The swoop followed a surprise burst of activity in the biggest missing person hunt ever launched by the Yard. Two men were under questioning in London in what police were treating as the first real break in the mystery since Mrs. McKay, 56, vanished 41 days ago.

The farmhouse at the center of the hunt is occupied by a comparative newcomer to the village, his German wife and their young son and daughter. f2SSSi PIECE YELLOW ONIONS arM.
