4th March

Saturday - and we spent the day going house-to-house in search of the boy, Ian.Typical of Cowley, nobody had seen nuthin'!We went back to report our lack of success to the mother and found PC Johns there. He wasn't cupposed to be on duty, but he must have thought they needed someone.

We searched all the open spaces with sniffer dogs. Being Sunday, there were a lot of the public out and about, trying to help, but in reality getting in our way. Still no sign of the missing boy. It's not looking good for him.
