BBC
Sister of man presumed murdered 30 years ago still hopes to see him again as police close case
''Andrew Bedford was last seen alive in the town on September 28 1990, with detectives believing the 27-year-old was shot and murdered. However, in the past 30 years no evidence has been uncovered to show Andrew is either alive or dead.

A cold case investigation into the disappearance was launched five years ago, and while a number of arrests were made, no charges were ever brought.

Last week Andrew’s family were told the investigation was being closed down.''

"Speaking to the Peterborough Telegraph, Andrew’s youngest sister Linda Adley (51) said she believed Andrew could still be alive - and had not given up hope of seeing him again.

“I believe he was given money to go and live abroad. Thirty years ago it was easy to buy a new ID. There was not as much CCTV as there is now, no mobile phones. It would be easy to slip out of society.

“Everywhere we go, I look out for him, and listen for his voice. He had a very distinctive voice, I would still recognise it.”

''Andrew was last seen on 28 September 1990, in Factory Bank, Ramsey, in a light blue Ford Cortina estate car eating some takeaway food, possibly fish and chips. Detectives believe he was killed that evening with a shotgun at a nearby garage called Mongrel Cars, which no longer exists.

Andrew, then of Tweed Street, Huntingdon, was wearing overalls, a khaki jumper, jeans and trainers and was described as 5’8”, of medium build, with mousey blond, curly, shoulder-length hair and various tattoos.''

".....there were even rumours Andrew’s body had been buried under Wembley Stadium''
 
What's the basis for believing he was killed with a shotgun at the garage?

''They believe he was killed on September 28 with a shotgun at a garage called Mongrel Cars, which no longer exists, in the market town.''

''Mr Bedford, then of Tweet Street, Huntingdon, was last seen in a light blue Ford Cortina at 6.20pm on September 28 1990 in Factory Bank, Ramsey. He was reported missing the next day.

He was wearing overalls, a khaki jumper, jeans and trainers and was described as 5ft 8ins, of medium build, with mousey blond, curly, shoulder-length hair and various tattoos.''


''Three people were arrested but released without charge.
The prime suspect for the shooting is now dead but others who were involved have never been brought to justice, the force said.''

''The front page of The Hunts Herald and Post on October 18 confirmed that Cambridgeshire Police were looking for a "mystery woman" who apparently witnessed a "body being dragged" through Monks Wood, near Alconbury.''

''The force drained the Ramsey Field Road Pond in a bid to find his body. However, a story in The Hunts Herald and Post revealed that the search for Andrew Bedford's body was delayed as toads were mating in the water, and the police needed to let the colony of toads spawn.''

In 2020, Cambridgeshire Police closed the case after 30 years of mystery.''

''Will the case ever re-open?​

35 years on from his disappearance, question marks still loom over what really happened to Andrew Bedford. ''
