Ben's heartbroken mother, Kerry, has never given up hope that her son was alive. However, now investigators on the island of Kos have told her to "prepare for the worst," that Ben may, in fact, have died 25 years ago.
Kerry has revealed that detectives believe the 21-month-old may have tragically been crushed to death by a digger. A forensic team have been combing two sites close to the home of Kerry's parents.
The breakthrough in the case came when a friend of the workman believed to be responsible came forward and revealed his information.
The digger-operator believed to have crushed little Ben died of stomach cancer last year just before the investigative team from South Yorkshire Police arrived on the island to reopen the case.
The man's friend maintains that the death was accidental.
