16 year old Kevin Hicks vanished on a Sunday evening in March 1986 after going on an errand to the local corner shop. Two and a half years later 15 year old Lee Boxell disappeared on a Saturday afternoon, he was thought to be on his way to watch a football match. Both boys lived relatively close to each other in neighbouring boroughs of South London. Neither of the boys have been seen since and their families continue to search for the truth. In the last decade police have said they suspect foul play.
