Ben Needham’s mum Kerry, 51, says she is a ‘nervous wreck’ after South Yorkshire Police confirmed they were ‘looking into’ remains found in the river Danube
The mum of missing Ben Needham believes her son was abducted – fearing a “sickening” link with Germany that’s haunted her for years.
Kerry Needham, 51, says she is a “nervous wreck” after South Yorkshire Police confirmed they were “looking into” remains found in the river Danube. Interpol has issued a âblack notice’ appealing for help to identify the remains of a five or six-year-old boy discovered in Germany a year ago. They say the child was not German and could have been abducted from overseas.
The remains were wrapped in foil, weighed down with a concrete slab and dumped in the river in Grossmehring, Bavaria. The news has shaken Kerry bringing back memories of a prisoner who once convinced them Ben was being held captive in Germany. Ben went missing when he was 21-months old from the Greek island of Kos in 1991.
British officers have assured Kerry they are looking into the German find and will arrange a meeting with the mum and the new Detective Inspector involved in Ben’s case. Kerry Needham told The Mirror: “I think Ben has been trafficked. It’s what we’ve thought since he went missing. It started when a strange man approached my dad on Kos after Ben went missing and told him: âYour grandson has been abducted to be sold. He’s blonde and blue eyed’.”
