WEB PAGE – www.twentyfour7news.co.uk/bristol – 6.18 AM BST 23 Oct 2012 Fears are building for the safety of Benedict Finch, eight years old, who went missing in Leigh Woods near Bristol on Sunday afternoon. By Danny Deal Detective Chief Inspector Corinne Fraser last night said that police are ‘deeply concerned’ for the safety of the missing boy. ‘You’ve seen the weather we’ve been having,’ she said. ‘Cold, rain, you don’t want a small child to be out in that. ‘It is possible that Benedict has been subject of a criminal act,’ she added, but stressed that all lines of inquiry remain open. ‘At present, nobody is detained, nobody is a suspect.’ Members of the public are being urged to phone in with any information that might relate to Benedict. ‘We would urge people to come forward if they think they might have any information that could help us find this little boy.’ DCI Fraser revealed that they had already received 130 calls to a hotline dedicated to the boy’s disappearance. ‘I would like to give our sincere thanks to the public for their support in the search for Ben,’ she said, and urged people to report to Abbots Leigh village hall where a volunteer centre has been set up to co-ordinate search efforts. Anyone with information can call the missing hotline number 0300 300 3331. 5 people are discussing this article Donald McKeogh We should keep this little boy in our hearts. Newspapers have offered £25,000 reward. Good on them. Hope he’s home safe soon. Jane Evans-Brown Where’s his dad in all this? Jamie Frick Something strange about this. How does a kid get lost in the woods? Why wasn’t mum looking out for him? Catherine Alexander Seems odd. Perhaps the police are not telling everything. Susan Franks The police are only releasing what they need to. Let them get on with their jobs and pray for this little boy and his poor family… hope he is found safe and well…
