Description

Mother, Sally Jones expresses her relief and delight at the return of her four year-old son Simon following his abduction. He was found eight weeks after his disappearance, in a men’s hostel less than a mile from his home. Hertfordshire Assistant Chief Constable David Cansdale says a search of the hostel ten days after he went missing found nothing. Grandmother Jean Stevens(?) says Simon is home in time to celebrate his fifth birthday. Carrie Derby(?) and Simon Moore-Brown(?), neighbours of the hostel at which Simon was found, said there was nothing to indicate he was there. Helen Costello reports for LBC Newstalk Breakfast.
