A body has been discovered in the search for a missing man police believe could have been murdered.
An investigation was launched after Craig Foy, 40, of Whitefield, was last seen near Bury Old Road in Prestwich, Bury, on 26 July.
Three men were arrested on suspicion of murder, with one suspect since released on bail and two others facing no further action.
Greater Manchester Police did not revealed where the body was found but previously said Mr Foy had been seen on CCTV climbing into Heaton Park shortly before midnight the day he went missing.
The force said while formal identification has not yet taken place the body was believed to be Mr Foy’s and his family had been informed.
Det Ch Insp Jill Billington said: “The investigation remains ongoing to establish the circumstances leading up to Craig’s death, and to ensure that we can get the answers that his family deserve.
“We appreciate the support of the public in sharing our appeals to locate Craig and ask for his family to be given privacy, space and time to process their loss.”
Police are continuing to appeal for information and said material can be uploaded to a major incident public portal that allows people to submit photos and videos.
