A BODY has been found in the search for missing schoolgirl Alice Gross.
Police have opened a murder inquiry after finding a body hidden in the River Brent last night, although the body has yet to be formally identified.
Alice, 14, was last seen on August 28 near her home in Hanwell, west London, walking along the Grand Union canal towpath.
Her family has been informed of the development.
Fire crews from Croydon stations were sent to assist in the search last Friday, while specialist police officers from the borough also helped.
