Stephen Pollard, who was 58, was reported missing on February, 27, 2015, and his body was found on the banks of the River Aire, between Beal and Birkin in North Yorkshire, on May 22 that year.

His death was not treated as suspicious at the time but new information led detectives to re-investigate.
