Needham

Human blood has been found on a toy car and sandal believed to have belonged to toddler Ben Needham, who disappeared on the Greek holiday island of Kos 26 years ago, according to British media.

Kerry Needham, the mother of a British toddler who disappeared in 1991 on Kos, says that villagers on the Greek island know what happened to her missing son.

"We know for a fact that there are people on Kos that know what happened to Ben that day," Needham said in a recent interview with Britain's Mirror newspaper.

A UK police team probing the more than two-decade old disappearance of a British toddler on the Greek island of Kos said Monday the boy was likely killed in an accident.

However, investigators have not found the body of Ben Needham - who was 21 months old when he vanished near a farmhouse where his family was staying in July 1991 - and they said the investigation is continuing.

British police on Monday wrapped up a renewed investigation into the disappearance of toddler Ben Needham on the island of Kos in 1991, saying the boy probably died in an accident involving a digging machine.

Detective Inspector John Cousins, from South Yorkshire Police, told reporters that it was his "professional belief" that the boy died in a digger accident.

Ancient graves have been unearthed on the Greek Aegean island of Kos in a new search for a British toddler who went missing over two decades ago, police said Friday.

"We have actually found some archaeological remains, weve got four graves which date back at least 1,500 to nearly 2,000 years ago," Detective Inspector Jon Cousins said in a video released by the South Yorkshire Police.

British media reports said Thursday that investigators on the island of Kos have evidence of decomposition during a dig to find information about Ben Needham, the toddler who went missing on the island in 1991.

Police on Monday began excavation work on the island of Kos in the Dodecanese on Monday in the search for Ben Needham, a British toddler who went missing in 1991.

A new line of inquiry by the South Yorkshire Police suggests the 21-month-old may have died near a farmhouse his grandparents were renovating in July 1991.

British police start excavations on Monday on Kos island, following a new clue that the body of two-year-old Ben Needham, who disappeared in 1991, might be buried there.

The mother of Ben Needham, the toddler who went missing 25 years ago, will arrive on Kos on Tuesday with a team of British police officers in a bid to find information that could help the effort to find him.

The investigation into the disappearance of toddler Ben Needham from the village of Iraklise, on the isle of Kos, on July 24, 1991, has just warmed up with some new and interesting leads.
