Ben's mother wasn't there at the time. She was working according to the new detail they are giving out.

I definitely won't be buying or reading her book.

Yes, I've always known the mother wasn't there, that she was working.
The only reason I'm hesitant to read her book (2013) is because I know I'll still have questions but I probably will read it, anyway and if / when I do, I'll share whatever is news to me.

He wasn't wearing any as he had wet himself and granny washed them and hung them up to dry apparently.

?? Why is it I don't recall that either? I must have missed a chunk somewhere. While my recall isn't always great, these days, usually when I do hear something, I go oh yeah, that's right, I forgot that because when I hear it, I do recall it. This I don't recall for some reason.

I read it on this thread. Post numbers 80 and 99.

Thank you. I went back and looked. I don't see that I hit any likes and back when I always hit likes if I read something so maybe I wasn't on or something, there were some periods of time I wasn't. I know I followed it at that stupid other place. And have on here just apparently not then. I guess. I'd have to read all to be sure.

Hmm. Thoughts are churning reading those posts. Not just about the shorts. Also reading the wanting to demolish the farmhouse extension, the excavator guy, who I've always known of, but read a bit again on now. Sure a long time for a witness to wait to come forward.

Not that i'm coming up with anything new, just thinking on it all.

He turned up after Ben had gone missing and asked the Grandfather where in the wall he wanted the door opening. The grandmother had convinced herself that Ben had gone with her son on his bike at that point. She didnt find out till she saw him later that Ben was not with him.

I'm talking about the witness who reported about the excavator guy in later years. I think you're talking about the excavator guy no? Sorry, I probably wasn't clear. A fair amount of info in those two posts. I probably jumbled it in my post.

Mum's frantic wait for DNA result on man claiming to be son missing for 35 years

Kerry Needham has an 'anxious wait' for a DNA test to be carried on an adopted man from America. She has been sent photographs and was surprised by the family resemblance.

EXCLUSIVE: Ben Needham mum's frantic wait for DNA results on man claiming to be missing son​

The mum of missing Ben Needham is "nervously" waiting for a DNA test on a man who suspects he could be her son, after seeing his photos which bear an ‘uncanny’ resemblance to her family.

She says the images sent to her also look like her missing son’s age progression image. Ben, from Sheffield, disappeared on the Greek island of Kos on July 24, 1991, aged 21 months. His family, including Kerry's parents and two brothers, had moved to Kos earlier in the year to start a new life.


Despite one of the longest missing person investigations in British history - including two excavations at the farmhouse where he was last seen - his whereabouts remain unknown. Recently police in the US have been investigating claims of a sighting, amid claims he could have been illegally adopted but their investigation had stalled.

Illegal adoption in the US during the 1980s and 1990s has been connected to international child trafficking scandals. Private adoption agencies and lawyers often bypassed regulations, matching stolen children with American parents.

Now Kerry has been contacted by a woman claiming her boyfriend could be one of those illegally adopted children. She wrote to Kerry, saying her adopted boyfriend ‘looks exactly like this future drawing’ and explained he was 'supposedly adopted in 1993.'

“He has always had questions about his adoption and his adopted parents.” She claimed they wouldn't give him his birth certificate and acted “insane” when he asked.

“I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, especially Kerry’s, but I feel like he is Ben. He is really hoping so as well…There are too many coincidences to ignore this.”

How has this guy gotten this far in life without a birth certificate? Does he work? Has he been in school? Does he have a driver's license? All of those things require proof of identification.

That’s always my first question in these circumstances.
