25 years and still missing: UK plea for tot
Print Edition
BRITISH police issued a renewed appeal in Greece yesterday for information on Ben Needham, the toddler who went missing from the Greek island of Kos 25 years ago, asking Greeks whether they might be him.
The child was only 21 months old when he disappeared as he played outside a farmhouse that his family was renovating. Despite repeated appeals and hundreds of possible sightings, the boy has never been found.
The hunt is one of Britain’s longest-running missing-person inquiries.
“The question I would like people to ask themselves is: could you be Ben?” said detective inspector Jon Cousins, the lead UK investigator.
“As a child, did you have blonde hair and blue eyes? Do you have doubts over who your parents are, or perhaps you look physically different to your parents? ... If you have any of these doubts, please call us,” he said.
South Yorkshire Police traveled to Kos in a bid for news. They have asked locals to help with information about a call received by the British Missing People Charity in 1993 stating that Ben was living in Greece under the name Andreas, and was being cared for by a man called Nicos.
