After seven days of searching, police confirmed they had found paperwork belonging to someone who resides in a street near Trotter’s home. The paperwork was found at the Swanbank Renewable Energy and Waste Management Facility.
Officers said the discovery “indicates current search efforts are concentrated in the right area”.
