A convicted killer is to be charged with the kidnap and murder of 13-year-old Milly Dowler, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has said.
Milly's body was found on Yateley Heath in Hampshire in 2002, six months after she went missing in Walton-on-Thames.
She disappeared near a railway station in March on her way home from school.
Former bouncer Levi Bellfield will be charged with the killing after the CPS said it received a large dossier of circumstantial evidence.
Former bouncer Bellfield was jailed for life in 2008 for killing Amelie Delagrange and Marsha McDonnell.

Red Daewoo
She disappeared near a railway station that afternoon, triggering a UK-wide search.
CPS officials began considering a charge in August 2009, after receiving a large dossier of circumstantial evidence from police.
The files of material, compiled by Surrey Police, include new evidence against Bellfield dating from December 2008.
Levi Bellfield was given a whole life term for killing two young women
In recent years the investigation has focused on a red Daewoo car seen on the day of the disappearance. Police believed it was used to transport her body.
Last year a lake near Heathrow Airport was unsuccessfully searched while scrap dealer Nirmal Gharu was questioned then released without charge.
Bellfield, whose girlfriend once owned a red Daewoo, was first arrested and interviewed over the teenager's death five years ago.
He is already serving a whole life sentence for murdering the two young women, aged 22 and 19, after they got off buses in south-west London.
He was also found guilty of trying to kill Kate Sheedy, then 18, in 2004.
