Kent Police arrested a man in his 20s from the Canterbury area on Friday, and detectives were granted a 36-hour extension to his detention, lasting until Monday evening.
Large numbers of police, from several forces, have been in Aylesham on Monday as the probe continues.
The searches have been taking place around a field less than two miles from Ms James' home in the hamlet of Snowdown.
Ms James, described as "fiercely loyal" by her family, died from serious head injuries while out walking her dog.
