Thames Valley Police says a body found in Buckinghamshire on Saturday has no connection to the missing persons inquiry over missing RAF airman Corrie Mckeague.
Image source, Suffolk PoliceA police officer on routine patrol found the remains of a man near the M40 in High Wycombe.
Police are treating the death as "unexplained, but not suspicious".
Nicola Urquhart, whose son went missing from Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk on 24 September, said earlier: "There is nothing to initially suggest this is Corrie."
A woman whose parents are thought to have been murdered has told a jury an unknown man accosted her father in his garden in the weeks before his death.
The body of Peter Stuart, 75, was found in shallow water in woodland near his home in Weybread, Suffolk, on June 3 last year. His wife Sylvia, 69, is missing, presumed dead.
Their daughter, Christy Paxman, told Ipswich Crown Court that her father was approached by the man on two occasions about buying his house.
She said her father was surprised "as he hadn't had anyone round to value the house".
The prosecution claims Ali Qazimaj, 43, was a carer to Mrs Paxman's elderly father-in-law, Sidney Paxman, and murdered the Stuarts.
The defendant claims he is called Vital Dapi, and is innocent.
The court heard the defendant had accrued gambling debts and that Sidney Paxman had mentioned the Stuarts to him, describing them as millionaires.
The defendant, who was assisted by an Albanian interpreter, was extradited from Luxembourg to the UK to face murder charges.
The Stuarts were last seen alive together on CCTV footage from a shop in Pulham Market, Norfolk.
The trial continues.

It was the Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock who revealed that Emyr Huws took a pay cut to join Ipswich Town on loan last month.
The 23-year-old, who made his debut for Mick McCarthy's side on Saturday, has been telling us more about his switch from South Wales today.
"The first half of the season hasn't gone my way," Huws said. "I didn't play many games and I was keen to come here.
"I have admired the manager here for a while so when I knew he was interested I was keen to get the move pushed through. A pay cut had to be done, but it's not that much of a big deal."
Ryman Premier Division promotion chasers Leiston have had to postpone tonight's match with Tonbridge due to a waterlogged pitch at Victory Road.

At the second day of the Weybread murders trial, the prosecution has revealed blood and hair found in the defendant's car matched the DNA profile of Peter and Sylvia Stuart.
The prosecution claims Ali Qazimaj, 43, quit his job in Essex after Mr Stuart's body was found - suggesting he had "done a bad thing".
The defendant claims he is called Vital Dapi, and that he is not Ali Qazimaj.
Ipswich Crown Court heard that blood on the door of a car found in Dover matched the DNA profile of 75-year-old Mr Stuart, while hairs in the boot of the car matched the profile of his 69-year-old wife.
Mr Stuart's body was found with nine stab wounds in the river near his home in Weybread in June. Mrs Stuart is still missing, but is presumed dead.
The couple were last seen alive on CCTV footage at Pulham Market on 29 May.
The defendant denies the charges against him.
This is what the trail of destruction looked like at the Lady Lane service station this morning.
Ram-raiders used a vehicle to hit the garage in Hadleigh, shortly after 02:00 this morning.
CCTV footage shows two people on camera breaking open the cigarette cabinet.
John Dowling, a spokesman for the Londis store at Lady Lane, said a lot of stock was taken.
"They had made a beeline for the stock, which is their usual MO, they go for the high-value, easy-to-move-on stock. It's about £5,000 worth of cigarettes that they've stolen last night."
