The Story of Stephen's Disappearance

The stayner family were convinced that stephen was buried under the mound of dirt and pleaded with the police to dig it up. In late 19 75, a patient in his mid twenties named tom wilson wanted to confess to participating in stephen's disappearance. Police looked into wilson's claims, but concluded he was lying and wasn't involved in any way. The false confession left del stane completely dejected, as he was already struggling to cope. He often took stephen's old clothes out of his cupboard, hoping to remember what he smelt like. Del was convinced someone in meced knew the truth about what happened to his son, but were choosing to remain silent.
