Derek Severus and his wife Eileen, who are in their 60s,

and a half away from the home of Derek and Eileen Severs, who disappeared about three weeks ago.

To resume their search for Derek and Eileen Severs, who vanished without trace from their home in Humboldt...

Despite a detailed search for a missing couple by police and hundreds of volunteers,

it was the information found in some dirt,

which led police to their whereabouts.

Derek and Eileen Severus were a wealthy, retired couple who lived a life of English leisure in Hamilton,

a small village about a two-hour drive from London.

The village sits on a narrow peninsula that juts out into Rutland water, one of Europe's largest man-made lakes. The woods and the lake make it a popular vacation destination,

and the Severus had been living here for the past 20 years

in a home known locally as the bungalow.

Derek Severus had been retired for the past few years and was well known and well

liked among neighbors of the small village. Doug Clements lived next door to the Sever's.

I'd never met a better man than Derek Severs. He liked a bit of horse racing and he loved

a pint of beer. Derek's wife Eileen was equally well known,

not only as a volunteer for many local charities,

but also as a kind and generous friend and neighbor.

Mrs. Sever's was one of those people

who spent all her time visiting people, doing things for charity, she

was always seen, every liked her.

Saturday afternoon, November 13, 1993 was the last time friends saw Derek Sever's.

He was having lunch and a few pints of ale here at the Finch's Arms Pub.
