Missing persons investigations going back decades and cases of unidentified remains across the UK will be freshly investigated under a new pilot scheme.
The programme, by the charity Locate International, will be limited initially to a small number of police forces. But the National Police Chiefs Council, the national coordination body for law enforcement in the UK, has said it ‘looks forward’ to working with the charity in future, with volunteer detectives brought from around the world to reinvestigate all 13,000 cold cases from missing persons units of UK police forces.
