Missing Person Squad detectives arrested the 61-year-old Pyramid Hill man on February 13 before interviewing him.
He was then released, pending further enquiries.
But a Victoria Police spokeswoman this morning confirmed the man was no longer considered a person of interest in the case.
Krystal Fraser was 23 years old and almost due to give birth to a baby she planned to name Ryan when she disappeared nine years ago.
She had a mild intellectual disability and was described as very friendly and trusting, but streetwise.
Krystal was last seen leaving a friend’s home in Albert Street, Pyramid Hill, on the night of June 20, 2009.

She received a phone call on her mobile phone from a public phone booth outside the Leitchville Post Office in Findlay Street shortly before midnight that same night.
It is believed the person who made that call was the last person to speak to Krystal before she went missing.
Detectives believe the young woman was murdered, but as yet, no trace of her has been found.
A reward of up to $100,000 is offered for information leading to the conviction of the person or people responsible for Krystal’s death.
The Department of Public Prosecutions will also consider granting any person who provides information on the identity of the offender or offenders protection from prosecution.
Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
