Police have charged a man with the murder of Sarah Spiers who disappeared from Claremont 22 years ago.
Bradley Robert Edwards has been charged with the wilful murder of Sarah Spiers.
It will be alleged 18-year-old Ms Spiers was murdered on, or about, January 27 1996, after a night out with friends in Claremont.
Ms Spiers telephoned for a taxi from a phone box near the corner of Stirling Road and Stirling Highway in Claremont just after 2.00am that Saturday morning, but when the taxi arrived minutes later she was nowhere to be seen.
Her body has never been found.
WA Cold Case Homicide Squad detectives charged the 49-year-old, who is formerly from Kewdale earlier this morning, following extensive inquiries by the Macro Investigation Team within the Cold Case Homicide Squad.
He is due to appear in the Stirling Gardens Magistrates Court on next week, on this and other previously laid charges.
