Sussex Police said their visit yielded details about Mr Gibson's tripThe disappearance of a student in Cambodia in 2004 remains a mystery, say a team of Sussex detectives who have been investigating the case.
The four major crime branch officers have just returned to the UK after a 10-day trip to Cambodia to help police there with the Eddie Gibson case.
Backpacker Mr Gibson, 21, from Hove, went missing in October 2004.
"The inquiries in Cambodia have been useful but his whereabouts are still unknown," said a police spokeswoman.
Mr Gibson was three weeks into a course at Leeds University when he decided to leave and travel in Asia.
More details
He was last heard from when he e-mailed his mother on 24 October.
It was hoped the Sussex Police team would be able to help the Cambodian National Police shed some light on where Mr Gibson might be or what may have happened to him.
The spokeswoman said their inquiries had yielded more details about what was already known about his time in Cambodia.
"Further inquiries based on these new details will be made both in the UK and also in Cambodia.
"However, Eddie's movements after 24 October 2004 remain a mystery."
Mr Gibson's father, Mike, spent 12 days in the area last year and held a news conference in an attempt to gain more information about what happened to his son.
The last reported sighting of Mr Gibson was on 23 October in Phnom Penh by a Cambodian woman known as Ami with whom he had a holiday romance.
When his family went to meet him from a flight which left Bangkok, Thailand, on 1 November, he did not turn up.

I wish all Khmers who are non-CPP to be united in order to win the next general election.It means those who will not vote for CPP won't fight each other and hold their hand to liberate our Homeland from.....? in order to promote prosperity to our people.And I also bag to those opportunist politicians of the Non- CPP's party to quit politic in 2008'election including Mr. Sam Rainsy who are trying to cheat our courageous Khmer Activists.
I wish NO:FUNCINPEC-CPP's government, NO:SAMRAINGSY-CPP's government and NO:FUNCINPEC-SAMRAINGSY-CPP'S government.
I wish after 2008's election Cambodia will be independent for the second time!!!!
