Hai Nguyen, 20, disappeared from her home in Hesketh Crescent on June 27 2005.
She had come to England from Vietnam in May 2003. Wiltshire Police refused to
say whether she was ever found.
Mr Halliwell was arrested in a supermarket car park on Thursday.
Detectives are hoping to speak with anyone who was poaching or lamping in
fields around Ramsbury, 13 miles outside Swindon, in the early hours of
Saturday March 19.
Det Supt Steve Fulcher said he was interested in any information they might
have about suspicious activity in the area, and any possible sightings of a
green Toyota Avensis.
He added: "I want to stress that we only want information from you that is
relevant to the Sian O'Callaghan inquiry, we are not interested in prosecuting
anyone for lamping or poaching."
After being told about the location of a second possible victim, detectives
discovered the woman's remains in a field in Eastleach in Gloucestershire on
Saturday morning. The body of Miss O'Callaghan, who disappeared from the Suju
nightclub in Swindon in the early hours of Saturday March 19, was discovered
in a shallow grave next to The White Horse of Uffington, in Oxfordshire, on
Thursday.
She was formally identified by a member of her family the following day.
Police said that there was no evidence that Miss O'Callaghan was sexually
assaulted.
They believe that she was originally buried in Savernake Forest, but was moved
after officers and members of the public concentrated their searches on the
4,500-acre wood.
More than 5,000 people gathered to pay tribute to Miss O'Callaghan by floating
Chinese lanterns into the night sky at the Polo Ground in Swindon on Saturday
night.
An estimated 1,000 lanterns were released following a two-minute silence at
8pm.
Hundreds of people then joined in a recital of The Lord's Prayer as others lit
candles and comforted each other.
The event - called Lighting Up the Sky for Sian - was organised via a Facebook
page.
Mr Halliwell, of Swindon, was charged with Miss O'Callaghan's murder at 9.20pm
on Saturday.
He is in police custody at Gablecross Police Station in Swindon and is due to
appear in court this morning.
