Police are seeking information to help trace Alexander Sloley, who has been missing since August 2008, days before his 17th birthday. Officers say the 16-year-old from Islington, north London, has had no contact with his family or loved ones since he disappeared.
The report describes police offering a £20,000 reward for information that could lead to his whereabouts. The case is being treated as a longstanding missing-person inquiry, with the announcement aimed at prompting new leads from the public.
Across the available coverage, the core details are consistent: Alexander Sloley went missing in August 2008; he was 16 at the time; he was from Islington; and the family has not heard from him since. The sources differ only in how they present the same basic facts and do not add conflicting information about the circumstances of his disappearance.
