Police sniffer dogs have detected traces of blood at the former children's home in Jersey at the centre of a major abuse investigation.
The dogs found two spots of blood in a concrete bath in an underground chamber at Haut de la Garenne in St Martin.
Police say 100 people claim to have been abused at the home, where part of a child's skull has been found.
Some 25 people are suspected of taking part in sexual and physical assaults at the home dating back to the 1960s.
Investigators say there are more than 40 suspects in the inquiry overall, and 262 more phone calls relating to allegations of abuse are still being processed.
Jersey's Deputy Police Chief, Lenny Harper, read a letter to journalists which he had received from one alleged victim who had been interviewed.
"Whilst finishing up with you I did experience a period of an emotional breakdown, yet again. I can say now that a heavy weight has been lifted not only from my shoulders, but from my heart," the letter said.
