I've never heard of these missing boys before.

An American link about this case. It's very irritatingly presented with problems moving from one page to the next but it does raise some interesting points suggesting why the case didn't receive as much publicity as it might have done.

A "new" programme about this case. It's presented by Professor David Wilson who is known for stating the bleeding obvious; he hasn't actually come up with anything new, it's all in the Daily Mail link from 2016. It's really irritating how he gives the impression that he's just discovered all this information himself; goodness knows how the actress Emilia Fox agreed to be the co-presenter.

The old American link is no longer available. From memory, it told of the boys' dysfunctional families and of their criminal tendencies and that those things deemed them to be not deserving of much time and attention.

A missing child case which I hadn't heard of until now - it's strange how some get more attention than others. For once I'm not thinking of the McCanns but of the Summer Wells case. We certainly can't say there that the social standing of the parents went in their favour.

Here's the most recent story I can find plus an early report.

We've mentioned the strange case of Andrew Gosden before - some recent developments.

Why on Earth was it necessary to mention the McCann case!

McCanns mentioned again
This was over 50yrs ago so...

Groan! It looks as if the lunacy will never end.
