Rewritten Article:
Over two decades ago, the baffling vanishing act of a 30-year-old man named Scott, who went by Robert Scott Clive, has left his family and the Northumbria Police puzzled. Scott moved from Stranraer in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, to North Tyneside town, North Shields, just prior to his disappearance[1].
On the chilly night of 10 October 2002, Scott was last seen sauntering around the streets of North Shields at around 11pm[1]. His absence, reported by his concerned family, led to the launch of a murder investigation, despite no body being discovered at the scene[1].
Fast forward to Saturday, Northumbria Police made a considerable leap in the case by arresting three individuals in their forties on suspicion of murder, following some intriguing new leads[2]. One of the arrestees is a 49-year-old man who was detained last summer in connection with the investigation[2]. As of Monday, the trio has been released on bail, pending further investigations[2].
Coronation Street in North Shields is one of the locations that detectives have zeroed in on, searching the area for any shred of evidence related to the case[1]. DI Mark Atherton, who leads the investigation, urges anyone who lived on Coronation Street at the time of Scott's disappearance or knows about his whereabouts that night, to come forward with any information that might help crack the case[1].
Detectives have pored over hundreds of hours of CCTV footage and spoken to various witnesses to piece together Scott's movements the night he went missing[1]. Unconfirmed sightings placed a man fitting Scott's description near the banks of the River Tyne in the early hours of the following morning[1].
Speaking last year, Scott's mother, Patricia Clive, shared her family's distress, stating, "We can't bear this torment any longer." Heartbreakingly, Scott's eldest grandson, who had just turned 30, is living his life to the fullest, providing an unavoidable comparison for the family[1].
