Joanna Yeates went missing on December 17
Officers will look at footage from Clifton suspension bridge in Bristol, on the main route from Miss Yeates' house to where she was found on Christmas Day.
The 25-year-old's death is being treated as suspicious, with the results of a post-mortem examination due later.
Miss Yeates, from Clifton, Bristol, had not been seen since December 17 when CCTV showed her in a Tesco store on her way home to her flat in Canynge Road.
A couple walking their dogs on Christmas morning found her body as they walked along Longwood Lane, close to Bristol and Clifton Golf Club. It was about three miles from where the graduate lived.
The Avon Fire Service helped police remove the corpse, which was clothed and covered in snow, from the scene in order to preserve the site for a thorough forensic examination.
Chief Superintendent Jon Stratford said: "Our heartfelt condolences go out to Joanna's family for their loss. We have not stopped working hard throughout the Christmas period to find their daughter after she was reported missing.
"Now we will work just as hard to discover exactly what happened to her and how she came to be in Longwood Lane on Christmas morning. Until the post-mortem examination is able to firmly establish how Joanna died, we are keeping an open mind about the cause of her death."
Before the grim discovery, Miss Yeates' father said he "would be relieved" if the body was his daughter so they would have the opportunity to say goodbye.
David Yeates told a newspaper: "It hasn't been a Christmas for us. I don't know what it's been. It's been surreal, totally unreal. In truth we feel like we hope ... we would be relieved if it was her."
