Jordan Ratcliffe
Jordan never called. Jordan never arrived at the hostel despite the hostel only being a less than 1 mile walk through the busy streets of the city centre from where he was dropped off. CCTV did not catch Jordan due to the gap in time between his last sighting in the city centre and when the missing persons report was submitted.
Jordan had originally agreed to spend some time at the hostel after his aunt became a carer for Jordan’s grandfather who had become ill. His aunt states that they parted on good terms however he wasn’t reported missing until September 8th 2008 as she had ‘not expected to immediately hear from Jordan’.
A £20,000 reward is still unclaimed after originally being donated in return for information that leads to Jordan. A sighting of Jordan in 2012 in Liverpool was discounted and possible sightings in London have led the police to London 3 times however these sightings were never confirmed or discounted it is believed.
When there was no confirmation of the sightings of Jordan the case was passed onto the Greater Manchester Police murder team who believed that the secret to Jordan’s disappearance may lie in the city centre canal. A section of the Rochdale canal was drained last April in the search for a body however Jordan was not found.
Officers remain working on the assumption that Jordan is still alive however it has to be taken into consideration that this may not be the case.
- Age at disappearance: 16
- Missing Since: 31-Aug-2008
- Missing from: Manchester
- Reference No: 09-004404
