On 24 May D/Supt Robertson said : " Zoe was a popular girl and well known in the area . From our enquiries so far , we know Zoe left home on Saturday evening around 5 pm . We would obviously be very keen to find out where she was , and who she was with , between then and 4.20 pm on Sunday . She was last seen wearing grey tracksuit bottoms , a white , long sleeved T-shirt and black Nike trainers ... We will interview friends , her boyfriend and all her associates . " Ross Hemphill , who had n't seen Nelson on the day of the murder , was interviewed by detectives and ruled out as a suspect . Police began checking CCTV and telephone records as well as interviewing friends and family and carrying out house-to-house enquiries . Witnesses reported seeing a fire on Monkey Hill at around 11.20 pm on the night of the murder . D/Supt Robertson said : " We know there was a fire at 11.20 pm on Saturday in exactly the spot where Zoe was found . You would need local knowledge to go there . We firmly believe the answers in this case lie in this community ... It had only got dark at 10 pm and it was the hottest day of the year so there must have been people around this area . " On 26 May police said that there had been " a poor response to their appeals " and launched a dedicated email address and SMS text number , citing concerns that witnesses may have been too afraid to come forward . D/Supt Robertson said : " The response so far has been slower than we would have liked ... We hope that by offering new ways to contact the investigation team more people will come forward . " Detective Constable ( DC ) Jennifer Bell , who had previously been seconded to the Metropolitan Police Service 's SO15 Counter Terrorism Command , was brought into the inquiry to examine hours of recovered CCTV footage for sightings of Nelson . DC Bell , who had also used her skills in the aftermath of the 7 July 2005 London bombings and the 2007 Glasgow International Airport attack , eventually located an image of Nelson taken inside a Scotmid Co-operative store on Manse Road , Newmains at 5.30 pm on 22 May . Police also received a confirmed sighting of her at 5.40 pm on Cambusnethan Street , walking towards the Cambusnethan area . The CCTV stills of Nelson were released to the public on 27 May to jog potential witnesses ' memories and police also announced that they had set up a page on Bebo " in a bid to engage with young people who may know something which could be useful to the inquiry " particularly those teenagers who may have been reluctant to speak directly to police . D/Supt Robertson explained that the police were using new media for the first time in a murder investigation as they believed that many of those who knew Nelson were teenaged or younger and may not have wanted their parents to know where they were at the time or what they were doing . He reassured potential witnesses that : " If there are people out there underage drinking , I do n't care . If there are people where they should n't be , I do n't care . This is a violent murder investigation and we need to solve it . " By 28 May several witness reports had been received by the police . One sighting of Nelson , at 5.15 pm , reported that she had been with a man who was " very drunk " and was being violent towards her , " punching her on the head " . Another witness said he saw Nelson walk past his garden in Newmains in the company of a man with a tattooed face . A third witness had seen Nelson and a man of similar appearance in Newmains , and said : " He just looked angry , " punching a lamp post as he walked past and saying he was going to " kill some cunt tonight . " One witness said he had overheard the man , who was " angry and agitated , " saying that he would " end up killing someone tonight . " Another witness heard him tell Nelson : " This is all your fucking fault " while pointing angrily in her face . A fourteen-year-old girl also saw the pair together " boozing behind Newmains Asda . " She said he was bare-chested and sunburnt and told her his name was " Rab Bayne " and had " asked me to rate his body , like out of ten . " She described how the pair were drinking alcohol that they claimed was stolen – the male drinking tequila and Nelson drinking vodka . A passer-by reported seeing Nelson with a man with a facial tattoo outside the Scotmid store in Newmains , where she was rubbing suntan lotion into his sunburned back which was " red as a lobster " . He said : " She did n't look too happy . I thought it was a boyfriend-girlfriend thing . They must have got something in the shop , sun tan lotion , because as they were walking away the girl was rubbing something onto his shoulders . " A shirtless , sunburned man with a tattooed face was also seen " wandering aimlessly " in Cambusnethan on the evening of 22 May , attracting the attention of a family who had gathered to watch the 2010 UEFA Champions League Final on television . One of the group said : " What attracted attention was his hairstyle and his back was very , very red from the sun . " Police also received information that Robert Bayne had telephoned an acquaintance on 24 May and asked for help to " batter " the last people to see Nelson . Crucially , the call was made before the body had been identified . The witness said : " He asked me to help him batter Ross Hemphill and Stewart Campbell , who he claimed were the last to see Zoe . I do n't know why he said this because we did n't know it was Zoe who was found . " Just before 6 pm on 28 May Robert Bayne walked into the police incident caravan at Wishaw and said he wanted to make a statement . The officer on duty , PC Robert Davie , said : " The male appeared to be quite intoxicated . He was slurring his words . " Bayne said he had been to Motherwell several days previously and on the return journey a man called Stewart Campbell had got onto the bus . He told PC Davie : " I went up to Stewart Campbell and said to him ' Were you with Zoe on Saturday night ? ' " to which he claimed Campbell replied : " Aye , I killed her . " As Bayne began to give a description of Campbell , police detectives walked into the caravan and immediately detained Bayne by snapping handcuffs on him . On the morning of 29 May Strathclyde Police issued a statement saying : " A 20-year-old man has been arrested and is presently detained in police custody in connection with the death of Zoe Nelson . A full report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal . " Bayne was detained in custody to appear at Hamilton Sheriff Court on 1 June 2010 . At the subsequent brief court hearing Bayne made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody . During police interviews following his arrest , Bayne insisted that the last time he had seen Nelson was on the morning of 22 May " after a chance meeting , when he went to a local newsagent to buy cigarettes . " He claimed he then spent the rest of the day at home in Cambusnethan . At a preliminary hearing at the High Court of Justiciary in Edinburgh on 1 December 2010 , Bayne entered not guilty pleas to all charges . A trial date was set for February 2011 . On 8 January 2011 Bayne was transferred to HMP Greenock where he was segregated from the main prison population for his own safety
