This afternoon we received some significant and highly relevant information which leads us to concentrate our search efforts in the Great Western Cemetery.
"We're in the process of securing this grave and would like to emphasise that the family connected with this grave have been informed.
Jayden disappeared on December 3 "We will be here throughout the night and for a number of days. A tent has been erected which covers more than the specific grave we are focusing on.
"The families of those in the graves nearby will be contacted by us and reassured that there will be no disturbance to these graves."
He added that police would be at the site for "a number of days".
Earlier today, Jayden's former boyfriend, 22-year-old Ben Blakeley, of Reading, appeared at Oxford Crown Court charged with her murder and perverting the course of justice.
A 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, also appeared before Oxford magistrates charged with perverting the course of justice between December 3 and December 10 by allegedly assisting in the disposal of Jayden's body and other evidence.
Police have searched farmland, woodland and derelict buildings for Jayden More than 100 uniformed officers and detectives have been working on the case, backed up by specialists from the National Crime Agency.
Mr Murray said there was "no indication" that Jayden was alive, and appealed to the public to get in touch if they remembered seeing the teenager "on her own, or in the company of anybody".
He also repeated an appeal for any information about a man seen struggling with a suitcase just outside the village of Upton, near Didcot, in south Oxfordshire, at about 2am, on December 9.
The same man was later then seen with the same suitcase in the Lydalls Road area of Didcot - where All Saints' is located - at about 3.30am.
Detectives have since recovered several suitcases, one of which "may well be significant", Mr Murray said.
