Police Reinvestigate Kenneth Jones Cold Case

0:00Police in Scotland are heading back to the old house in Fife, where 18-year-old Kenneth Jones lived before vanishing 27 years ago. Jones, a white guy standing 6 foot 2 with short, dark brown hair, was last seen on November 2, 1998, wearing a black leather. Jacket, black jeans, and yellow and green trainers. His family reported him missing two days later, and despite massive searches back then, he's never turned up. He'd be 45 now. This year, Police Scotland kicked off a fresh look into the cold case with their major investigations team. Earlier this year in February, they hit the garden at Ancrum Court with ground-penetrating radar, a sniffer dog, and even a drone to scan for clues. Underground, the homeowner, Ronnie McClellan, who's lived there for five years, says the February sweep came up empty, no alerts from the dog, nothing unusual on the scans. He was cool with it all, even told reporters they'd have his full support to dig up the whole yard if it helped Jones's family get answers.

1:01Now detectives are returning for more targeted digs in that same garden, based on what they learned from those initial scans. Lead investigator Detective Chief Inspector Jonathan Pleasant says they're using every bit of modern tech and keeping an open mind while combing. Due old evidence, they're urging anyone with even the smallest tip to speak up, stressing this push is all about delivering closure to Kenneth's loved ones after all.
