Police investigating the disappearance of Alice Gross want to speak to a Latvian man seen on the same canal towpath used by the schoolgirl. The Met have made a new appeal to find Arnis Zalkalns, who went missing a week after Alice and used the Grand Union Canal route to get to work. Alice, 14, from Hanwell, was last seen on CCTV cameras on 28 August by the same canal route in west London.

Mr Zalkalns, 41, was reported missing on 5 September. He had failed to meet a colleague on the morning of 4 September to cycle to work on the canal path. Mr Zalkains rides a red Trek Mountain Bike and was due at work in Isleworth, police said. The 5ft 10in builder was last seen on 3 September at his home in Ealing, where he lives with his partner and child. He is of stocky build and has dark brown hair that he normally wears tied in a pony tail, Scotland Yard said.
