FULL ACCOUNT
Ben Needham, a 21-month-old British toddler, disappeared on July 24, 1991, while his family was renovating a farmhouse on the Greek island of Kos. Despite a 1992 investigation and a major 2016 reinvestigation that excavated land near the farmhouse based on witness accounts suggesting he was accidentally crushed by a digger, no remains have been found. British police believe Ben most likely died in a construction accident and was inadvertently buried. His fate has never been officially confirmed, and his case has been one of Britain's longest-running missing child investigations.
