A man who was arrested on suspicion of the murder of missing Co Down woman Lisa Dorrian has been released without charge. <\/p>\n

The 25-year-old from Bangor vanished on February 27th, 2005, after attending a party at Ballyhalbert Caravan Park.<\/p>\n

Despite extensive searches in multiple locations and campaigning by her family, Ms Dorrian\u2019s body has never been found.<\/p>\n
