Case Theories

(1/1)

LuminousWanderer:
This case has always interested me, as it's one of the first high profile 'missing child' incidents that I remember.

In outline, what are the main theories for what happened to Ben?

As far I can make out, they are:

(i). abducted from the vicinity of the farmhouse;
(ii). accidental death in the grounds of the farmhouse or nearby; and,
(iii). accidental death on his brother's bike.

Are there any more?

G-Unit:
I think that's it, but it was his uncle with the bike, not his brother.

Vertigo Swirl:
Kerry Needham believes her son was taken by gypsies and may still be alive.

She has no evidence at all that Gypsies took Ben & accusing minorities based on no evidence is nothing but racism. Would it be acceptable for her to accuse Jews or black people of abducting Ben? Of course not. I find this quite appalling. A disgusting smear against Gypsies.
