South Australian police have made an arrest in one of state's most baffling murder cases dating back 30 years.

A 65-year-old man has been arrested in relation to the murder of 10-year-old schoolgirl Louise Bell.

Louise was last seen on January 4, 1983 when she went to bed at her Hackham West home in Adelaide's southern suburbs.

She was abducted from her bedroom during the night but her body has never been found.

Deputy commissioner Grant Stevens says a comprehensive review of the investigation over the past two years identified a number of new lines of enquiry.

"Murder investigations never close and police do follow up every line of enquiry in the hope that each case is solved and the justice process completed," he said on Tuesday.

Mr Stevens said police had remained in contact with the Bell family over the past 30 years.

"Louise's family remain devastated by her disappearance and remain hopeful that her remains will, one day, be found," he said.

The man charged with murder will appear in the Port Lincoln Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
