Kerry Needham, the mother of missing British toddler Ben Needham, says South Yorkshire Police has told her it will no longer investigate her son’s disappearance. Multiple outlets report that police tell her responsibility for any future inquiries will shift to Greek authorities. In response, Needham has launched a GoFundMe page to fund a private detective to look into the case. The reports also state that she is urging UK political help, including calling on Prime Minister Keir Starmer, amid concerns about how the case is being handled following the change in investigation arrangements. The accounts agree that the decision comes from UK police and that Greek Police are expected to take the lead going forward, but they do not provide additional confirmed details about investigative findings. The reports focus on the mother’s reaction and the steps she is taking to commission private assistance and seek wider support while the case remains active.
