Today, police said a 63-year-old man from Bradford had been arrested on suspicion of her murder.
He is currently being questioned by detectives in police custody.
Last week, Lindsay’s mother Geri Rimer said: “It will be 22 years that we have been making these appeals, 22 years of complete anguish and heartbreak and still nobody has come forward.

In recent years detectives have reviewed previous suspects and conducted interviews with potential witnesses from the 1990s.
West Yorkshire Police has been working alongside forensic experts in Canada and Germany in the hope it will shed new light on evidence gathered from the crime scene.
