Human remains found in field belong to dad missing for 56 years as police launch murder probe

Police have identified the human remains found in a field as a man who has been missing since the 1960s. Alfred Swinscoe went missing in early 1967 after drinking at the Pinxton Miners Arms pub in Derbyshire.

He gave his son money for a round of drinks and went to the toilet, but never returned, reports Nottinghamshire Live. The disappearance of Alfred, aged 54 at the time, left his family searching for answers ever since.

And his loved ones have finally got some closure following the recent discovery in Nomanshill Wood, Nottinghamshire. A member of the public came across bones in Coxmoor Road on April 26 this year, prompting an appeal from police.
