ANNIVERSARY APPEAL – KEVIN HICKS
Kevin Hicks was 16 years old when he went to the shop just 350yds away from his home on 2 March 1986 in Croydon, Surrey. He had helped his dad, Derek wash the pots after dinner then realised he needed eggs for his cookery project the next day in school. He took £1 with him and left home about 8.40pm wearing a white, black & red Lacoste bomber jacket, jeans and white Hi-Tec trainers. The last sighting of him was at 10pm on Shirley Road heading for home in Sissinghurst Road, Addiscombe.
Kevin came from a happy family and he had no problems to give him reason to go missing. Finger tip searches in the area unfortunately found no trace of Kevin. Even a Crimewatch appeal did not result in any fresh intelligence. Unfortunately, since Kevin disappeared both his parent have passed away with discovering the truth.
Alexandra continues to campaign for answers. She firmly believes Kevin is still alive somewhere and that is what keeps her focused. “Kevin please get in touch or if anyone knows anything or hiding this from people please please come forward 40 years is too long living in limbo I need answers xx”
In 2016 a cold-case team launched a fresh investigation lead by DI John McQuade who believes Kevin was murdered and his body disposed. Police have offered a £20,000 reward to anyone who leads them to Kevin’s body or the prosecution of the person(s) responsible for his murder. DI McQuade is appealing for a lady who phoned the Croydon Advertiser on 25 October 1996 claiming she knew where Kevin’s body was to come forward again.
Kevin features in season five, episode 47 of The Missing Podcast, where his sister Alexandra speaks to Pandora Sykes about their childhood and the circumstances of his disappearance (available on Amazon Music and other podcast platforms).
Who can Help:
* Somebody knows what happened to Kevin. Were you involved? Or do you know what happened?
* Were you in Croydon? Did you see anything suspicious on Lower Addiscombe Road?

It is 29 years since Billy went missing, please keep his family in your thoughts 🙏🏻
ANNIVERSARY APPEAL - WILLIAM ‘BILLY’ DAVIES
William Davies, known as Billy was 16 years old when he went missing on 19 February 1997 from Perthcelyn in the Rhondda, Mid Glamorgan. He left his home in Hazel Terrace to meet friends in the Mountain Ash area.
Described as 5ft 10in in height and of medium build, Billy has short mousey hair, blue eyes and has a front tooth missing. He was looking forward to joining the army.
After Billy disappeared, a car was found abandoned near the riverbank in Penrhiwceiber. One of the occupants told police they had both been passengers in the vehicle and they had allegedly gone in the river. He claimed the teenager made it over to the far bank, but then lost sight of him.
The working hypothesis of South Wales Police is the 16-year-old was swept away by the swollen, fast-flowing River Cynon. The Davies family do not believe Billy would have gone anywhere near the river as he was terrified of water. Notwithstanding the fact a red flood alert was in place on that day.
Despite extensive searches including heat-seeking equipment, helicopters, sub-aqua teams and sniffer dogs, no trace of Billy has ever been found. As with all missing persons cases, until such time there is a conclusion, the investigation remains open but non-active unless any new lines of enquiry are received.
If you have any information, phone South Wales Police - Rhondda Cynon Taf on 101. If you would prefer to remain anonymous, contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or use their online reporting service (link below).
