**Lamplighter** Mon Jul 24, 2017 1:21 pm

Signs of blood have been found on part of a sandal and on soil inside a toy car recovered by police searching for missing Sheffield toddler Ben Needham.

Ben was 21 months old when he disappeared on the Greek island of Kos in July 1991.

South Yorkshire Police said forensic work was being carried out in Aberdeen to try to extract DNA from the items.

Det Insp Jon Cousins said it was still his "professional belief" Ben died in an accident at the farmhouse.

Details of the findings have been released on the 26th anniversary of Ben's disappearance. More at link.
