Ben Needham’s mother said “I want to scream” when she learned the digger driver feared to have killed her boy took rubble to a dump hours after the toddler vanished.
Kerry gasped when told of the dramatic new twist as British police started the fresh search on the Greek island of Kos.
They turned their attention to a roadside builders’ dump less than a mile from the farmhouse where 21-month-old Ben went missing 25 years ago.
A “significant” new witness told police that digger driver Konstantinos “Dino” Barkas, feared to have killed Ben in a building site accident, took rubble to the dump on the same day or soon after.
South Yorkshire Police will spend the next four or five days in a finger-tip search of the rubble in a desperate hunt for a clue to what happened to Sheffield lad Ben.

Kerry said she is now convinced Ben’s body would have been moved from the spot where he died
She added: “I think the police are right. There was an accident and his body was taken and may have been hidden elsewhere.
"Seeing this new site has made it even more real – the fact the police are convinced he’s dead. “Nobody would look for him in that area they are now digging. They would always go back to the scene of the crime in Iraklis.”
Kerry Needham says she was stunned when officers started searched a roadside builders' dump. She also pointed out that there would have been no need for driver Dino to dump rubble at the new site. She said: “He already had a big mound of building waste which he had been using throughout that day and previous days. “The only reason to go elsewhere was to hide something.”
She also noted the rubble would have been taken away while her family were at the police station reporting Ben missing.
“It frightens me that he took rubble from that site when we were out of the way at Kos police station,” she said.
“Were they moving him when we couldn’t see their comings and goings?” Kerry, who is staying in a location near Kos, cried after seeing footage of the new site online and had to be comforted by her mum Christine, 64.
Her dad Eddy, 68, also spoke of his shock after hearing where the latest dig was located. He said: “I used to drive past that site on my way to work. It was a really quiet road and only local people knew it or would use it.
“I always knew there were two sites of interest but I had no idea about this location. It really shocks me. "Chris walked that way in the morning and walked back that way after Ben disappeared.
“But I do understand that police have their reasons for keeping that site quiet.”
