A man accused of murdering Emma Faulds told police he did not search for her after she went missing, a court has heard.
Ross Willox said he left Ms Fauld's Kilmarnock home on the morning of 29 April 2019. She was reported missing the next day.
He claimed he only knew of any concern when Ms Fauld's sister called him.
The 41 year-old denies murdering Ms Faulds at his home in Monkton, South Ayrshire, on 28 April 2019.
Her remains were found in Glentrool Forest, Dumfriesshire on 12 June.
Jurors at the High Court in Glasgow were played Mr Willox' police interview, which took place on 9 May 2019.
