A prisoner on a life sentence says he knows where the body of missing Bangor woman Lisa Dorrian is buried.
Jimmy Seales said she had been buried in a sealed container on an illegal landfill site near Ballygowan, County Down.
Seales, who says he was in possession of a car used to transport her body, claimed Ms Dorrian's body was put into a 40-gallon container, the lid of which was welded shut before it was buried at Ballygowan.
Ms Dorrian, 25, was last seen at a party at a caravan site in Ballyhalbert, County Down, in February 2005.
"My information is that Lisa was murdered at the Ballyhalbert caravan site by three drug dealers to who she owed £20,000," Seales told the Sunday Life.
"She told them that she would pay them once she got her big compensation claim which was due any day, but the situation got out of hand and they killed her."
The Sunday Life said Seales named the road and location of the burial site which the newspaper passed to police.
Her body has never been found despite extensive air, land, and sea searches.
Police said they would study the fresh allegations.
Det Chf Insp Justyn Galloway said "I would appeal to anyone who believes they have information about Lisa's disappearance and murder to come forward and talk to us.
"Despite the passage of time, it is not too late. Police inquiries are continuing."
Lisa's family and friends have campaigned for a long time in in an effort to find her.
They said she was "a bubbly girl" whose death "ripped the family apart".
Seales is serving a life sentence for the murder of Philip Strickland, 37, who died after being shot in the face at Ballydrain Road, near Comber,
