Ben Needham's mother dismisses report he was buried




Kerry Needham's family were renovating a farmhouse on Kos when Ben vanished

The mother of a boy who went missing in Greece 21 years ago has dismissed a report that the toddler died at the time in a building site accident.

Ben Needham, of Sheffield, went missing during a family visit to the island of Kos in 1991 when he was 21 months old.

A Daily Mirror report says Greek police believe he may have been buried under rubble near his family's farmhouse.

Kerry Needham said: "I was horrified when I saw that. I know my son is alive and well and out there somewhere."

The newspaper said Greek police wanted to excavate the now-overgrown mound of earth and rubble on a property neighbouring the farmhouse which Mrs Needham's father was renovating at the time of her son's disappearance.

However, Mrs Needham told BBC Radio Sheffield: "That mound of rubble was already there when Ben was still there.

"I find it very, very unlikely that Ben is there, unless he buried himself.

"Once it is proved that Ben is not dead... then maybe the Greek police will continue in their efforts to try and find him”
- Kerry Needham Ben's mother

"It was a shock to my system when I saw the newspaper report this morning. It is obviously an awful thought for myself and my family to have to deal with."

Police support

She said South Yorkshire Police, who have been supporting her during her search for Ben, could not confirm the report that Greek investigators now think a full excavation should be carried out.

"If that is what the Greek police want to do, then fine. Once it is proved that Ben is not dead, as I know, then maybe the Greek police will continue in their efforts to try and find him," she said.

Mrs Needham said she was continuing to receive support "24 hours a day, seven days a week".

A South Yorkshire Police statement said: "The investigation into the disappearance of Ben Needham remains with the Greek authorities.

"Should they request any help or support from South Yorkshire Police we will look to support them where we can and within our resources.

"The force's role is primarily to provide ongoing support to Ben's family, in particular his mum Kerry.

"South Yorkshire Police continues to undertake a review of material gathered locally during the past 20 years with officers also working with other agencies to examine any material held by them that might further the review."

It's all here, on this forum, a couple of years back:

    Mother of Ben Needham begs British holidaymakers for help in finding ... Jarvis
    claimed she was grabbed and bundled towards a car in Wrexham. Also arrested
    was Pierce Mount, the partner of Ben's mum, Kerry Needham.

    You know, there are way to many Ben's out there, tragic stories of children who disappeared mysteriously for no good reason.

    Looking at this case there is no reason for this child to have suddenly gone of the rador, i.e. remote country location, Mum gone to work grandparents took Ben to visit a neighbour, they were eating and Ben was playing outside, it was early in the day, Ben being so young would have had the natural curiousity that kids of that age have, and would have reacted to any exitement going on outdoors, that curiousity would not have led him to stray far from those who he saw as his comfort zone. I really do feel for Ben's Mum and her extended family, we know that the family fully co-operated with the authorities from the off, and if there had been a scent of doubt back then that this family had anything to do with Bens disappearance we would be looking at a miscarriage of justice scenario.

    Why did it take all these years to discover that there were excavation works going on close to where Ben was visiting that day? why wern't the family given the help they needed from the UK's home office of the day to ensure that the Greek authorities did the basics, and why did Kerry and her parents not realise that Ben's curiosity led him to strayed to far and his remains being found could have saved them all the nightmare they have lived with all these years.

    The cynic in me tells me that the only reason that Ben Needham's case is being dragged up by the media all of a sudden is because there is a a scandal brewing within Whitehall, that scandal I can only presume relates to Murdoch's reign as UK leader supreme past 15 years and the fact that the Uk Public could suddenly grow a conscience and demand ARRESTS ACROSS THE BOARD (never mind the fact that new graduates out there might just decide to connect to politics)....... well I can live in hope lol

    If the uncle rode off on his motorcycle after telling the toddler to stay put, the child might well have tried to follow him and come to grief. I wonder too why this idea of his being accidentally buried under rubble was not pursued at the time.
    How can the authorities in Greece prove he is not dead?

    ..... "Many hours passed before the Police were notified"

    Paedos/abcuctors hanging out in white cars stalking the country cottage.

    I'm sure I heard this mentioned somewhere else.

    TY Candyfloss,

    The Needhams felt felt "so safe" that Christine "got off to make the tea" instead of searching for Ben.
    The interviews were translated into Greek with no interpreter there except for a shopkeeper of the police's choosing and the Greek police did nothing to help.
    Ben was sighted at an airport and in a taxi and taken by the gypsies.
    The family had to return to the UK 2 months after Ben's disappearance.

    It's uncanny.

    just on Sky newspaper preview
    after an investigation by the Mirror newspaper it looks as though British police are in touch with police on Kos to arrange to dig an area of land where it is feared the little boy could have been accidentally buried under a pile of rubble where building work was in progress. Kerry Needham is said to have found the development depressing.
