Missing man 'on his way to parents suspected of killing him he vanished'
Missing Steven Clark appeared to be “on his way home” to the parents suspected of his murder, when he was seen by a new witness on the day he vanished 28 years ago.
The witness came forward to say that she saw Steven between 3pm and 4pm in Marske-by-the-Sea, North Yorks – a short distance from the house – on December 28, 1992.
Lead investigator Det Chief Insp Shaun Page said: “I now believe Steven was still alive – minutes from his home.
“Obviously one option is that he was on his way home – there is a likelihood that he was – and this is really significant in terms of what happened to Steven next.”
The cold case review has established that
Steven was happy at the time he disappeared, with a new a girlfriend and job interviews lined up.
Steven, who walked with a pronounced limp as a result of a car accident when he was two, was heading
in the direction of The Ship Inn when the new witness saw him.
DCI Page would like to establish if he went into the pub that day.
