A suspect arrested months ago over the 2005 disappearance of a woman has been placed under custody again on suspicion of murdering a man missing since 1992.
The 59-year-old Tynedale suspect was first arrested in December in connection with the case of Janet Brown, who went missing eight years ago.
He has been bailed pending further inquiries.
This arrest was revealed only nine days ago because police started digging for Ms Brown's body in remote farmland near Hexham, Northumberland.
Police have now announced that the same man has been re-arrested, along with a 44-year-old-man from Newcastle, in connection with the case of Michael Straughan, who has been missing for over two decades.
There is no known link between the two missing people.
Mr Straughan was 38 when he was reported missing on June 20, 1992, a day after he was seen at the Farmers' Rest Pub in Haymarket, Newcastle.
He failed to return home that night.
Various enquiries were conducted at the time but there have been no further sightings of Mr Straughan.
Ms Brown was last seen in June 2005 Detective Chief Inspector Nicola Musgrove, who is leading the investigation, said: "Further information has come to light which has led to the arrest of two men on suspicion of murder.
As this is a live enquiry we are unable to go into more details but at this stage there is no obvious link between Michael Straughan and Janet Brown.
"While we appreciate Mr Straughan's disappearance was more than 20 years ago, we would ask that anyone who has information about him or knew him to get in touch.
"Our inquiries into the whereabouts of Janet Brown continue and searches of land are progressing well."
Anyone with information about Ms Brown or Mr Straughan is asked to call Northumbria Police on 101 ext 69191 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Last Monday, police announced they were searching a 40-acre farm at Sparty Lea in West Tynedale for Ms Brown's body.
Ms Brown was a TV extra who went missing when she was 45 and before she could claim her parents' estate, which was reportedly worth £1m.
There has been no confirmed sighting of the woman, who lived in the Lowgate area of Hexham, since June 2005.
