I think when people are trying to hide their writing style, they tend to write in all caps. It is easier to make it seem a bit more anonymous that way. MOO

There must be SOMETHING that made them question the parents?! Is there any water between the toilet and his home?

I dislike this quote from his mom in one of the articles found here: Clark, Steven December 1992

I think it's quite cruel in a way for the missing person, who's an adult, to just disappear without any contact with their family. You just feel as though you've just got to get on with it and that's it.

I could be wrong, but his damaged hand seems to indicate a brain injury?

Yes plenty of water. Have a look at this link, taken from top of the tramway. Shows the pier and the toilets were opposite to the cream and red building.
The route along the beach from here to the home in Marske would be going to the left - as you look at the pic.

I noticed that as well, Mimi. Most 21 year olds aren't real hip on spending their 21st with the folks. At least not the whole celebration. It was almost...childish? the card display. Other than the bottle of booze, of course.

And a bit lonely - most 21st birthday pics are with mates and look a lot more lively

However, I suppose that could have been the at home photo for the family album before he went off to celebrate with pals.

"Mild learning difficulties", depending on who is the source of that info, could mean anything from diagnosed/tested mild intellectual disability through to relatively low impact difficulties that impair classroom learning and academic achievement but not anything like street smarts. Makes a big difference, IMO, to the level of potential callousness in leaving to go home and just wait with a cuppa - even if there weren't murder charges involved.

Sadly, I think they may be in the right spot. I'm sure they aren't doing that without using dogs, GPR, etc.

If the garden was dug or a new patio laid in December 1992 I would have thought even a rookie policeman should have noticed it.
The neighbours,unless away for Christmas ,would be able to view the Clarks' garden From their upstairs windows,so must have noticed strange activities in the garden .

Makes you wonder just how thorough this investigation was, back in 1992.

 

[MrsWatson]

I'm thinking the investigation back in '92 was half hearted and half arsed at best. That police department sure had a lot of distractions.

I’m just not buying what they are selling. They seem to want to create the narrative that he is missing and, as another poster said, I don’t get the anger. They don’t seem to consider that he may have come to harm which I think is suspicious.

Please help find my brother - he went missing on 27th December 1992 and hasn't been seen since. He went for a walk on the beach from Marske-by-Sea to Saltburn (North-East England) and never returned home. Someone, somewhere must know what happened to him, or must have seen something. Steven was involved in a road traffic accident when he was a toddler and as a result walks with a limp and can't use his left hand. He's 6ft tall and has brown hair and blue eyes. If you have any information, please, please get in touch and end the misery for his family. Steven has been missing for 15 years tomorrow, please join this group and send invites to your friends - the more people who see his pictures, the more chance we have of finding him. Steven's birthday is 30th August 1969 and he grew up in Benoni, South Africa, so may have a slight accent. He lived in Guildford and Markse-by-Sea in the UK before he disappeared. He's now 38 and went missing when he was 23

I was wondering about the legal aspects.

Have the parents been named suspects and shouldn't they have a lawyer if their home and garden get demolished (for the lack of a better word)?

Have also been wondering about the police searches two days ago in the woodland. What was that all about?

In the video, officers are hitting the undergrowth with sticks and every now and then they try to hit a hole in the soil. In what way would that be effective when looking for someone who disappeared 28 years ago?? If anything was hidden next to a public footpath, wouldn't it have been found by now? And in winter, when there is much less foliage? And by one of the many dogs for instance who walk there with their owners?

Video here. IMHO, if you do not know what it was about, your best guess would be that they are searching for objects and a person who went recently missing.

Very unconvincing.
