MISSING MILO

Please email us at contact@missingmilo.net with
any information you may have. Thank you.

On the 6th of February, 2008 at 6pm, ten-year-old Milo Richards left his father's shop to deliver a fish and chip order, and would never return. It was a loss that our family could not have prepared for, and his absence continues to break out hearts with each passing day. He was the pride and joy of a community that is still haunted by his disappearance.

My name is John Richards. I am Milo's uncle, brother to his father Paul, and brother-in-law to his mother, Mary. Distraught by Milo's disappearance and extremely disappointed in the lacklustre response by police, I took it upon myself to do everything I could to aid the community effort to find out what happened to Milo and bring him home. This is why I have created this website, in order to form a cohesive picture of what happened that terrible day.

The goal of this website is to provide an in-depth summary of the events leading up to his disappearance, provide speculation as to what really happened, and construct potential theories as well as cast suspects for who it was that took him away from us. Milo didn't deserve to be the subject of this tragedy, but he deserves to be the focus of our hearts and minds in the mission to rescue him.

The more information we have, the closer we will get to finally understanding what happened, so please help where you can. If you have any information, or draw your own connections or theories while reading through this resource, or simply would like to know how to help, please email us at contact@missingmilo.net.

We can't do this alone.

Thank you.

We must fight for justice.
