Appeal shows lost Ben Needham as an adult



A mother whose toddler son was abducted in Greece 16 years ago hopes a new computer generated picture could help trace him. The mysterious disappearance of Ben Needham while staying with his family on the holiday island of Kos has similarities to that of Madeleine McCann.

But his mother Kerry Grist, 35, believes less has been done to find her blonde-haired son who was 21 months old at the time. She hopes the release of the high-tech police photofit of how Ben may now look could help reunite him with her.

Mrs Grist appealed for him to question who he was an get in touch with her if he recognised himself from the picture.

She feels Kate and Gerry McCann have received a much higher because of their status as doctors compared to her as a single parent with her parents at the time.

Looking up Ben Needham articles and I note it is coming up to another anniversary for the Needhams of Ben's abduction. He'll be 17 years missing ! Anyone travelling around Greece even this summer may be able to help. Admittedly he could be anywhere.

A message to say that I'm thinking of the Needham family at this time. Hoping you will meet Ben some day soon.

I was searching the net for anything new in appeals for Ben being Christmas time. I found a video dedicated to Ben for his 19th Birthday. Sorry it's late Ben but we will continue to search for you.

Happy 19th Birthday Ben
