Detectives investigating the disappearance of a county Tyrone man ten years ago have have ended a fresh search at Ardboe outside Cookstown.
Thirty two year old Gerard Conway was last seen in the Cookstown area in late January or early February 2007.
The search at Battery Road was undertaken as a result of new information.
The search used specialist resources including victim recovery dogs and a ground penetrating radar device.
The officer in charge of the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Gareth Talbot, said:
