In July 1991, 21-month-old Ben Needham disappeared outside a farmhouse on the Greek island of Kos. His family believed he was only a few steps away. Within minutes, he was gone.

For more than three decades, Ben’s disappearance has haunted his family and investigators. Was he abducted? Did he wander away? Was there an accident involving machinery near the farmhouse? And why have so many leads, sightings, searches, and theories failed to bring him home?

In this episode of Dead Ends, we take a deep look at the disappearance of Ben Needham: the family’s move to Kos, the events of 24 July 1991, the early investigation, the white car sighting, the airport and ferry questions, the later digger theory, the false sightings, the DNA disappointments, and the unanswered questions that still remain.
