A 31-year-old man arrested on suspicion of rape has been bailed pending further enquiries. The man was arrested yesterday by officers investigating the disappearance of Sheffield student Caroline Everest. Caroline, 18, was reported missing after leaving the Corporation nightclub in the city centre in the early hours of Sunday 22 November. Officers searching for Caroline discovered her body in a river in Summerfield Street, at the bottom of Ecclesall Road, at about 3.45am on Tuesday 24 November. The cause of Caroline’s death is still unknown and detectives investigating her death are treating it as unexplained. Detective Chief Inspector Victoria Short, the Senior Investigating Officer, said: “I would like to say thank you on behalf of Caroline’s family and South Yorkshire Police to the overwhelming public response we have had throughout the investigation so far. “This is an incredibly difficult time for Caroline’s family and I would ask that the media respect their privacy. “The investigation is still ongoing and we are urging anyone who saw Caroline on the night she disappeared to come forward. “Her picture has been widely circulated and if you saw her on that night please get in touch. Any information, no matter how small, could help us piece together her final steps to bring some closure to her family."
