MISSING MILO


The above video features deceased cult leader Wesley Jones making a confession. It was posted yesterday on the 27th of January, 2026.

6565 days earlier, on the 6th of February, 2008, my nephew Milo Richards disapeared while delivering a routine fish & chips order. Four years later, his mutilated body was discovered after being deliberately removed from a creek.

Just two months later, Wesley Jones confessed to murdering Milo. The footage has not been available until now.

My name is John Richards. I was Milo's uncle, I am the brother to his father Paul, and former brother-in-law to his mother, Mary. I created this website in order to determine what happened on that day. I don't believe it was a success.

I spent years trying to understand who did this and why, and I never got any closer to the truth. I was vicious to the people who emailed this page. I ignored the people who tried to alert me to the YouTube channel that would eventually herald these answers. I tore the rift Milo's death caused in our family even further with my arrogance. I blamed, and harrassed, a man named Dave Hackett. To him I'm very sorry. It was a complete stitch up.

In 2012, shortly after the discovery of Milo's body, a woman named Eve Robin Smith used her position within a now defunct cult called New World Strategies to force a confession out of its leader, the aforementioned Wesley Jones. It worked. Then he died.

To my understanding, Wesley Jones' daughter Caroline Jones killed herself as an escape from his sexual abuse. Distraught by her death, he killed Milo in a depraved manic state. Before the publishing of this video, all that was known was that he was missing. Until now, there was no established connection between him and Milo. As he has been dead now for some time, we can never have a trial. So I have had to make my determination by cross referencing this confession with available circumstancial evidence. From this, I am convinced of his guilt.

Eve never contacted anyone in the family or even law enforcement with this information. I'm not sure why. I wish she had a long time ago. But I deeply appreciate the justice she sought for Milo, wherever she is now. It is because of her we found the truth.

I do not know who the identity of this uploader of this video is nor have I been able to get into contact with them. But if that person is you, thank you for sharing this, whatever your reasons.

I do not know the nature of Trey Docketty's involvement. The above YouTube channel is a comprehensive body of archived material from New World Strategies history. Several of those feature Trey Docketty. I have forwarded them to law enforcement and hope they arrive at a resolution. At time of writing, Jones' accomplice Nick Reynolds has been taken into custody. Nathan Langdale, Jones' chauffeur that day, has been co-operating with the authorities. If you have any idea of the wherabouts of Rodney Burman or Michael Edwards, please contact law enforcement with this information.

As of today I will be retiring this page. Thank you to everyone who ever helped us in our community searches, sent their tips and theories, and gave comfort to the family as we struggled with this loss. Truly, thank you.

Rest in peace, Milo.
