"I've always wondered whether it was treated as [a missing persons case] for as long as it was because they were two boys from a council estate in a poor part of town, who no-one but their families and friends had any sympathy for."
He pauses.
"I would like to think that isn't true and I would like to hope that's just my opinion. But it was always one of the things that was in the back of my mind."
Thanks for posting this, I know of this case personally. In my opinion the red bike is interesting. The lad was over the moon to get it and knew he'd be in trouble if he lost it, Im surprised he left it at the side of the Shell garage. I do wonder if someone moved it - ie, if the lads were snatched the bike may have been taken to the garage then. Alternatively if he did leave it there I would say he expected to be back in a few minutes. The garage worker said they saw the lads heading towards the shopping centre. Doesnt say if this is with or without the bike!! I think either they were put into a van (and they would have fought like crazy so it would have to be more than one attacker) OR they decided to have an adventure and hitchhike somewhere...this is when they got picked up by the wrong person. Im also wondering if they met up with people who appeared to be exciting (to them, at their age) youngish homeless people with access to a squat; who they went along with for the adventure. Paddy and David were used to having all-nighters, walking around wanting a bit of excitement. Anyone on the fringes of society might have appealed as interesting to the boys. In only one report I have read about an Atherstone link (a farm worker found 2 boys sleeping rough in a disused stable, and also a worker at Greggs gave the lads free cakes), was this them?? If so they may have been on the way to London -or got mixed up with the wrong sort in Atherstone, which despite being small does have its hidden problems.
The most likely suspect is Brian lunn field, he may of offered them a lift somewhere and once they got In the car he turned nasty, he did this to two boys and has a string of violent offences against boys including the murder of Roy tutil.I've been thinking about this case a lot lately as it's local to me. I think it's safe to assume if the boys were abducted then it was by a group - two lads would have been very difficult to control for one offender, unless he had a gun. Someone in Birmingham (or who used to live here) knows something.

Human remains found near where Birmingham boys went missing in 1994 | Daily Mail Online
[year/date typo in headline]
Police have found human bones at a building site just three miles from the spot where two boys vanished 24 years ago, MailOnline can reveal.
Detectives are digging at the new site for the Jaguar Land Rover plant in Birmingham, near to where Patrick Warren and David Spencer disappeared in 1996.
West Midlands Police cordoned off the site after builders made the grim find on Wednesday.
'The bones will undergo forensic and archaeological analysis,' a police spokesman said today.

So these bones have been found pretty much on the same road that Field was known to dump rubbish?
