We might be able to now give my dad the funeral he deserves but we don’t have the answers we desperately want. “Someone killed my dad and I want to know why?

I need to know why.” Alfred was 54 when he disappeared at the Pinxton Miners Arms after giving his son Gary money to buy more drinks and going to the outside toilet.Grandson Russell Lowbridge, who was four at the time of Alfred's disappearance, contacted the police after seeing a media appeal for information on unidentified human remains.

He believed the items of clothing found with the body, including two distinctive socks and a shoe, belonged to his grandad who was a father-of-six.
