The Metropolitan Police's deputy commissioner has defended his force's handling of the "colossal" investigation into Alice Gross' murder.
Scotland Yard has come under fire for delays in finding the 14-year-old's body and that of prime suspect Arnis Zalkalns.
It took police about a month to find Alice's body in the River Brent on Tuesday last week before Zalkalns' body was discovered hanging from a tree in Boston Manor Park, west London, on Saturday.
Giving evidence to the London Assembly Police and Crime Committee, deputy commissioner Craig Mackey said officers searched 32 square kilometres and 5.5km of rivers and canals.
He said: "When you have search areas of this size it takes an awful long time and there is not a huge amount of experience across the country of doing this."
And he said officers had looked at more CCTV material than during the London riots in 2011.
Around 600 officers, including personnel from 17 other forces, were involved in the Alice Gross operation - the biggest police search effort since the July 7 bombings in 2005.
Alice, 14, from Hanwell, west London, went missing on August 28.
A post-mortem examination proved inconclusive and it may be weeks before further tests are complete which will determine how she died.
