In what has been a nearly three-year long investigation, police have made a breakthrough arrest this morning in relation to the murder of Lake Macquarie woman Carly McBride.
The 31-year old from Belmont disappeared in September 2014 during a visit to Muswellbrook in the Hunter Valley.
Strike Force Karabi was formed to investigate her disappearance leading to the search of bushland and properties in the Muswellbrook area, and in August last year, the remains of Ms McBride were found in roadside scrub at Owens Gap on the outskirts of Scone.
After extensive investigations, strike force investigators arrested a 39-year-old man just after 8.00am today at San Remo on the Central Coast.
He's assisting detectives with their inquires at Wyong Police Station.
Detectives have also executed a search warrant at the 39-year-old man's home nearby at Buff Point.
