Kerry Needham, mother of Ben Needham, expressed concerns that the Greek Police are not actively pursuing her son’s case and seem to want it to be forgotten. South Yorkshire Police recently informed her that they would no longer be investigating Ben’s disappearance, leaving the responsibility to the Greek authorities. Kerry voiced her disappointment, stating that she believes the Greek police will not take the necessary steps to find Ben, such as conducting DNA tests, and will simply file the case away.
During an interview, Kerry revealed her disappointment that South Yorkshire Police would no longer be directly involved in the case. She had hoped for their support when she planned to return to Kos to collaborate with Greek prosecutors. Kerry highlighted past discrepancies in statements made during searches on the island in 2016 and expressed her reliance on South Yorkshire Police to ensure all leads are followed up.
Despite assurances from South Yorkshire Police that they are willing to assist the Greek authorities if new evidence emerges, Kerry remains skeptical. She emphasized the importance of continued investigation into Ben’s disappearance and urged the public to support her cause. Kerry remains determined to seek justice for her son and refuses to give up the search.
