The mum of missing Ben Needham has been told the DNA sample from a Danish man claiming to be her son is not a match
After police told her the “disappointing” news, she told The Mirror it will not stop her search for her missing son. “I will never give up for as long as I live,” she said on Wednesday. In July, Kerry spent the 33rd anniversary of her son’s disappearance from the Greek island of Kos, waiting to find out if a stranger who’d come forward, could be Ben. But this week she was told by South Yorkshire Police, he is not a match for Ben.
Kerry told The Mirror: “I knew in my heart of hearts it wasn’t him but there’s always that hope, there’s always that chance. It could be someone you least expect, it’s always possible. So this is disappointing, obviously.“ The mum from Sheffield urged people to continue coming forward if hey have suspicions. She said: “We won’t let this deter us from appealing to other people to come forward, if they think they could be Ben.

“We will always take any information confidentially. Always willing to do a DNA test on anybody. The search goes on. It’s a case of rebuilding my strength and hope again, to continue with the search.“
