Well, here's a brief summary of Brian Field.
From Murderpedia:
Classification: Murderer
Characteristics: Paedophile - Rape
Number of victims: 1 +
Date of murder: April 23, 1968
Date of arrest: 2001 (33 years later)
Date of birth: 1937
Victim profile: Roy Tutill (male, 14)
Method of murder: Strangulation
Location: Mickleham, Surrey, England, United Kingdom
Status: Sentenced to life in prison, 2001
His mother was a prostitute, abandoned him at birth, in Lincolnshire, in the 1930s. In 1959, he joined the Marines and spent time in Malta and Cyprus (did he commit crimes there later in life, maybe?). He had his first homosexual experience in the Marines.
He was married with a young baby when he committed his first murder.
In November 1969, he was fined for gross indecency, after passing notes to an undercover officer in a public restroom. In November 1972, he was ailed for two years for assaulting a 14-year-old boy, by pouncing on him in a country lane.
In April 1982, he was fined for gross indecency for abusing a 17-year-old boy.
In September 1983, he was jailed for four years after being convicted for two counts of buggery. But apparently he didn't serve his whole sentence, as in June 1986, he was jailed for four years for falsely imprisoning two boys, aged 13 and 16, in his car. they escaped by jumping out.
He was only convicted of Roy Tutill's murder after a DNA swab for drink-driving.
Brian Field killed in 1968, but was not arrested for this murder for 33 years. It seems unlikely that a predator would not commit another murder in that amount of time. Also, it seems likely, being that Field was 31 at the time, that this was his first victim.
So, I have looked through to see any possible victims between the mid-1950s and today.
MILES VALLINT
Age: 11
Date: 27th August 1959
Place: Croydon, London
Circumstances: Miles, a half-Indian, went to Croydon to choose a bicycle, as his birthday was coming up. He left his house at half past one, but did not return by half past four, when he said he would.
At eleven that evening, someone sleeping rough found Miles' body on waste ground. He had not died where he was left. He was strangled, but there were no marks on the sides or back of his neck.
Miles had stayed at the bicycle shop until shortly after two, then two others on different roads. The last sighting of him was at half past three.
DAVID FRANCIS LAWRENCE
Age: 5
Date: 8th March 1968.
Place: Tabard Gardens
Circumstances: Found dead in a public restroom.
STEVEN NEWING

Age: 11
Date: 2nd September 1969
Place: Fakenham, Norfolk
Circumstances: Last seen at 7pm when a friend travelling on a bus saw Steven walking on his own near the A149 road, by the junction.
Steven has not been found.
GARY SHIELDS
Viv Graham's mam speaks of her heartache
Age: 6
Date: 4th August 1974
Place: River Tyne
Circumstances: Near his home in Knotts Flats, Tynemouth, this body was found among the reeds. He had been sexually assaulted and suffocated.
He had last been seen playing football near his home. Later that night, a man called the police to say he'd seen a body 'just like a torso' in the shrubs. He gave a name and address which were found out to be false.
SANDY DAVISON
Age: 4
Date: 23rd April 1976
Place: Bourtreehill, North Ayrshire, Scotland
Circumstances: Sandy and his sister were playing in the garden when the gate flew open and the dog ran out. His sister came back without the dog. She underwent hypnosis in 2008 and says she saw Sandy getting in a car.
I am a bit annoyed because Sandy has barely been given any attention whereas his case is similar to Madeline McCann and Ben Needham. Is it because Scotland isn't as exotic as Greece and Portugal?
Sandy has never been found.
GARY WILSON

Age: 14
Date: 22nd November 1978
Place: Deptford, South London
Circumstances: Gary was horribly beaten, mutilated with broken glass, raped and strangled with a belt. He was hidden behind an old couch and tires in the yard of a derelict shop. A man was found guilty in 1979, but this was overturned in 1995.
MARTIN ALLEN
http://doenetwork.org/cases/4199dmuk.html
Age: 15
Date: 5th November 1979
Place: King's Cross Station, London
He was last seen at King's Cross Station while coming home from school to pick up some money. A passenger came forward to say they saw a man and a boy acting suspiciously at Earl's Court Station. There is a theory he was taken for a VIP pedophile ring, but that DOESN'T mean Field didn't take him...
Martin is still missing.
JOHN GREENWOOD AND GARY MILLER
Ages: 11
Date: 17th August 1980
Place: Huydon, Liverpool
Circumstances: Attacked at a rubbish tip on a playground. A man walking his dog saw a man come out of the area, between 30 and 35, about 5'8. The two boys had been stabbed. Gary died in the hospital. I think I can't find much about this case because the boys were lower-class.
JEFFREY ALLEN

Jeffrey Allen disappearance: Mum's appeal on 30th anniversary

MARK GAVEY
http://www.doenetwork.org/cases-int/398dmuk.html
Age: 15
Date: 2nd March 1987
Place: Bootle, Merseyside, Liverpool
Circumstances: Went home after a row with his girlfriend. Only had enough money for the bus fare. While I do not know if Field was in prison, I am almost certain that Field knows something.
LEE BOXELL
http://www.doenetwork.org/cases-int/325dmuk.html
Age: 16
Date: 10th September 1988
Place: Sutton, Surrey
Circumstances: Lee and his friend went window-shopping that morning. Lee said he might go to a football match that afternoon. It is not known if he arrived. While I do not know if Field was in prison at the time, a lot of articles I have found suggest that Lee is a victim, so I believe that Field may have been free. I believe that he knows what happened to Lee.
CHRISTOPHER STANLEY

Circumstances: On Boxing Day, they went to play on Meriden Lake, which was frozen over, but were told to go home by a police officer. They went home and told their parents they were going to visit one of Patrick's brothers. The last known sighting of them is at a Shell garage, just after midnight, where an attendant gave them a packet of biscuits. Patrick's new bicycle was found at the back of the garage.
Field lived nearby and has been mentioned frequently in articles about the boys.
They are still missing.

Again, this is speculation. But it could help solve the cases.
