Human remains have been discovered in a Worcestershire village, police have said.
The remains were found in Kempsey, about four miles south of Worcester, on Friday afternoon.
This is around seven miles from Pershore, where searches are underway for evidence connected to the disappearance of estate agent Suzy Lamplugh.
West Mercia Police said all lines of inquiry are being explored in Kempsey but it is not thought that the remains are related to the Lamplugh case.
They said: "We are aware of some speculation that this discovery may be linked to the disappearance of Suzy Lamplugh who went missing in the 1980s.

"Although we don't believe it to be, until we have the forensic post-mortem results we are not in a position to link it to any particular person at this stage."
Ms Lamplugh, 25, was working in Fulham, west London, when she disappeared on 28 July 1986.
