Summary

Lee was 15 year old, when he was last seen in September 1988, on Sutton High Street. His case is one of the highest profile missing children’s cases – a young lad who had told his parents he was off to watch a football match, but who never returned home. It’s a case which has links to known paedophiles, an extensive nationwide campaign, and a determined effort from Lee’s family to find answers.
