For anyone wanting a whole picture of the case i suggest you purchase purchase Kerry's mother book ''Ben'' on Amazon. It's a heartbreaking read, and a good read for understanding the jurisdictional horrors of having a loved one go missing abroad.
A couple of interesting things from the book.
- On 24 July 1990 EXACTLY a year before Ben was abducted a young Finnish holidaymaker, Virpi Maria Hunnele was raped and killed on the same Iraklis hillside, no more than 400 yards from the farmhouse. The Kos police never told Kerry of this. Ben Disappeared on July 24, 1991.
- Builders working on another property ave statements to the police stating that they had witnessed a white car parked in the lane around 2.30pm the time Ben disappeared. There were two men in the front and a woman in the back. The car is believed to be a Suzuki Alto or similar model. ''They took your baby'' the police told Kerry.
- The car is believed to be owned by Xanthippe Agrelli, A Kos local who came into the investigation as a translator. She made inconsistent statements about the car. The Needham's wrote about Agrielli on this blog. http://benneedham18.blogspot.com.au/2007/10/never-ending-nightmare.html
- Two days after Ben went missing, he was reportedly seen at an airport. A receptionist remembered seeing a boy fitting Ben's description. He was accompanied by an older child who asked for some chocolate, and motioned towards the toddler who repeated in English ''choc choc'' they didn't have any money.
