Mathew Arrowsmith's body was found on State Highway 65 near Shenandoah in the early hours of 29 August.

Detective Dan Shields said they are working to identify the occupants of a late-model silver Sedan that travelled north from Springs Junction to Murchison between 12.30am and 1.30am that morning.

He is hopeful they could help with sightings of Arrowsmith.
