What the petition asks
Damien Nettles aged 16 went missing 20 years ago in Cowes, Isle of Wight. His case remains a missing person despite a presumption of murder. Hampshire Police do not have the resources or funding to elevate this case. His family are desperate for justice and closure to move on. Thank you in advance.
As the Government provided extra funding for the McCann's & Needham's, we feel Damien's case should have the same level of intervention.
Damien's story was recently featured in an 8 part documentary on BBC3 a Unsolved: The Boy Who Disappeared. Please see the link below for full details:
