All too frequently, people or relatives of someone thinking they are Ben Needham come forward. Ben’s Mother then goes through the usual waiting process. The latest occasion concerns an adopted man living in the USA.

I stated in a post on this website on 17 March 2026, when the DNA result is made public it will be negative.

Yesterday 12 June 2026, I messaged a reporter at the Daily Mail, reminding him that the DNA will prove negative. This morning I read the IOS newsfeed that Ben’s Mother had today announced on her Facebook page that, the DNA result came back negative.

I find the whole case very strange. Why does nobody want to investigate the most likely place where Ben is buried?
