In July 1981 a young boy disappeared from Barnes, south-west London, as he made his way home from the crowds gathered to watch the wedding procession of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer.
Months later, a man called the child’s father, claiming to be a prostitute and saying he had information about the young boy’s disappearance.
“He told me he believed (my son) may have been taken by pedophiles in the Elm Guest House near Barnes Common. He said there were very highly placed people there. He talked about judges and politicians who were abusing little boys,” the father later told the Telegraph.
Although he recorded the conversation and passed it to the police, it was apparently never investigated.
“They just pooh-poohed it and I never heard anything about the tape again. The whole thing went cold,” said the father. “At that time I trusted the police. But when nothing happened, I became confused and concerned. Now it is clear to me that there has been a huge cover up.”
