Sock Missing In Jo Yeates Murder Case
Detectives investigating the murder of Jo Yeates have said her body was missing a sock when it was found on Christmas day.
The 25-year-old was found in Longwood Lane, Failand, eight days after she was reported missing from her home in Clifton, Bristol.
The sock is described as a size five, ski-style sock.
Crime scene investigators are continuing to search her Clifton flat.
Police are yet to pinpoint where or when she died.
Yesterday officers launched a Facebook campaign in a bid to find the killer.
Detectives investigating the murder of the Landscape Architect have not ruled out a sexual motive, but say there is no evidence that a sexual assault took place.
Police have appealed for witnesses of a 4x4 seen near to where her body was found.
Her landlord, Chris Jefferies, 65, was arrested on suspicion of her murder, but has been freed on bail.
Scott Fulton, Head of e-services at the force, said: "On this inquiry alone we have had shares of the story from the force's Facebook page of 24,220.
"Additionally there have been over 63,000 views of the news updates on our website, a further 18,000 on the dedicated Jo page and over 70,000 views of the CCTV clips on our YouTube channel.
"Through the website we have had 260 inbound messages to the incident room through the website."
Miss Yeates was last seen around 8pm on 17 December after she had been out with colleagues in the Bristol Ram pub in Park Street.
On her way home she visited three shops and was filmed on CCTV.
In one of the stores she bought a pizza - the receipt was found in her flat but no evidence of the pizza or the packaging has been found at this time.
