Kenneth Jones: Family of missing Glenrothes teenager renew appeal 20 years on from his disappearance | Fife Today

“The night before he was all smiles, and happy playing video games with his uncle. There was no suggestion he was in any way troubled, that makes it all the more difficult to fathom.

And she points to the fact that Kenneth, aged 18 at the time, left home on that early morning of November 3, 1998, lightly dressed and in gym shoes despite the freezing temperatures, which suggests this wasn’t a planned disappearance by him.”
