    I would've thought it wouldn't have gone unnoticed if he had been gifted them. It's been said before they were somewhat hidden in his room. But, as with many details in this case, it remains unclear how true that is. Kevin has been described as a quiet boy who rarely went out, so I suppose he...

    Of course I understand that, and I apologise if I came off as rude or blunt in my previous message. I should clarify that I don't rule out your opinion as a possibility, I just don't share the same opinion. Also I completely take in what you're saying about it being a different time and that a...

    I don't want to sound too blunt here, as i think continued discussion of possibilities in Kevin's case is a good thing. But I'm not trying to say he couldn't have been, in some way either somewhat or fully sexually active. What I disagree with, as I said before is the suggestion that he must've...

    I've seen that be said a plenty of times, and I understand why people may feel that way, but I personally don't think Kevin was gay at all. Obviously the attitudes were much different at times, and Croydon was quite a dangerous area, and it has been pointed out a lot of cruising went on in parks...

    I do think that's a very interesting point, as it's been pointed out, yes people do go missing every day. But, a year before Kevin went missing, Reece Collins left his house for the last time and was later found hanged in a tree in some woods by his father who was out looking for him. You may...

    Is it the Missing or Murdered one? I've seen that before, very sad for all involved. The podcast is an interesting one, it brings up the watch which was supposedly Lee's being recovered. Other than that I don't know what to make of it all, it's all very clear that William Lambert was a very...

    I'll need to double check but I was sure it was someone who worked with him at the co-op, so I maybe just assumed it was a girl similar age to him, that's my bad! You're right that is part of the issue with this case. I know there's only really Alex left of Kevin's family to tell the story of...

    The person who posted said it was for independent research into historic missing persons in the UK and not seeking anybody's personal data. Their aim was to understand the review process and current status of such cases. They wanted to know if both cases were regarded as open, inactive or...

    I've seen a few articles lately on Jack O'Sullivan, and was recently reading about Mark Garvey. Spooky coincidence that they all happened on the 2nd March. It happens too often where boys or young men just disappear completely without a trace. Yeah, the stereo is really interesting because so...

    As always, thanks for replying! I had read in newspaper archives about searches but couldn't find anywhere specific. Something about the similarity with Reece Collins, and the proximity to the Reece Collins case makes me think it could be nearby woodland that should be/should've been searched...

    I doubt it was even checked. From what I've read, it's a bit back and forth on where the speakers had come from. In a Crimewatch appeal 4 months after he went missing, it's specifically mentioned that he spent most of his savings on new stereo equipment. Much later, it's believed that the...

    I remember the Claudia Lawrence case, that's another sad one where there's been too few answers and developments over the years. As for the newspaper speculation about her at the time relating to her private life. That's a case of victim blaming and sensationalism to sell more newspapers...

    Yeah, I fully believe everything in that post as true. I don't know how thoroughly it's been checked out though by police. I don't even think it has been at all.

    I've read a bit about Reece Collins, the way his death was initially ruled as suicide by misadventure, and that weird self gratification angle it was ruled as. There's a big reddit post with alot of speculative information about a dodgy football coach called Derek. I don't think it was a...

    I was looking at Google Earth and plotting out the locations of the key points in Kevin's disappearance. I was also looking at the death of Reece Collins, which happened in 1985. Obviously, I'm not the first person to wonder if there is some connection, as I had seen a lengthy Reddit topic about...
