In connection with/in relation to
Hello,
Would you consider these two sentences different in meaning: "Police wanted to talk to him in connection with/in relation to his wife's disappearance"? As far as I know, their meanings are at least similar in such contexts. Do you think there are any major differences between the two constructions?
"I have nothing further to say in relation to this matter." This is a sentence provided by Macmillan Dictionary. I don't think that "in connection with" would sound as good here. Any objections?
