Does anyone remember Lee Boxall disappearing on route to a Charlton game in 1988 ?

Missing or Murdered ? The Disappearance of Lee Boxell Wednesday 8th May 10pm C5

I remember it well. The programme is on C5, so I'm not expecting it to be great, but thought I'd mention it.

    Yes, remember this clearly.

    Lots of posters around Selhurst and appeals in the programmes etc.

    Sounds like a real sinister edge to this story. There are some real evil bastards out there.

    A mate of mine went out with a family member a few years back. The family have been told what the police think happened but there wasn’t any proof. 

    The not knowing must be the hardest part.

    I thought this was covered in a t.v. programme  a few years back with regard the Yew tree investigations. Thinking was he might have been lured to a derelict house......

    We shall see what C5 say.

    Lee's Dad was in a choir made up of people with missing family members on Britain's Got Talent.

    SPOILER ALERT













    So it looks like Lee never went to the Charlton game.
    Most likely murdered by paedophiles at "the shed" in Cheam.

    Looks like the original detective team really cocked it up. Went with the notion that he went to Selhurst & that was it. Surely if they had spoken to the 2 young lads who saw him in Sutton at 2.20pm then they might have had a chance.

    So sad for the parents, as a parent, losing a child is just about as bad as it gets, it certainly played a part in sending my own to an early grave, for your child to go missing and to never truly know what happened must be even worse. Sadly I don't think they are ever going to find out the truth.

    Saw his Dad on GMB this morning. Made me cry I can't imagine what pain he has been through yet he appears so dignified.
